Hi all. Question on the windshield pivot assembly. I have a wing nut that is frozen to the stud - if I try to remove it the stud unscrews - what is happening that I cannot see? Any thoughts on how to remove? I researched a couple of threads on this but am still a bit unsure of how that...

Curious if anyone else with a similar set up finds that a slightly richer mix to be optimal. I have a fresh engine (maybe 5 hours on it so far). Snyder's 5.5 head, B cam grind and 0.100 overbore. Runs great with exception of stalling twice on deceleration. GAV essentially closed as I would...

Sold thank you

Changing to non welled front fenders and better splash pans/running boards on my roadster. I know to remove steering wheel support before lifting the body. Anything else to look out for? Appreciate any tips -thanks.

Hi this is an early 30 Standard roadster that has been made very roadworthy and is a very solid car with old paint and upholstery but still draws a lot of looks. Very detailed description and pics at link to the AACA forum...

Sorry thanks for interest. The kit is incomplete cannot sell in this state. This kit shipped to me the week they closed their doors. Not only did Lebaron Bonney not provide what was paid for in advance, what they sent was incomplete. I hope the owner is out of the hobby/business but I...

Hi, anyone know if these monthly Sunday morning meets are a go this year? Usually draws folks from CT and western MA area, smaller but mostly Model A related stuff. Thanks, Steve

I was missing the transmission mount component and found one over the winter. I get it stabilizes the FAM rear engine mounts and helps properly align the engine to tilt back to arount 3 degrees. Question though, does it replace or mount on top of u joint cover top half? Thanks, Steve

This weekend my wife took her first Model A driving lesson. She did great but at 5" 1" reaching pedals has been a challenge. We are looking at options, anyone got any tricks to share here? Thanks!

Guys how tight do you go when installing original type shock links? Had a great 15 or 20 mile shakedown run Sunday, after a front end rebuild. I did lose a shock link.. I suspect it seated ok, but was just too loose. Do you crank to a lot of resistance? Or do you think maybe it wasn't...

Hi guys. Another quick question, on shock arm removal, is it typical to have to spread the arm a bit to get it off the shock shaft? My concern is weakening the arm, which was a bit loose to begin with. Or do you get behind the arm and pry it off? Last thing I did on the A the other day was...

Hi all. I have a pretty good understanding of options on shocks, Stipe, rebuilts, etc. So a quick question, is anyone personally using Shock absorbers from Snyders? I know they are made overseas already as I spoke to them a couple weeks ago. I am interested in how they have performed on a...

Does anyone know the procedure to adjust the front to back orientation of a 30 hood? It is tight against the raduator, but a good gap at firewall or cowl band area, even more so on driver side. Thanks, Steve

14 T Speedster project. Frame blasted & painted nicely, nice wooden body, new Rootlieb hood, nice fire truck type seat, lots of new and nice parts including two sets of coilman rebuilt coils. Engine rebuilt by hobbyist. Great start. Decided to focus on our A roadster. Message me for pics...

Looking for fenders for our 14 Speedster build. Prefer NE area, or could do Rhinebeck or Hershey meet up for longer distance. Good original or repro would work. Thank you.

No longer For Sale Thanks.

What if any leeway is there on color, i.e correct Model A colors but overlap in model or model year? I have the color guide but not sure it addresses this. I ask specifically as I am interested in a color (Ford Maroon) that is not one of the handful listed for the 30 Standard Roadster we are...

Sold thanks. Very good '30 - '31 Deluxe Roadster top frame with a tired white vinyl top - the frame itself appears to have decent original tan paint, and the chrome parts and bows are nice also. It has the thumbscrews and brackets to mount to windshield. The top is ripped at both inside...

Guys can this be done from the ground and if so, does wishbone need to be removed? Assembly, but not replacement while car is in service is all I can find in my books. Thanks - appreciate any tips on this.

Attending Hershey Wed - Friday Ideally looking for a complete top assembly for our '30 Standard Roadster, worn top is fine if serviceable. A second choice would be a set of top irons so the same Please let me know location if you can help on top. Thanks Steve Moderator - Posted here in...
