I bought an early (mid April) Model A Sport coupe a couple of months ago. I just started looking it over. I have had several A's in the past, but nothing like the braking system on this car. No emergency brake band, and only one rod per back wheel. How do I get the top half off the cross shaft...

I just Moved back to Minnesota from the great state of CA. We lived in Pioneer for 5 years -- without a Model A, I started getting the shakes and found I needed a Model A again. A friend had one in his shed: an early April Sport Coupe, 50,000 miles and very complete. The question is, where can...

Good morning! I am still in the process of trying to pick a late 31 Standard Roadster color, I've narrowed the choices to Black, Brewster green, Dark Ford Maroon, when my lady walked behind me, poked a finger on the monitor and said "There, that one" I was looking at Marco's site when she...

I have restored a couple of Model A's and a Model T roadster; it is embarassing to me to have someone look under the hood of my nicely restored "A" and see an alternator -- every other nut and bolt correctly finished. I had given up, starters run forever, horns no problem, I can build almost...

I want to build a couple of Model A engines, I have the KR Wilson main set-up ands have done many engines with good results. It takes me 9 hours to do a babbitt job from start to finish, I have always thought about doing inserts to save time with the reliability and convenience of having the...

I'm heading to California the end of June for about a month, I'm puting the Harley in the back of my pickup and touring. The reason for the post is: I have seen over the years all the great photos of CA. swapmeets. Is there anything going on of interest to a Model A nut, swap-meets especially...

A while ago there was a thread about unusual uses for Model A's. A friend of mine from northern Wisconsin told me of a 29 Tudor his family has that is used for an ice fishing shack! The thing has a wood-burning stove and the seats are on a swivel, the rear floor has two holes to fish through...

I will apologize in advance for the misspellings; I wear a 17 ring and the didgets don't always fit in the space provided. I have read that the gas tank welt is/is not painted, which is correct? If the tank is painted first how the heck do you get it back in the car without damage to the paint...

I have a good pair of 1930 fenders: can I take the front piece of splash apron off and use them on a 1931? Thanks, E LaBrash

3M makes a product called Brushable Seam Sealer, although it's thicker than toothpaste. I have used it on a couple of repairables over the years, it works well when replacing body pannels because it remains flexible but is very strong. I want to use it on the "new" roadster body to help make it...

I have been working on a Roadster project that is in need of an engine. I have a AA truck with a Diamond engine I bought from Northern Minnesota where it sat parked out in the weather since 1966. The rusted engine looked typical for this area (rusty), I pulled the plugs (with difficulty) and...

OK, one more time: If the guys from "Up Norf" can do it I should be able to post photos -- right? Those guys like Tom, Preacher, and others from TCMAFC, (OK, I belong to that club too) live 100 miles to the north where it's a lot colder and the winters are long so all they have to do is work on...

Good morning Fordbarners! Hey, I'm well pleased with the "New Fordbarn" it looks like even I can post photos -- even spell-check, font, pitch, and color change! Here goes a photo attempt: --- OK, well I might have to rethink the easy part. I have a new Brookville Roadster body that I bought from...
