Thanks guys - sure appreciate all of the information!

Hey fellas and ladies too- I'm having difficulty identifying accessible lift points on my A. I am grateful to have a 10,000 lb 2 post lift in my shop - but the arms aren't quite long enough to engage the axles - even if the wheels are removed. As you may be aware, Ford placed several obstacles...

Idaho "Classic" or "Old Timer" $25 one time fee - good for the lifetime of the vehicle - as long as it is older than 1943 and not heavily modified.

Those pics are great! PS - Go Bison! OBU alum '89. Sure miss Shawnee!

Hey folks - First of all, thanks in advance for your continued good advice - I sure enjoy this forum! I have a '29 Phaeton whose clutch is really growling at me. I've known for some time now that it would likely need a new clutch - but I'm a little daunted by trying to find parts for replacing...

Wow Mike - great information there! Great review.
