Sad news for sure. I met Ron about 15 years ago when my dad was restoring a 31 coupe. Spent many hours at his shop. Such a wealth of knowledge, I learned alot from him.

My 14 year old son has the lifestyle. He bought a 94 Ranger last year with own money he has been saving. He and I have been working on it. He has been spraying the base coat and I do the clear coat. He had dual exhaust put on it and the other morning when it was cool and damp out when I...

My brother is helping a friend get a 29 roadster running. It has a zenith carb, and was leaking gas allover like the float was stuck. He ordered a rebuild kit from Snyders and got the better needle and seat. Rebuilt the carb, had the float adjusted correctly, and he is still having gas...

Reading this reminds me of what my dad has always said. "Everyone should drive a Model A sometime in their life"

Do you still have this for sale?

My Dad. He bought a 29 Tudor when he was in high school in 1957. (his first car) I was 3 years old when he finished the first restoration. When I was going to college he did a frame off restoration in the early 90's. We used that car as our get away car in our wedding, and 3 years ago he...
