Haven't posted in a long time but I do come & snoop around from time to time. I have made more progress on my Model A. Just wanted to give a update on my progress. It now sports some very nice Henry steel fenders, splash aprons & running boards. My car is now all original Ford Model A steel even...

Are 28-29 running board splash aprons the same as 31? I know 30's are 2 piece but will work on a 31.

I found a new pair from Brookville that a person purchased & didn't use. I paid for them. Waiting for him to ship them now.

All the suppliers that I can find are out of stock. I can find the two piece 30's but not any 31's that have the fender extensions made on them. Would settle for some good used ones. Anyone know where I can find some new or used?

Here is a current pic of it. We really enjoy riding around in it.

The way I found the history on my car was the person that bought it from the family that bought it new. He personally knew the family. When the car was bought new the owners lived in Mart Texas. The car had been sold to 4 different people before I bought it. The person that bought it from the...

Here ya go. My brakes work really good. I really wanted to go back with mechanical brakes. The pic on my avatar is my car when I got it. It was driven past being wore out. I got all the history about who & where it was bought new. It stayed in the same family for a long time. They wore it out &...

Mine must have a lower rear end ratio than yours. I checked my u joints & they are tight. Been planning on removing the oil pan & checking bearing clearances. Hopefully it has some shims & if the bearings are too loose I can remove some shims. I've been trying to find a good rebuildable motor &...

I put front & rear hydraulic brakes off a 40 Ford car on mine. I turned the rear backing plates a 1/4 turn forward & ran the line through the rear radius rod. The large piston faces the front. I also fabbed me a battery box with the master cylinder mounted on it. I just copied the ones you can...

I replaced mine using a porta power between the bellhousing & frame rails one side at a time. The frame doesn't have to be spread very much at all. I still have vibration when I get over 45mph. When I get on the highway I add timing & lean out the gav & it runs smooth but starts vibrating at...

I would probably get a grease stain on it while working on my Model A.

Hope this helps.

It was 80 here Monday & the wife & I both had Presidents Day off so we took a all afternoon cruise in our Model A. We had to run the AC (windshield open).

Radiator is high up against the shell as it can go. Someone must have put a shorter neck in the radiator. Couldn't find anyone with a lathe to cut my cap down so I die grindered it. Problem solved.

The c clip holds on the switch actuator. You put the spring on first then compress the spring & put the c clip on. Then put the cover on the switch & then align the switch rod up with the switch. Put the lanyard clip on the tangs & slide the switch on & clip the lanyard to hold the switch on...
