Depending on the size of the stain, you might be able to patch it with a piece from under an appliance.

Glad I found it when I did. It has been an invaluable source of information. Happy Birthday!

Both. I am working right now getting the radiator and fuel systems functional again. The car sat for about 10 years and was not drained prior to parking so I have a little work in front of me. It was originally a color of blue very similar to yours. Not sure if I am going to keep that blue or...

Maybe my memory fails, but I though I read something earlier that Premium did not contain the Ethanol additive. If that is correct, then the solution might be to fill it up for the winter with Ethyl.

Do you have another photo that has a full shot of the Woody on the left? Thanks

So is this a regular maintenance item, or just something you do when you are rebuilding the rear end?

Ok, pardon the newbie question. I have read this and the other gas tank threads multiple times as I am about to face that task myself. Why has no one reproduced the gas tanks. If not in steel, then aluminium. Seems that there are repro parts for most everything else and judging by the...

So what does it mean if your Motor# differs significantly from the title? The title says that my car is a 1930, but the motor# A301663, specs out to Aug 2, 1928. At some point, I will have to pull the cowl and look for a number under there.

Brent, I am glad to hear that you have used the POR-15 and had no problems yet. This is really the kind of response that I am looking for. I know that the gas will be reformulated as some time in the future and what-ever they put in it then may make the sealer fail. Hopefully when that does...

That will be something else that I have to address. I am a big guy and after reading that the steering wheel was attached to the gas tank, and pulling yourself in with it could cause failure at the attachment points, I was thinking "Oh Great". If I do pull the tank, I will look into the '31...

I have read many of the posts on the forum concerning this topic, and re-read BRENT in 10-uh-C's excellent thread on replacement tanks (I do hope someone comes up with one). My question is this. Most of the discussions deal with the Hirsch or RedKote or some "shop" applied product. There is...

Ok, let's see if this works on the photo

Thank you for all of the advice. I have already ordered the owners manual (should be here today) and will start looking for the rest of the docs. Did a quick internet search on the Les Andrews book and there seems to be a WIDE variety of prices. Is there something that makes one more valuable...

My name is Ken and I just bought my first Model A. :) With some valuable advice from Swampy, I was able to purchase a nice '30 Model A Huckster. It has not been driven in over 6 years and appears to have not receive alot of regular care for some time before that. I have already started...
