Hello Fellow Oogers : Now that my car is legal to drive and I can begin some shake down cruises ,I have been thinking about how to make an emergency electrical circuit. Even though this car is all original, I would like to be able to make some small drives, at...

Hello fellow Oogers, well I thought I'd post an update since its been a long while,starting with a picture of this sweet little Canadian Tudor I found a couple years ago, she's still looking pretty good for 90 years old, IMHO! I call her Miss Alida since thats where she came from ( a museum in...

Hello A Gang; Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, I have been extremely busy. I have written and recorded a silly little Model A Ford song, nothing fantastic but some might get a smile out of it, I am offering it free to anyone on Fordbarn or Ahooga sort of as a thank you to all the many...

Hello A Gang, yes I am still alive and kicking! ( I was just lost in the archives looking up info, ha ha!) So I cannot find any info on the Ford script that is stamped on the top of headlights, I personally have seen quite a few variations of it, basically a deep stamp, a light stamp, a wide...

Hello A Gang; I've been buffing on the Tudor all week, but so far I've not been able to take down a single stray aircraft, or blind any of the neighbors kids, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks,Kev.

Hello A Gang ; I apologize for this fuzzy picture of my neighbors garage... ...but it kept popping up in every picture of my Tudor!!!! Kev

Hello A Gang; More trivia; There is a vacuume fitting at the firewall that is seen in this archive picture that Marco and probably others have often posted, I have blown it up and circled the fitting in red.This picture shows the nut facing the motor side, but the JS does not say which way it...

Hello A Gang; Ok more questions please, I am trying to figure out the finish for the sediment bowl to dash mounting nut for a summer 1930 Tudor ( the big nut above PS feet area holding it on) and also the lockwasher ; I cannot spot this in the JS anywhere. I do see the nut listed...

Hello A gang; I have a couple questions please; first regarding the gas gauge; I've been reading the archives but cannot find an answer to this : Does anyone know if the original paint on the gas gauge numerals would resist modern gas? Mine is in great shape, I'd love to re-use it as is, but if...

Hello A Gang; yes I am still alive and kicking! Quick question please, how would I open the case on this old tire gauge, specifically the ring holding the glass in? Would it screw off, or is it just pressed on? Mine works fine, but my curiosity has the better of me, I must see inside!!! Thanks...

Hello Gang , All right I admit it; I 've been lurking around the Forum again late night ; saw a thread about seized steering wheels and a Bill Williamson said his 'rock and roll elbow's locked' method was sure to work - well my A wheel wasn't seized but my Datsun one sure was ( Gasp!!! can he...

Hello Gang, Well I've had some good luck, my Lebaron Bonney roof kit has arrived, so I thought I would try posting a picture( one of these days I will succeed) the roof rubber itself looks pretty good it does have a fabric backing of some sort so might be strong, but I cannot believe this...

Hi gang , Ok I feel pretty silly asking this, and I (hope) its my last stupid question about the roof ( on order from LB, I have to wait a month) Anyways I do not know if the padding under the top goes right down to the rain gutters on a 30 Tudor, or if it only covers the actual hole in the...

Hello Gang; Today I am wondering if anyone knows which vendor sells the best quality Roof Material ( 1930 Tudor), or do they all sell the same stuff ( Lebaron Bonney,Brattons, Snyders etc) ? This would be the 'Long Grain Cobra' , I know its not a perfect match for the original but I...

Hello A Gang, The JS says precious little about the welting found under the visor on the closed cars, only that all closed cars with painted visors had one, and that it was painted the upper body color ( Page 13-8). There is no mention of diameter, or material, etc. I think it was made with...

Hello A Gang, I am wondering if anyone knows what gauge of thickness the chicken wire used for the roof was originally? I was looking at some today in my local store, and it was 22 gauge, it seems so skinny! Isn't is supposed to be a heavy wire? While I am at it, I need to find out how thick...

Hello A Gang; I have a quick question please, I am preparing to mount a part on my car ( I don't know the correct name for it) What it is, is the metal cover, that goes under the roof visor,but above the windshield, and wraps around the wood header, ending up visible inside the car, above the...

Hello A Gang; I have a theoretical question about clutches please, I believe all modern clutch disks have springs in the center, to help smooth out the engagement when you step off the clutch, and probably to lengthen the life too...but I believe the original Model A clutches did not have those...

Hello A Gang; I have a question about a 30 ton press that I have a chance to buy, I know nothing about them, but I believe I read that a press of this size is needed when riviting new brake drums onto the hubs? My brother told me that there are two kinds of presses, one is an electric driven...

hi Gang ; Does anyone happen to know what Fords WIDTH of the welting was at the front fender to splash shield joint ( 30 Tudor)? I know the piping is 1/8" and assume the width would be about the width of the front fender lip, I'd like to know a more precise value though, Thanks ,Kev.
