    1930's Ford Tasteful Upgrades for Safety and Reliability

    Came across this really cool video about some upgrades. Thought some on here might like some of his ideas, or may want to critique. He has quite a few very helpful videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v5SgI64GGk

    Wiper Motors Gotta' Go

    Does anyone rebuild wiper motors anymore? I've got a huge mass of these things, and need to get rid of them. Lots of miscellaneous parts that need moved. Some of them super cheap for a person who can and will actually put them back into service. Sorry for the crappy photos. They were up...

    Engine Break In

    This came up in another thread, but thought it deserved a wider audience, as it applies to much more than the scope of that thread. This is a comprehensive post about break in. Ring seal is BIG. Lake Speed from Total Seal is an oil specialist and piston ring guy. Excellent resource. Break In...

    Model A Steering Gear/Column Weirdness and Question

    This past spring, I gathered up the remaining parts dad had stashed in Florida, and brought them back up here to WV. One item is what looks to be a new steering gear/column. I'm not familiar with these, and when I was pulling it from the rafters and lowering it down to the floor, under it's...

    1929 Model A NOS STEERING WHEEL!

    Took some more pics of the wheel mentioned in the Model A section. It has '61' embossed on the rear towards the center. A couple very, very minor cracks on the inside of the grip you have to look for in order to see. (last pic) Steering wheel has had no significant cleaning, and no...

    Steering Wheel

    I've got a few 'A' parts still hanging around. One is this NOS Steering Wheel. Never been mounted, no cracks, etc. Great shape. Any clue what kind of value this would have? Dad probably picked it up 50-60 years ago. I don't know of any others around to even compare values with. Yea, it's...

    Thinking about selling the '34 Phaeton

    There isn't really anyone where I live that is into these cars... so there's nobody to 'play' with. When dad had it in Florida, the car... especially being a 'driver' it was a blast! Here, it's just not the same. I installed a new Optima battery last weekend, and it runs/drives great...

    1935 Cabriolet

    Looking for the person I sold dad's 1935 Ford Cabriolet to. I can picture your face, but cannot remember your name! He's a snowbird who goes back and forth between Daytona and Vermont, I believe. If you're the person who bought it, or knows who it is, get back with me. There's someone...

    My 1935 Cabriolet in "HEMMINGS CLASSIC CAR"

    I have to brag a little bit on my '35 Cabriolet. It is featured in the May 2015 issue of "HEMMINGS CLASSIC CAR". It is featured, not because it is a mintly restored car, but because it is a rare survivor. If you are in the store, thumbing through magazines, check out pages 44,45,46 & 47. MIKE :)...
