Check with Tim Johnstone with Woody Wagons. He can provide correct measurements.

Jim/Alabama x2 Hail State

Based on OP of 98% original I say go for the "real" shocks. Makes it handle better and will improve it to 99% original. I am glad I spent the bucks to rebuild/replace mine.

What 31 Tudor said worked for me.

I think the more you chew it the bigger it gets.

I heard folks including my wife at times call our 150B a truck.

Thanks Pluck. I was afraid of that.

Can one of you guys tell me the correct finish for the starter rod in 1931? The Restoration Guidelines are fuzzy about it, in my opinion. I understand that in the early years it was cadmium but does that apply to later years also? Thanks in advance.

S and S might have a repop curtain pan. Tim Johnston at the Woody Wagons special interest group can supply blueprints if needed.

Oogah - named by the grandkids. Sometimes it is just "the woody."

Do it correctly. They need to not cut corners - literally or figuratively.

Ditto on comments by jkcrosson and Scott. Roy was always hospitable. He was a lifetime member of Central Alabama MAFC and will be missed in the hobby.

Central Alabama MAFC recently donated a chassis to the Autauga Co. Tech School auto program to rebuild. We had been donating money yearly. The chassis is apperently generating a good bit of interest and enthusiasm in the students. We hope to also make some Model A fans/club members eventually...

I have taken our station wagon on to Transportation Day at my grandchild's elementary school in recent years. I open both front doors and let each student get in, honk the horn and slide across and exit the passenger door. The grins are priceless. I hope I have generated at least one old car...

Black siliicone worked for me. Used zip ties to hold wire until silicone cured then removed them.
