OK...this is not strickly a Model A question, but: If you could only afford to attend one national concours in 2015, which one would it be? I don't mean the annual Model A meets, those go without saying, I'm talking Pebble Beach or Amelia Island and places like that. Some place you would see...

OK, some of these are obviously not Model A's but pretty cool anyway. I guess I don

A recent thread on buying a new Model A suggested looking at Bob Johnson's What's it Worth page. Anyone have a link for this? Google didn't help me. :confused:

Anyone ever convert their suspension to Underslung? How? Pro's, con's?

I just made an offer on a 30 roadster. It's just parts and pieces, but looks like a good start for a speedster or a station wagon. Did anyone ever come up with blueprints for a woody station wagon? I know you can buy the complete body, but I have a table saw, a router or two, and a fair...

Anyone watch this TV show this week? One of the regulars bought a 29 Model a with a home built wood body. It looked well done, but apparently the producers wanted it to look like he got a great deal, so they wrapped half the body in duct tape, wrapped the hub caps, and the grill shell and cap...

Even though I haven't finished the MGBGT or done anything to the "new" 31 Model A, I have a lust for a 32-46 Ford pickup. I'm looking for a "driver" I can use and finish up with a rolling restoration. Maybe someone's project that still lacks the paint and body work, or the driver you want to...

I haven't even titled and registerd the 31 SW yet, but I've found a project 1931 Pickup on Craig's list locally. They are asking $4500 but I'm waiting to find out if it even has an engine in it. Assuming no engine...how does that price sound? Also, I was just reading some older threads and...

Just saw a slant window in another post with a visor and I want one! Are they available from the usual suspects? Difficult to install? Anyone have an opinion on the pluses and minues of the visor? :confused:

I plan to convert to 12 volt negative ground and an alternator. Has anyone used one of the alternators in a generator case? http://www.powermastermotorsports.com/PowerGEN.pdf I like the look of original, but want what I consider an upgrade to 12v and alternator.

How far back does the tail pipe go? Mine stops just over the rear axle. I assume it goes straight back to the rear....just past the bumper? :confused:

With the help of the barn I learned how to start the A again and took it for another shake down run around the neighborhood. Now that it's starting and running I have more issues. I can hear a clicking sound...doesn't sound like what I remember rods knocking sounds like. I did the wooden...

I just had new tires mounted and have one left to install. I noticed what appears to be cracks in the hub. Is this serious? Is there a repair for this? Or, should I just buy another wheel, or check my other wheels (dual side mount) for cracks and change the tire out? :confused:

After installing the new bendix and replacing the starter, I am having a problem getting the A started. I think I'm following the right procedure: Emergency brake on Transmission in neutral Fuel lever under hood pointing out to engine (31 Slant Windshield) Key turned on...pops out GAV turned...

I looked for my previous post but could not find it. I removed the starter today and found the problem. The spring on the bendix is broken. I came in to order one and see there is the original type and the new modern version. Any opinions as to which is best or advantages/disadvantages of...

OK...get ready to laugh at the newbie. I tried taking the 31 SWTS out of the garage this morning...getting ready to change out the tires. After maybe five minutes of trying off and on to start it...the starter quit turning the engine over and when I press the starter switch it sounds like the...

I like the look of the 32-34 wheels. Is there any advantage, disadvantage to putting these on my 1931 Town Sedan? I'm going to need a complete set of tires, and will want the old wheels painted or powdercoated, so if I decide to go with the 32 wheels and tires, now is the time for me to...

I finally introduced my wife to the car Saturday, and she accepted it into the family after a drive around the neighborhood. Piddling with it Saturday I have found some issues and hope the group can help me. 1. I'm 6 foot and a bit overweight, so getting in is a bit difficult. I found the...

I managed to snap off the handle for the seat adjustment in my first five minutes in the car when it arrived today. Anyone got one for sale? Robert Houston

I just completed the paperwork for Grundy collector car insurance for my new 31 Town Sedan. It's due to arrive at 0900 tomorrow morning! I had looked into Haggerty and another company reccomended by the company that insures my other cars, but the VIN plate guy sent me a Grundy brochure so I...
