Having started on this old gentleman something over fifty years ago, I've concluded that it is probably time to finish the restoration of our 1923 Touring Car while I still have at least a hope of one day finishing it. I've had quite a few Model A's over the years, but this is the only Model T...

Years ago I started on a restoration of a 1923 Touring. I'm finally getting to a point where I am ready to deal with the steering column and have a couple of "finish" questions. Are either the gear box (cover and/or base) and/or the spark and gas levers plated? Thanks in advance for any...

Hoping to find a few parts to finish our restoration: For 1923 Touring: Steering column Fender brackets (looking to put new Rootlieb fenders on, but will need the fender brackets for mounting). Any parts or even leads are most appreciated.

We just learned a little bit ago that we have lost another Model A friend - Ray Besch of Peachtree City GA. Ray was instrumental in helping us to revive what is now known as the "Southside A's" (MARC & MAFCA), and served as Director for a couple of years as well as starting the club newsletter...

Greetings to all - I usually follow the Model A forums moreso than the Model T, since we have several Model A's but only the one Model T. My wife and I are thinking that we may try to begin the upholstery process on our 1923 Touring after the first of the year. I thought that I might order...

I came across this link a few minutes ago, and thought that I would share it with my friends here on Fordbarn. The Southside A's hosted its first Model A Spring Tour back in June, and were pleased to have members of several clubs to join us from two other states as well as Georgia. Mark Corley...

Does anyone offer a new radiator with "dimpled fins" as was original to 30-31 cars? Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.

Good evening Friends - After seeing the post below and reading the directions (again) about how to post pictures, I thought I would try it again. If this goes through, these are pictures of our latest project.

We are entering the final stages of completing our 68C slant windshield cabriolet, and although I am not looking toward building a "points car", I would appreciate help on trying to obtain some thoughts on some of final finish details on the upholstery. Any thoughts, advice, direction, etc...

If my understanding is correct, all of the metal bracing and trim pieces that were used on 1929 station wagons was painted black? If indeed that is a true statement, then I would therefore presume that this would also include the front door hinges, to include the driver’s side with the...

We lost another good friend on Christmas morning - Jim Johnston of Newnan, Georgia. I have known Jim and his wife, Jackie, for roughly 15 years, and always enjoyed their company and friendship on Model A outings. Jim and Jackie were especially kind to my oldest daughter when she was first...

Hello all - I have a friend who is looking for a nice, straight windshield Town Sedan that would make for a nice tour car. I say Town Sedan because he has mentioned that he has a preference for a car with a rear center arm rest and the two outer arm rests. He is an older gentleman, so I...

Its been a while since I disassembled the vacuum line on our old 68-C before starting its restoration. Forgetful as I am, I'm now wondering how everything went back together. I've purchased a new rubber hose vacuum line that I'm thinking ran under the windshield up to the wiper on the...

Greetings. I'm hopeful that someone here can recommend a good installer for the top for our 68C Cabriolet, preferably somewhere near the Atlanta area or at least in the southeast. I got a top kit from Mike at Classtique a while back, but it is my understanding that these are somewhat tricky to...

I am looking to install stainless tire bands and face plates on my 68C, but do not want to scratch the face plates or the fender in the process of installing these. I spoke with a friend who has these on his A400, and he suggested that it would be best to involve a second pair of hands and...

Hello Friends, and best wishes to all for a Merry and Meaningful Christmas. I started pulling my 68C Cabriolet apart last week, and there are several items that I have model-specific questions and/or source questions about: 1. Is there a source for the replacement rubber...

The last few cars that I have restored I have used Performance Coatings in Jonesboro to powder coat wheels, chassis parts, etc. I called them a few minutes ago to check on their current pricing for wheels, and was quoted $100/wheel with me supplying the powder. Would anyone be able to...

I am hopeful of being able to start the restoration process on our '31 Cabriolet 68-C after the first of the year, and would like to begin to gather model-specific parts and pieces for that process. I had planned to powder coat the wheels on this old gentleman, but understand that...

I received a phone call the other evening from a friend who is hoping to find a running Model A engine. From my understanding, he would like to find one (not a fresh, rebuilt one) without any major issues - apparently this is for an older, unrestored car that is intended to be driven only for...

I was looking through Craig's List here in Atlanta for a Model T truck for a friend, and came across the following listing. I know nothing about this car and am not in any way making any endorsement (other than it appears to be a fairly nice start from the pictures) for a 1930 Cabriolet. If I...
