Closed cab pick-up, 1930. 12 volt system, turn signals, 35 Ford wheels with 16 inch radial tires. This is a very reliable, good running Model A and has been my daily driver the past several summers. Frame up restoration that starts, stops, steers and runs reliably. The logo on the doors is a...

Hershey spaces. For the first time in 40 years I am not able to attend Hershey. Hershey is a great place for a swap meet but at 82 1/2 Years old it is too far from Peoria for a medical emergency. My Hershey Spaces are for sale, I have 6 corner spaces just inside the south gate to the...

You know, the kind that make a horrible noise when stopping at low speed. My pick-up makes that shuddering sound when the brake is applied lightly at low speed while making a slight turn either forward or reverse. Other than the sound the brakes work very well on the all stock system. It has...

Rainmaker Remedy to free small fasteners locked in place by rust or corrosion. In my case the small Allen screw used to lock a 29 Quail in place could not be moved after 2 days of soaking with several penetrants. Heat was next but how? I set my battery charger on 12 volt high boost, clamped...

Customer, friend and good ole Model A guy taken from us by a brain tumor. We will miss you Jim. Rainmaker

I posted a picture of this tag some years ago after finding it hanging on the choke rod of a low mileage 1930 grain truck. Last week a customer brought me a 28 express that had the same tag hanging on the choke rod. Does anyone know the history of such a tag? I have never ran across any mention...

Still sorting out a large quanity of Model A bolts. I have a pretty complete Model A library but don't know where to find the identity of various bolts. Has anyone gone through this drill? Any and all help welcome. Rainmaker

There is not much room for "stuff" in a pick up so I added a package tray. The tray is made from part of a white vinyl rain gutter so you gotta squint to see it in this picture because the truck is white also. The tray is only 2 1/2 inches wide but holds more than you might imagine and is real...

11/23/2012 X-31 Engine swap I am in the process of swapping back to the matching number engine in the X-31. I have been running the highly modified G-28 German engine for the past 9 years. Bill Stipe built my G-28 and squeezed 97 horsepower from it on the dyno. It has been a great run...
