    A little help please ... Top saddle strap storage

    Hello one and all, I'm usually found on the early V8 forum, but today have a Model T question. Considering the top saddle where the bows are folded down into, there is a 'tidy' way to roll/secure the strap when the top is up. I've had T's in the past and used to know how this went, but old...

    Auction 9/29 - link to video

    http://vanderbrinkauctions.com/video.php?detail=119 The narrative has a few errors, but even so, it's worth a look. Seems to me there are a lot of collections of cars/parts being liquidated recently. If you like original cars and tons of parts, you will probably get a spike in your blood...

    We worked on the Phaeton yesterday, JM35Sedan, Verytangled and I. It was a tough day, and we're still in the process of making the swap. Here's what we've learned so far: Drilling an extra hole in the 37 Steering box seemed like an easy way to go, less modifications, more plug and play. So...

    Did Ford make a 2 door phaeton in '32?

    I do not believe the 2 door phaeton was made in 32 - but here is one listed for sale on consignment. http://www.leakecar.com/index.cfm?id=208&auc_code=TULSA12&lot=2458 Seems like the auction company should put in a disclaomer if it is a Model A Deluxe Phaeton made into a 32 There never was a...

    Budget Motel in Hiwassee

    My son and I like 'mom and pop' motels when attending national meets. We look for clean rooms with High Speed Internet. Low price is a factor, as it allows us to spend more on social events and souvenirs and flea market parts. So far we've done pretty well at locating budget priced...

    Nostalgic Video - VJ Day Hololulu

    A friend sent me this link, and I thought I'd pass it on. It's in color and has a nice 'spontaneous' feel. You'll see men women and cars celebrating the announcement of Japanese surrender. Several glimpses of cars we love, including a 40 Convertible with the top down and a 36 trunk back...

    36 Starter to oilpan bracket - Opinions requested

    I recently rebuilt the starter in my 36. The starter rebuilder did a good job and the starter works fine. My friend JM - who is very knowlegable about mid 30's v8's suggested I install the small angle bracket which goes between the top starter attaching bolt and the oil pan. Evidently on the...

    If I make a post, either here or in the classified section is it possible for the forum software to notify me by email when there is a response to my post/thread? Some other user groups have this facility, and I wondered if I am just overlooking it here or if it isn't possible. Thanks in...

    At the last part of the Saratoga Springs meet our starter gave out. Getting it out was pretty easy - we have a pit in the garage. My son was doing the actual wrenching while I 'supervised'. He loosened the two long bolts and the starter was loose, but in manipulating it to get the bendix...
