I need to purchase a set of Goodyear WW 475/19 diamond thread tires including two for front fender-wells. Should I order them from Universal Vintage Tire or Kelsey Tire? Is Bratton's still the best source for the inner tubes? Thanks Dave

If I disconnect all radiator hoses/pipe from the engine and allow all the coolant to drain out normally, how much if any water will still be in the engine head or block and would this amount be enough to cause freeze damage over the winter? I will not be able to reassemble the radiator and hoses...

Has anyone ever noticed if there was any difference in quality, craftsmanship, precision, etc. of the wood body blocks sold by the Model A vendors? Is it worth it to pay a little extra for the blocks from one vendor over another? Or are they basically all made by one source (perhaps overseas)...

I have a relatively new cast iron rear brake drum and attached hub that has a single wheel bolt that I can feel (by hand) is loose, but does not turn (yet). Who in the southern New England (preferably in CT) area has the necessary equipment and know-how to remove the old bolt and swage a new...

I purchased a new stone guard for my 1931 and the side brackets are at least 1" higher then the headlight conduit grommets, shouldn't they be even with the grommets? Has anyone else run into this problem? Are the grommet holes in the radiator shell higher in the 1930 shells or are they the same...

In the MARC "Technically Speaking" Volume 10 pg. 18 it describes a problem caused by some reproduction lug nuts that do not have the 3/32" thread relief at the base of the lug nut as required in the original Ford specs. This was also described, I believe, on pg. 7 of the March/April 1988 issue...

Hello, I recently decided to add a right side rear tail light on my 1931 4-dr standard Phaeton for safety reasons. Since I wanted the left to match the right I purchased a new left side bracket at the same time. Unfortunately the left side reproduction bracket does not come close to matching...

Searching through this section of the forums there are many posts over the last several years discussing how difficult it can be to remove or install a spare tire in a side fender mount situation so I won't rehash that subject here but one entry by Pat in Santa Cruz in a 01-01-2015 post...

How much of an issue is it for a small amount of rust to be developing around the point where some of the spokes are welded to the inner hub and also the outer rim of a powder coated 1930-31 original wheel? I believe this might have been caused by a small amount of flexing causing the powder...

Does anyone know of someone that would be willing and able to do a pre-purchase inspection/appraisal of a Ford Model A in the Palm Springs CA area? This person could be a certified appraiser or just someone that has expert knowledge of Model A's. Need someone that knows the difference between a...

Does anyone make reproduction steel bodies for the 1930-1931 Model A Phaeton body style, either 2-door or 4-door? Or is this market limited to just the steel bodies for the 30-31 roadster rumble seat and roadster PU's due to their popularity with the hot-rodders? Thanks Dave
