Does anyone know which rear bumper bracket is correct for a late '31 180-A? I have looked in my original Ford parts book and can't seem to find a match. I've reached out to a few owners with mixed results. If anyone has a car with known original brackets and they'd be willing to take a few...

I want to thank the Worcester County Model "A" Club for hosting this years New England Model "A" Meet. It was extremely well run, the tour and overall venue were spectacular and luckily the weather cooperated. I believe this was the first time this club hosted the meet and they really "knocked...

We have a fellow in the local club who is looking to have some restoration work done on his car. He is not planning on any fine point judging.

Looking for a nice, straight pair of '31 rear bumper brackets with rounded ends. Not too concerned about the "T" bracket as I can change that. Also want a late '31 bumper cross brace with reinforcement lugs. Call or text 508-431-6252 or email at massautoregister@yahoo.com

I have a club members car in for some brake work and his rear hubs and drums are shot. Does anyone have any experience with the "new" reproduction hub/drum assemblies carried by some of the big suppliers? I am particularly interested in fit, function and if anyone has inspected one after it has...

I've been trying to contact Travis M Cook of "A" Springs in CT. His website is down and his phone number (860-233-3557) no longer works. Does anyone know what happened to him and possibly have current contact info? He has always been the "go to" guy for Model "A" springs and shackle bushings.

Getting ready to do a clutch swap on my "A" and wondering what everyone is recommending for a throw out bearing? Seems like there is a myriad of choices. Looking for a suggestion on bearing brand and supplier. Recent experience with your chosen bearing would be great as well. Many thanks.

I'm trying to complete my set of 180-A Group newsletters to aid in the restoration of my 180-A. I have copies of the 2014-2022 newsletters but seek the earlier versions (they began around 2000 from what I can gather). Electronic or printed copies would be fine and I'm happy to compensate anyone...

Been waiting on an aluminum fan. I was on the waiting list. Got an email at 3 pm that they were back in stock. It was 6 pm before I saw the email and got on my computer. Gone. All gone. Wow. I wonder if there is any way to pre-order and pay for one in advance?

I have a car in my shop now that needs a set of shock absorbers. The customer wants to go with repro shocks. Does anyone here have any experience with the current offerings from Snyder's and Bratton's?

I'm looking for 180-A Club Newsletters prior to 2012. Electronic format would be perfect, but hard copies are fine as well. I'm willing to compensate reasonably for these. Let me know what you have. Call or text, Tim 508-431-6252

I have a choice 31 Eaton radiator cap, but it is unusable because the inside steel portion rotates within the stainless shell. Does anyone know of a reliable way to fix this?

I'm looking to have some stainless on my car restored. Most of the guys who were doing this 'back in the day' have now retired or passed on. Who is doing a nice job on "A" stainless now?

I'm currently refreshing an older restoration of a 180-A. I find myself in need of a deluxe windshield frame. The car will not be entered in fine point judging so I'm planning on using a reproduction windshield frame. I'll buy a frame in the raw, drill the holes for the snaps and have it chrome...

I'm preparing to rebuild my Model "A" transmission and am gathering up needed items. I've read with concern some of the older posts stating how some of the newer 7118 and 7121 bearings from suppliers are prone to early failure due in part to a change in design. As I understand it, the old...
