Very cool. I'm 19 and have my great grandpa's Model A as well. Just got it out this evening. I've been in the heat of college and haven't had a chance to get her out. We rebuilt the distributor, ran around the block and now we have no spark, so that's another mystery for another thread on here...

My Sport Coupe is all original, and I can drive stick, but not CONFIDENTLY. cruising around neighborhoods at 25 and 30mph with 40 hp in front of you is a lot different than a 300 horsepower Mach 1. (That's stock too. He has this one pimped out somehow. Not exactly sure though. He definitely had...

So I have friend in the neighborhood with a 1930 Roadster and was looking it over at the car show yesterday. He had me drive it into his trailer, and it felt a lot smaller in the cab than my sport coupe. Did they have to lengthen out the trunk and cut some space out of the cab to fit the...

The car show was a big success today. http://s1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg514/tdub2112/?action=view&current=DSC_4288.jpg Took home the Best Antique award. There wasn't much competition though. I was the oldest car there, and I had the only Model A that wasn't stuff full of a V8 and covered in...

Well, Charlotte's (and my) first car show is tomorrow morning. I just got home from my cabin to find my air filter, axle shims, and side view mirror on the doorstep, so I hurried and put the filter and mirror on, so she's ready to go. On a similar note, the mirror I ordered had a metric nut on...

What I really want is a little diesel pickup. I'm not talking a half ton truck or anything (although they should put them in while their at it) But just a little Ranger sized truck with a little 2.0L. All i need is something that can haul sod on a weekday and dirt bikes on the weekends . . . all...

There's an Early Iron club in my area, but nothing Model A, or even Ford specific. Not even one in all of Idaho. I'll have to see if i can find anyone else in the Early Iron Club when I put Charlotte in the car show on Saturday. I'm taking the Corvette out to my grandparents and bringing in the...

http://s1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg514/tdub2112/ Here's the link to some of the pictures. The first pic is when we brought it back from the cabin (note the mopar ;) The second picture has my nephew, me, dad, grandpa and great grandpa (Yes, that's five generations) The third picture is my dad...

Hello All! I'm nnew to Ford Barn, and actually, I'm a die hard Mopar guy, so don't try to hate on my too much. The reason I'm here is a funny story though. I typed it all up before, it came out to be a novel, but I never hit the submit button and my laptop battery died. So, I'll give you the...
