Wanted to start a poll to see who would want to get Ryan some coffee, or a Chai or tea. Please choose, this will close in 7 days Dave

Ryan; Is there a way to do a poll like on the old FB? Dave

Just a couple of questions. 1. I have seen Model A Owners have the 'shadow-box' style of toolbox to display all the old tools for the Model A (Jack, Grease Gun, etc) - does anyone have dimensions or drawings on how to construct said box? 2. Front Bumper seat. Made out of wood and...

Good day to the fine people at the Barn. I have a couple of questions that I need to answer. 1. I did an R/R on my clutch and pressure plate. 2. Reassembled it all. During reassembly I want to replace parts on the shaft that holds the clutch and brake pedal. I know one is a drift pin...

Just a friendly heads-up. The registration period for the 2026 Old Car Festival is open now. Last year the slots filled up in 5 days. Also who will be coming from the Barn and what are you bringing this year.

Guys, not going to give too much away on the series, but in the era (1927-1935) in regard to the Model-A, were there things like Stone Guards, Luggage Racks that fold up like we do in modern times? Also did the original A come with outside mirrors on both sides? My gut says no. Want the...

Just a thread to put the Oopsie Daisy stuff in. Can't say I have done any oops, yet but this year is Clutch/Pressure Plate and throw-out bearing. Might be coming up soon!:D

Guys/Gals here at the 'Barn'. I am thinking about repainting my 1929 Model A back to her original colors. I don't have a paint booth, and it is kept 'offsite' in a storage location. I have spray painted using a 'Hazard Freight' sprayer, and of course the rattle cans. How hard is it to...

Good day to all here at the barn. I have a question that hopefully can be answered. A year or so ago, I had the infamous 'Death Wobble' in my 'A'. I proceeded to install new King Pins, Bushings, etc. That resolved the major Wobble. Now recently it has returned. I am assuming this has to do...

Guys/Gals: I have my 1929 Tudor, and for the life of me I have not been able to get my Vacuum wiper to function. When it does, it is hit-or-miss. How difficult is it to repair, and better still replace. I don't have the tools to disassemble my existing wiper. Thanks! Dave

Greetings to all, this one is directed towards Bob Bionde in regards to doing the cowl lacing on my 1929. I am unsure of how to do it and wondered if you had either a slide or video on how to install it. Dave

Greetings to all. Need to know if i can use heat from a torch to get the old studs out so I can use the new ones that look like studs but are bolts... Dave

Greetings all, I am putting in my new water pump and I got the new studs. Can I use heat to remove the old ones... Dave

Good day to all the members. I am having an issue with my left-rear service brake on my A. The actuating shaft/lever is extremely hard to move. Should this be easy movement or stiff. It is causing the brake pedal to not return to normal position. Also when I apply the brakes it takes a lot...

Has anyone seen Dave as of late? haven't seen the cool pictures he usually posts.

Question to the group here. I am planning on getting the cast drums for my car. My question is, where/how do I get the lugs swedged into the new drums/hubs. I do not have a press, nor do I have access to one that I can think of. Could I possibly order from my normal supplier (Snyders) and...

Guys/Gals: I am going to be replacing the clutch and pressure plate here in the next month or so. I have already gotten all the parts, Including the spring spreader from Snyders. My question to the group, is how do you attach the spreader to the rear end so I can get the bolts out of...

Just a quick poll to see how many are attending the 2025 Old Car Festival at The Henry Ford in Dearborn Michigan.

Greetings Barn Members, need some help in attaching Snyder's disconnect switch bracket to the starter. Not sure how it goes in. Does anyone have a picture or a document to follow? Getting tired of disconnecting the battery each time. Thanks! Dave

Hey folks, I had already ordered my 2-Blade fan. Today I ordered the leakless water pump and the mounting kit. Question to the folks here, I can put the Fan and Water Pump together and then mount the pump to the block w/o having to do too much tear apart with the radiator. Just pull it...
