Due to the hard work and perseverance of many, the JS offers us a wealth of information re: finishes for most components of our projects. I don't wish to stir up a hornet’s nest but would like ‘opinions’ of the following products to approximate the finishes we are trying to replicate. *...

Purportedly the initial Model “A” pickup bed was a 'carry-over' from the late production Model ”T” ... doubt this was a direct carry-over. I would like to know the specifications of the “length, width, height” of the late (’27) Model “T” pickup bed. The Pickup Body (Bed) of my January ’28 Open...

“A-Tips” (Model A News (May-June, 2014) had an excellent safety suggestion for reflective safety tape. In order to use this idea, but not have the tape make direct contact with paint, stick reflective tape on strips of ‘magnetic tape’ (i.e. Home Depot). The magnet stays secure to the...

Raining … can’t play outside so am reviewing Judging Standards (Carpets and Mats) ... always new morsels of information:D. * Pg 11-1 Front Floor Covering states: “Black enamel, 2-piece metal grommet crimped onto the carpet to finish the hole for the gear shift housing” * Pg 11-4...

Recently received a box of ‘stuff’ from a friend. Amongst the treasures are what appear to be NOS spring perches:). However ... :( Comparing them to the RG&JS (pg 4-3; 2011), clearly they are not Style 1 (arched). While they are ‘straight neck’, other dimensions don’t compare well to...

I understand that wooden floor boards on open vehicles may have been originally been protected by a dealer-installed rubber “floor mat” placed over the wooden floor boards. However, my question concerns a weather seal around the gear shift housing tower on early open vehicles (this is NOT...

I plan on being in Ft Myers and Tampa/Clearwater area in February. Would much enjoy visiting with any ‘early’ ’28 guys willing to share their adventures. Of course a barn full of E’28 parts would be a fun adventure as well:D. Thanks.

Another cold day has 'forced' me to stay inside and digest the new RG/JS.:) First, THANK YOU to the many kind folks who invested time and fortune in the revision! Well Done and VERY Much Appreciated!:D I realize it was not a ‘change’ from the previous edition, but after closer inspection...

Don’t blame a guy for trying ... :) * The front floor mat for my Early 1928 vehicle is not being reproduced by current vendors. * Based on the factory drawing, I plan to ‘make’ a front floor mat (see example photo). * I plan to use the outside ‘frame’ (raised bead/flat area) of my current...

Too chilly to play in the garage and anxiously pacing the floor awaiting JS revisions … so have gone back to my files! Pg #38 of the Body Parts List shows an interesting item (at least to me) … “(A-42330) CONTAINER (TOP CURTAIN) ASSY.” I have never heard of/seen this item ... can...

Anyone made a protective cover to slip over the ‘28 style headlights to guard them while vehicle is in storage? Photos would be helpful. Im envisioning a bag/Velcro fastener made of quilted (padded) material with possibly heavy cardboard over the glass lens. I have the scarce fluted lenses...

Have pair of original VA tags w/ original paint. Both colors (black background, orange letters/numbers) are moderately faded. Would appreciate suggestions how to best rejuvenate these plates. Really prefer not to repaint them rather something to enhance the existing colors.

Visiting Sedona, AZ Nov 6-11. Would like to connect with Model A folks (need a few "early ‘28" parts). Thanks!

Have a set (4) original shock links. Took a lot of kroil/breaker bar strength to remove the end plugs. Would like to ‘chase’ the threads inside the open end of the links before replacing the plugs (may use repros as the slots in the originals are now pretty buggered up). Can someone please...
