My 31 was a llittle stiff steering. I installed a shortened pitman arm and adjusted the slop out by following Les Andrews instructions in his mechanics handbook. It steers very good now. Could easily drive it with one hand if I desired, but use two.

My "A" had hard steering. I installed a shortened pitman arm and adjusted the "slop" out by following Les Andrews instuctions in his Mechanics handbook. I recommend the procedure. It sure worked for me.

My two cents worth FWIW. I installed (with some professional help) Cartouche seat covers and side panels. Did the side panels by myself. Had some professional assistance with the seats. I am very satisfied with the product. My professional person commented on the high quality of the...

I changed mine on the last two 'A's that I've had. Always have been glad that I did. Makes it easier for the service station to grease it.

A Jay: Since you asked, here are a few of the photos you requested. I had a 30 tudor when in high school. It came with 16 inch wheels and I always liked them, so I put them on my rdstr when I finished restoring it.

Charlie: Why do you say "Don't widen the wheel wells." i'm considering just that approach to put side mounts on my roadster. What should i know, that i don't know? Thanks in advance for your input.

Engine number A 3975783. 1931 Model A Roadster. Probably assembled in November or December of 1930. Not sure where.

That was a good film. Sure enjoyed it. I admire the model T. Used to have a 22 T. Would have been nice to have had some model A in it

Over a coupe, i would pick a P/U any day. I miss the one I had for ten years. It was so versitile. You could do any thing with it, haul cargo, go camping, drive it in the winter time or wash it up and drive it to church on Sunday.

I favor the white wall tires. Makes the car look classy. Gives it some pizzaz FWIW
