Great show, hopefully there is less rain then last year!

I’ve heard Jeff Kelly, son of the late Tim Kelly is planning on bringing one of his father’s Model A Town Cars to this show. Always a treat to see one of these rare models up close.

There are part assemblers then there are restorers. I'm always amazed at how creative restorers can be making repo parts work to keep projects moving forward. Great job.

I was at the Classic Auto Mall Swap meet in Morgantown, PA yesterday. The event had both indoor and outdoor spaces. Even with the heavy rains yesterday, turnout was very good. Seemed there was a pent up demand to get out and do car guy stuff. It was good to see all the familiar faces...

Canadian, I zoomed into your picture but could not make out the tire size. Are these 15 or 16" rims? Do you happen to know the rim with and backspacing? Thanks, Mike

On an open trailer, I use four axle straps with the tie down straps. On the rear I cross the tie downs and place the axle straps around the rear axle bells. The taper on the bells keeps the straps from moving. On the front axle I again cross the tie downs with the straps placed between the...

If you are referring to the measurement Les Andrews list in his red book. It is not correct. This error has been pointed out many times here. For safety make sure you have a minimum thread engagment length equivalent to the diameter of the rod in the clevis.

Pm sent.

I am having this same problem with a new set of tappets from Bratton's. To get the correct clearances I've had to tighten them down and then some. I've had to remove the valve spring and move the valves out of the way to use a standard wrench to make the adjustment as they are so tight it...
