Hey guys, We are up here in Minneapolis, MN for the start of this year's Great Race. A fellow competitor urgently needs this driveshaft coupler. He can have a new driveshaft made but needs this 6 spline Model B coupler. If anyone can help send me an instant message. I will post a number to...

Hi guys. A good friend and I will be competing in The Great Race this June in a 29 Roadster. We have the car pretty much assembled but are in need of a nice set of 28-29 front fenders. Time is running very short so we are hoping to find 2 originals that don't need too much work. I am located...

Ok this isn't Model A specific, but I know some of you guys have experience with this. I have a 2wd Silverado 2500 that I tow my 24' enclosed trailer with. It tows great but the truck does squat a bit even with the trailer loaded properly. This year I will be doing 2 cross country trip with a...

Hi guys. The only thing left to rebuild on the 30 Coupe is the steering and front axel. I am in the process of repairing the front radius rod because the ball is severely worn. It is just a nub, about 60% of what it should be. I purchased a replacement ball from one of the good vendors. The...

2024 F. A.S.T. Southeast Hill Climb. Spindale, NC I wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming hill climb in Spindale, NC (about halfway between Charlotte and Asheville) next weekend. Looks like we will have good weather and are expecting a good turnout. We will have cars from all over...

I found this today. 1200 miles since rebuild, no leaks, car runs great. Snyder 5.5 head. It looks like the core of the head gasket is squeezing out at the rear. The copper is still in place. What causes this? Thoughts or suggestions? I am not excited about taking a freshly rebuilt engine...

This isn't Model A but still very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbowovVdYyE

Hey guys. I recently got a set of nicely restored original door handles to replace the reproduction ones on my coupe. Before I open the proverbial can of worms, what is the process for removal & installation? These are the 2 exterior door handles only. Do the door panels need to come off? Thx

Ok probably overthinking this but here goes: When setting the front brakes, the book says the lever should be set to 15 degrees forward. 15 degrees from what? Kingpin? Perpendicular to brake rod? Vertical? I can't find a reference but vertical would be almost impossible to achieve. Sent from...

Ok guys, I need help. I posted recently about damage to the rear axle housing. We unanimously agreed that it needed to be fixed before my upcoming parkway trip. I bought a repair sleeve and took the housing to a local machine shop. They really screwed things up.. Long story short, the...

In the process of doing the brakes for our upcoming Blue Ridge Parkway trip I found this pitting on the bottom of one side. This is the part of the housing the bearing rides on. How bad is this? Is it a definite no-go? Also the same side has a crappy looking axle and had a shim. The shim is...

My wife and I are planning a trip in the Model A in late September. We plan to take about 10 days to drive the entire length of the Parkway and maybe the Skyline too. I figure about 3 hours of driving per day with a few down days to do some hiking/sightseeing along the way. This will be BY...

My wife and I have never been to a MAFCA event and are considering going. So I have a few questions for you guys that have been in the past. The info online is very limited. What can we expect? Are certain days better or plan on all 5 days? Anything we shouldn't miss? Anything we should...

I keep hearing that on this forum and from guys in our local club. That's not what I see though! Example: A local car museum here in NC was liquidated last week. Nice private collection with about 100 cars. The owner passed away a while back and the family decided to close the place. They...

I just picked this up. It looks original to me but unsure of what it is from. Any ideas?

Anyone else go today? Did you find anything you needed? I went with a fairly long list and a wad of cash and struck out completely. Didn't find a single thing I was looking for.

Can someone please post or pm me a close up photo of this seat fabric for my. '30 coupe? Better yet does anybody have 4-5 yards they would sell? Thanks guys

Dripping from it actually. I just came back from a 50 mile drive after installing a rebuilt generator and there is almost a tablespoon of red wax that has run out of the bottom of the generator and dripped down on the splash pan. I can call Snyders next week but was curious if anyone here has...

It is this Saturday, Feb 26 in Spartanburg SC. Has anyone here been to this? Any model A stuff? Worth a 60 mile drive each way?

I'm having an issue with my front spring u-bolts: When I bought the car there were 2 different length u-bolts in place. The longer one fit well and the cotter pin went in place with the nuts tight. The other was shorter and the nuts barely went on all the way. No way to use cotter pins on...
