2 different VIN numbers. Which should I go with?***Updated*** I slid the body back on the frame today to get a look at the number stamped in it. It is a totally different number than the on on the engine. I am thinking I should use that as my VIN. If I use the engine number and were ever to...

Here are some pics of the burnt paint on the engine my Model A. A little back ground first. The entire chassis and drivetrain were rebuilt about 8 years ago. The owner put the body on the chassis and was getting ready to take it to the bodyshop and he passed away. The car sat in his widows...

I just picked up a 30 Coupe. I am pretty car savvy but I know very little about these cars specifically. What is a good manual to get? I did a Google search and there is a ton of choices. Who are the best parts suppliers? Service and quality is the most important to me. I'm sure I will...
