Can you get this where you are? https://www.evapo-rust.com/thermocure/ This is a fantastic rust cleaner, specifically designed for an automobile cooling system. Run it in your radiator for a few days or up to a month. It will come out black when you drain it, and if you leave it in the bucket...

I restored my 1928 ND license plates myself. Fortunately for me, the background color was black, while the "raised" color was white. I blasted the plates and then primed them with Rustoleum automotive gray primer. Then I sprayed the entire plate white. I masked the large numbers with blue...

I bought this little guy for a tour earlier this year. Fits perfectly between the coupe bench and shift lever. Freeze four water bottles and put them in the cooler area. Easily removable for shows. I think it was $20...

Has anyone seen the current movie 12 Mighty Orphans? Aside from being a good story, nearly every car in the movie was a Model A Ford. I also saw a TT pickup, and a few mid-30's style Fords. One wooden-spoked vehicle I could not identify, but I don't believe it was a Ford. The school buses also...

I have a cracked one and was considering tossing it in the scrap pile. I guess I'll hang onto it.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing needs to change for me to be comfortable.

My luggage rack fits both my 28 Coupe and 29 Tudor as they are the same spacing and bolt pattern. However, when the rack is on the 28 Coupe, I could not remove the spare tire as it rode too low and the rack interfered. No issues on the 29 Tudor.

Let's look at this a little differently... 1. He's helping a friend. Could it be that the friend enlisted the author because he already knows a thing or two about Model A's? 2. He took the time to write a letter to Model A news...not post on a forum or Facebook. He knew a legitimate source of...

I just got done diagnosing a very similar noise. Ring gear was contacting the front face of the flywheel housing where there are some ribs in the casting, and only when the clutch was engaged. It's not just the starter bolts that the ring gear could be striking. The ring gear was .060 over the...

With mine, there was a casting line on the under surface of the water pump that was causing the issue. As soon as I filed this away, the fan did not make contact.

Muffler clamp?

I agree. I think it’s only a matter of time before the Andrews manuals, and the Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards, will have to be available in digital form. Edits and revisions could be made effortlessly...and a service could notify anyone who subscribes of changes via email. Any time...

...and this is the kind of attitude that this thread has referenced for nearly two pages now...

I just got a set of front hubs/drums and shoes back from Randy and on the car last night. Very good product and workmanship. 19 days the car was on stands, and three of those are on me...
