The car in my avatar has been in the family since I was 13 or about 44 years. The whole thing is one big farmer special. As is this car is a late 31 coupe body with a 29 AA engine and 4-speed trans and obviously a truck bed where the trunk used to be. I've spent quite a bit of time and money...

Looking for a [donor] Model A frame or frame rails without cross members. Preferably in SoCal area. Thanks, Tom

We always see threads about overheating, radiators, 2 vs 4 blade fans, effects of engine pans, GAV adjustment, what thermostat temp to run (if any), etc. And then there's the #4 cylinder running hot thread. What does that even mean? I've seen the effects but never quantitative data saying how...

Ok now that I have your attention! I thought I'd share how I replaced the "Balls" on my A, since I couldn't find any info about it besides the instructions "you simply cut off the old ball, drill the hole, slide the new ball stud in place, and weld!" (from Snyders). I purchased an easy steer...

Picked-up my second Model A Pickup. Long story short; I got it from a friend who got into some financial trouble. When his troubles began he sold the rental house where the truck was being stored and put it into a storage facility along with all the other junk that was in the garage. A couple...

I recently bought a Bridgeport Mill and this displaced a BUNCH of "A" and "B" stuff I've been accumulating. I'd like this stuff to go to a good home as opposed to being scrapped and am not looking to make a bunch of money. I want my parking spot back. Make me an offer and come get this stuff as...

I'm helping a friend get his 31 PU running so he can sell it. http://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82064 A compression check and pulling the head revealed all 4 exhaust valve burnt. I have some extra, serviceable, valves and the tools to do a quality valve job. He doesn't want to spend a...

I drove my A to church a couple weeks back and afterward a friend approached me and said he had a PU that's been sitting since the 80's and he'd like to get it out and look at it. We made a date and here it is. He though the brakes where locked up because he couldn't move it but it turns out...

A friend just asked me what this is and I'm not sure. Any ideas? The plates are Calif 31.

DMV Clear as of 5/23/2012. Price includes shipping. I was going to use these on my A but DMV shows it as a 32 so I bought a set of 32 plates and no longer need these.

4 years ago my A locked-up its engine. There was some haste in my desire to get it running again, 3 of my 4 kids learned how to drive in this car and now my baby is learning to drive. It's her turn to drive the "A". Thanks to Chip who lives very close to me and posted a smoking hot deal on a...

Repainted 1931 California Plates. I was going to use these on my late 31 A but the DMV shows it as a 32. Rather than buck the system and prove it's a 31 I opted to purchase 32 plates and sell these. These plates where sandblasted clean and powder coated black, then the numbers where hand...

I have a set of Ford Script Valves and all but one are serviceable. Are they worth anything other than to put in an engine and run?

First let me say thanks to Vince @ fordgarage.com. He's got some great info there. I just picked-up an engine which initially I thought was a Feb 31 based on the SN that was presented me before I purchased it. Once I got it home and did a closer inspection it turns out it's a diamond block...

I have a diamond block with the SN "DR88222" stamped on it. Anybody have any idea what this might have been originally used for/installed in? Just curious.
