I tend to skirt the line here a bit with one of My A's. My roadster while still a 4cyl flathead and OEM transmission-it is fenderless and has some period "go fast parts" winfield head,intake and carb. It's all A though, but I call it my hotrod and I want it to drive as "A" as possible. I try to...

Does anyone know where I might find a template to make a tack rail for my Roadster. I started trying to make one but honestly I'm unimpressed with my result. I know these wooden pieces are available to purchase, but I'm looking to make something a little more unique.

My 30 coupe started getting a little loud, I opted to leave it parked for about a month before I got the itch to dive and see what was wrong. I was hoping it was a shim that needed to be taken up. Well I drained the oil and dropped the pan and was met with some not so friendly chunks of metal in...

I'm finishing up some body work on my 30 Roadsters quarter panels and finalizing the various radii on the front sections of the rear panels. Am I ok to assume that the radii of a coupe and roadster should be the same? I haven't been able to find any measurements for the exact shape of these...

I already know pictures would have helped with this. But didn't cross my mind at the time. I recently purchased a rumble lid off a restored car, Looked good,gent I bought it from told me his story of how he got the car and how he wanted a trunk. I wanted the rumble and he lived very locally so...

I'm a little confused, occasionally when I mistakenly leave the fuelcock in the on position when running into a store or similar short trip my 30 RPU won't run properly- Bucking and hesitating. I can get the truck to idle find and start without issue but any throttle and the engine tries to...

Has anyone found a set of knobby tires for 32 Ford Wheels? I have a 30/31 Doodlebug that from the little history I have on the vehicle last had USED tires installed in 1969. They are ROCK solid. They are more like hard plastic than rubber at this point. It mostly used now for picking apples and...

After reskinning my Driver door I started the repairs to my Pass Door (bullet holes etc) I removed the skin and found much of the inner door brazed or rusted away. It looks like I'll need an inner door. I don't believe any of the vendor carry just the inner but thats what I'm looking for, since...

I currently have mismatched tail light lens, one has a light yellow stop lens the other has a darker amber lens. I'm hoping to find another dark Amber lens. The normal repop dealers only seem to have the light yellow lens.

As the title says, I am looking for a hand held Planishing Hammer. I'd prefer a good used on to a new Cheaper one.

Looking for useable rear drums for hydraulic brake conversion on an A' I bought complete drums and backing plate from a 'gentleman' who said they would bolt on as is .Only to discover one is cracked and the other is to far worn to be worth usuing. Live on Long Island, Frequently in NJ and...

With the idle adjustment screw backed as far as it will go, my engine is still idling a tad high. I recently retimed and re adjusted points but no change. The car runs fine and doesn't seem short on power,doesn't pop or hesitate like a vacuum leak. It's bit more of a crash going into first...

I'm currently building my version of show car roadster. Hopped up 4 Cylinder, original driveline, fancy paint that I keep chipping AND Hydraulic brakes. Yes yes. I know, most say the original brakes will suffice. yes I agree,on a stock car they are just fine. But It's fitted with bigger...

I'm fitting hydraulic drums to my 30' model a . The fronts are sorted. I'm having trouble with the rear though. 3 of the drums look the same, the forth I didnt realize when purchased, doesn't look the same as the others and I'm having trouble fitting it over the shoes. I understand theres 2...

Early last year I purchased a ford Model a "doodle bug" of sorts. The wheels are from 33/34 ford. While tending to the brakes I noticed that some of this ancient tires are 17 and some are 17.5. The story from the gentleman I bought it from said these were used tires already when they were put...

My Friend did a 12V Negative ground kit conversion in his 31' RPU(not sure of the make)he is now shredding belts. I know this is a common issue, can anyone point me in the direction of a thread that might have addressed this problem? It looks well aligned. I do have concern this belt is being...

It seems I've neglected to find hardware for my tranmission bellhouse. Can someone clue me in to the the bolt size? Is this a specific Ford hardware?

Looking for 15 in 4 slots rims 5x5.5. Hopefully in the New York Metro Area Thanks

This has been addressed a million times. And yet here I am. About a year ago I purchased a "doodlebug". As you can imagine this probably hasn't had an easy life. When I got it it had barely any front brakes and had no backing plates in the rear. I swapped in a new rear axle and brakes. And am...
