A good year for Model T and A fans. A lot of $1, $5 and$10 tarp sales. AACA consolidated some fields to fill in the main fields, still some spaces though. Behind the arena 2 rows of stalls and one poor stall out in the middle of God's country. Deals were scattered throughout the fields. There...

Been there done that - wrote the car off - never caught the transport driver who lost the tire. Nobody killed - police not interested in finding the bugger. Nice argument with the insurance company. Better half pissed. Upside still alive.

They are still in Port Huron, MI. at the Restore. More pictures for those that asked for more info.

I didn't know that the Habitat Restore store was into old Ford parts. Spotted them last week might still be there. $45 each

Not going to miss Hershey are you? Opening up afterwards - I see somebody has their priorities right lol.

I watched a program that said tracking down legal ownership of the cars in Cuba is very difficult.

Try Diesel fuel - spray it on and let it soak - scrap it off - worked on a 57 ford undercoating - it helped that it was on a rotisserie.

Another question for you. If the 4 cylinder is longer and the torque tube is shorter and the transmissions are all the same size? is the location or mounting of the 4 cyl transmission different than the V8?

Thank you I thought that's the way it was there must be an abundance of 4 cylinder ones around because I have checked a few and they were the shorter lengths.

In the last 6 months I have purchased two 1934 Ford oem original radiators. One in Canada and one at Hershey 2016 both had the same back history - you know the one - was taken off a running car blah blah blah both fellows appeared trustworthy. You live an learn the one from Canada was a...

You will need a road draft tube - get rid of the crank case vent - TBirds didn't have them.

The biggest stumbling block is applying for the Pennsylvania Tax permit - you sell they take - they wanted a permit for a car club information stand. This may have changed I inquired about a spot a few years ago.

I checked the gear ratio stamping on my lower banjo web, I was interested to see the numbers 303 stamped never seen that before what's the ratio?

My welder and I went over the frame and it is in pretty good shape, am going to hold off on boxing the frame until I can mock up the body and figure out which suspension/steering I am going to use. I am going to use a flathead V8 so that is another reason not to box it.
