still looking

looking for a mid to late twenties Ford Roadster or Roadster Pickup body in the Seattle/Tacoma area. thanks, Paul

nicely done

1930 Model A Coupe SOLD Nice clean stock coupe, 90% restored 25 years ago and stored since. Runs good, drives good.

a bee flies in front of your nose you automatically swipe at it there is a half inch extension with 3/4 socket in your hand the socket flies off the extension and into the windshield there is now a nice big star square in front of the drivers seat

what type of lid is on that glass container?

wear hard leather sole shoes, modern shoes are far too soft and pliable

Pulled the column, damaged the new horn rod removing it, Polished up the old original horn and light switch and put it back in. Like I should have done to begin with. Works nice and smooth and has that touch of "fair wear and tear" to look right in this car.

yup, one day surprisingly sweet, the next sour and surly.. (does not only apply to "the Model A experience")

Upper bushing looked fine, so I left it in place. levers work nice. Sounds like I will be pulling it apart to clean and sand. Sure seems like I have to build a car twice to get it right once..

Turning the wheel does not turn turn the lights on.. Good tip about the brush.. Hate to have to pull the column again though..

How tight should the light switch feel? I "restored" the steering wheel in my '30, Pulled the column, put new advance, throttle and horn rods in and put it all back in the car. The horn rod went in kind of tight, I thought with a bit of use it would loosen up a bit, but now that's all in I...

I never thought of an A as a luxury car before..

just picked up this one a couple weeks ago, was 99% restored about twenty five years ago and never driven, been putting the last few finishing touches on it.

zero miles, I live here say AHOOGA if you see this car puttin' around
