KOOL! Thank you so much Ryan!

Rumble seat hinge bolt brackets.

We've ridden in that woody, it was fantastic!! And the people were superb too!!

Sorry to hear about the thumb but the motorcycle is kool. Reminds me of when in my 20's and welding in flip flops, did the hot metal dance with a blob between my toes.

Re: B manifold boss — what is it? Which was never put into production.

Does anyone have any Hershey photos?

On my '28 A pickup original 2 blade I welded all the suspected areas 'tween the blades & pully, no problem for 30 years. Yes, I inspect it every 3-5 years. Lost a blade off my '30 A fordor in the 60's in Big Bear Lake, Ca. about midnight, great vibration so I pulled over & looked under the hood...

WOW! Someone else read Tractor Wars! I read that one & one other like it, interesting but , like you, I'm not into tractors. As you say some interesting stuff & another facet of our American history. No, I won't be reading it again.

That's a lot more interesting to drive to work than your standard freeway trek in a modern sedan! Switching from winter to summer driving, after high school in Big Bear I went "down the hill" to junior collage in Victorville still driving the A fordor with no top. Coming home for the weekend...

To add to the Big Bear winter fun, I also had a set of ******** snow chains (3 per wheel), and they worked really well. With the stock 19" narrow wheels & chains I put many modern car drivers to shame, not just on the paved roads but the forest roads too. The fordor was my first car and I...

Big Bear Lake Ca. high school in the '60's: can't afford antifreeze in my '30 A fordor so drained radiator every night & filled it every morning from the water heater, then swept the snow off the seat (no top), started it up & drove to school. Manifold heater with hose over to driver to keep...
