Bought an axle to replace the one bent years ago in a towing mishap (which hits the apron). Any thoughts?

Anyone ever have stainless steel lug nuts rust? Bought 26 from (a vendor) and they came in the raw, unpolished state. Buffed them up on the ragwheel til they looked like new chrome and installed them all. About a week or two later, just from air moisture, they turned cloudy and a number of...

I have a set of the $6.00 clamps on now and the tabs have "bottomed out" (won't tighten anymore) on themselves and I've developed a leak. I see Bratton's sells a set for 28 bucks supposedly "original gauge". Since I don't know if I've ever seen an original set I cannot tell how much stronger...

Which seller has the most authentic spare tire covers? I got some from a certain supplier and am not overly impressed. They're well made enough, but look nothing like the 30s era ones I've seen. These are smooth Naugahyde--no pattern...looks like a bar stool cover. Maybe they're all the same...

Brought the ol' girl out to the daughter's Social Studies class today. They're learning about life in the 20s-30s. Every kid had to get inside and there were lots of good questions. Fun time.

Anyone have any idea about how to separate the tumbler portion of a popout switch from the locking portion? I'm talking about once the tumbler/contact portion is removed from the main body (which is achieved by loosening a setscrew). I was wanting to re-plate the popout and the keyhole cover...

I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer. Can anyone tell me definitively whether I have a 28/29 or a 30/31 popout here? Markings: Electrolock, Phila, PA Basco A965 Thanks in advance! Steve

Auto wrecks from the teens through the 50s. Assignment: find all the Model As in the photos...only about 900 or so. http://www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/sets/72157626646768526/with/5687691584/

Found this in the stuff my dad had collected around the time he bought the '29 in the avatar. Volume 16, Issue 4 Nov./Dec. 1971. Real nice issue on Town Sedans, even a pic and a blurb of a Les Andrews posing with his 29. I think he may have written a book or something about these cars...

My dad seems to remember this part coming off his 1929 Murray TS. It's nothing I think I have seen before and don't think it's Model A. What say you?

A little old, but I thought a well done piece on our local news here in Duluth. http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/news/local/Old-Ford-Fans-Stop-In-Duluth-159370485.html Steve

Has anyone else had the issue wherein the headlights dim randomly. I assume it is a loose connection somewhere, but I just finished the resto so the harness is freshly installed and new. Also no taillight when they flicker to dim. Honestly haven't spent much time trying to figure it out yet...

After reading the numerous posts about the potential failure of the original steel fan I was persuaded to order the one-piece aluminum; this one from Snyder's. Question is: Anyone else have close clearance between the new fan and the inlet pipe on the radiator? I had to add shims to my...

Any surefire way to shine them up? Mine were restored in the 70s and were wrapped in newspaper and got some spotting and white rust on them. Not going to replace them again. Tried rubbing compound. Tried light sanding/steel wool. Thanks, Steve

Found this on a tour of the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington DC. Thought some of you might be interested.

I swear I have seen this topic before here, but I'll be darned if I can find it again: I have a 29 Murray TS and the hood sits lower (steps down) than the top of the cowl by about 3/16". I see no way of adjusting this. I read here (I'm sure it was here) that the Town Sedans used a thicker...

Just finished a good book from a local Minnesota author about his life in the Northwoods and a 1930 Model A pickup. The author learned to drive on the truck, grew up with it, and used it constantly in his pursuits in the Great Outdoors. Not a long read, cheap on Amazon, and a story of how a...
