Anyone know the real reason behind the name change after so many years? I know what the article says, but usually there is more to the story than what a Director may state. http://www.13abc.com/content/news/Henry-Ford-Museum-changing-its-name--411533405.html I worked for a state government...

I noticed that Takata just got fined 1 billion for faulty air bags. I was checking mine and I am worried that it may be faulty, but I am not certain that it is original equipment or not as the car has had a few previous owners before me in the past. I am hoping to be part of the settlement as...

This is a bit difficult to explain so I hope you understand what i am asking: I have an OFF and ON ignition switch plate which I am replacing on my '30 ccpu. The original one was missing when I got the truck so I got a replacement. The old dash was powder coated as it was in sad shape and this...

Not sure how to embed the video, but here is a link. This was a new one to me and I had not heard of or seen it done. My Dad was a mechanic and I don't recall him ever doing this, either. You learn somepin' new every day, huh? https://youtu.be/KFdFsfSAuyc Neat trick. Had a fellow say he does...

The ferrules to the lights and horn seem to be loose on my light bucket. They twist okay into the slots, but are still loose. I have tried 3 different sets of conduits, but each is a bit loose where they attach at the lower end of the buckets. Is there a way to tighten them without distorting...

I found this one in a thrift store a few years back and I enjoy it a lot. Not sure what the car or plane actually are, but it matters little to me, as I just enjoy the print hanging on my wall.

My truck horn didn't have the horn cover in place when I bought it. The horn was sent off to convert to 12v system. However, in all of the photos I have, I don't seem to have any photo of how the conduit is actually held in place at the horn cover. I have not found any particular writing on the...

Question: Is the lower seat springs for an 82-b, '30 Model A Ford ccpu the same as a Model A coupe for that year? Anything else besides just a coupe? I have always thought the pickup I have has had a replacement done on the lower seat springs because it sticks out so far from the seat riser...

Someone posted some photos of the inner parts of a light switch body that they had taken apart. I can't seem to find the thread with the original photos of such posted so I'll repost them in this thread. My question is, how do you disassemble these parts from the actual housing body? Yes, how...

I put my trim ring into place the other day and I don't really want to remove it again to look over the gas gauge assembly itself. I have some real trouble in reading it at times, as it is just too light on the lettering to satisfy me. I have been thinking of either powder coating it on the...

I am going to be replacing this harness. I have looked at the Andrews book and although it identifies the color coding of each wire in the loom, it really does not give instructions as to how to best replace the entire loom. I have never had to do this before, so i am just wanting some pointers...

I wanted to raise my front end to do some specific projects on my 1930 Model A pickup. I wanted to put some ramps beneath the two front tires and can't drive it up on them as i have the wiring out at the moment. I am not so sure the jack stands I have would work beneath the car with it up on...

I just opened up a brand new pair of headlight conduits with the horn conduit included. It has been sitting inside a plastic bin for a couple of months and has not been damaged there when stored. However, when I inserted the new wiring harness into it at the driver's side loom, the thing...

I am looking for an original hand-held windshield wiper bracket for my 1930 Model A, 82-b, ccpu. If you have one for sale, please let me know as to cost and shipping fees to: James Huey 101 Thompson Drive, Ada, Oklahoma 74820 Let me know if you will accept PayPal, check or postal money...

I recently posted a "wanted" notice at the Swap Meet section for a part I needed. I got several replies, but I am wanting to know how to remove the post after the objective is reached? I ended up editing my "wanted" message, but that didn't remove the notice on the board. I am probably going...

I want to remove the chrome trim ring to this ammeter gauge for a trial at powder coating that ring. I am afraid that the gauge itself would not stand up to the heat curing process and that it is just too much trouble to tape all the parts off for it to be coated properly and not get powder into...

Unfortunately, the photos probably don't show the dents as well as I'd like, but I have one headlight bucket which has a couple of dents and dings in it. The worst dent just does snot show up well in photos. What is the best method to remove them? They will be blacked out and not re-chromed...

I picked up this carb yesterday and I didn't see any numbers or writing on it. Maybe I missed them as I have glasses on order and my sight ain't as sharp as it used to be. Any rate, I am not a carb expert so I am asking if someone can easily identify it. The thing needs cleaning for sure. Not...

Not sure how to remove this post once the wanted item is found/purchased, but I had several replies to the original post and I have contacted the individuals to arrange purchase of the part I had needed. Thanks for the info supplied by each of them. I now have a source for the part I wanted so...

I have a repo Sparton horn which was recently reconditioned for me. It is not an original, but it now works for my 12v system in my '30 pickup. My question is about how to replace the screen into the trumpet portion of the horn and not misalign it, deform it or bend it up as it is inserted back...
