    Caveat with Mac's Auto Parts

    When I have ordered from Mac's a "black cloud" appeared. Something always would go wrong. TomW's recommendations are the ones I use.

    Hurricane Mathews landing

    The thing we have here, post hurricane, is theft of gensets in the middle of the night. We chain and lock with a shotgun handy at the door. Mathew was my 4th here.

    Hurricane Mathews landing

    We got the hurricane in Jupiter but dodged the Worse. Only a fence torn down. The A's were protected in the garage, F150 outside but no problem. Gusts here only to 84.

    31 Deluxe Roadster too much oil, should I drain some?

    This is the advice I got in 1956 when I got my first Model A. It worked then and will work now.

    31 Deluxe Roadster too much oil, should I drain some?

    To drain a quart, have someone tightly cover the oil fill tube while you loosen the oil drain plug. But, this could be messy. You are not the only one who's done this at least once or twice.

    Fun Oscar Meyer picture on MAFCA website

    In 1948 when I was 6 the Oscar Meyer Mobile drove past my house. It stopped and a young man got halfway out (no roll down Windows) and asked for directions for which I had a sort of answer. I ran in to tell the folks but no one would believed there was Weiner Mobile.

    Restorers: Did your body metal parts assemble easily?

    This is the story on our 1930 TS...... What a job. If I had known would have bought a finished car. Yes, it was fun, I loved learning and the comradeship.

    How do you avoid people swarming your car when you stop?

    Excellent list Carl. "I get does it run?" quite often.
