Hey team, I've got a 31 that needs some paint touchup. My goal is NOT a fine points car. I just want to drive it, have fun with it, and have it look like it's not been driven through a box of nails. It was painted last in 1970. I want to say I have a receipt from the shop that said it was...

Ok, so I have some REALLY loose pedals. There is a ton of play in them. I am about to embark on doing some work on the brakes finally and know I'm going to have to address this very weak point. How hard is this and what am I looking out for? How do I know if my pedals are worth putting new...

Hello, I just replaced the front yoke and replaced some of the old beehive springs with a more original setup from Mike AFordable. the problem I'm having is that now the front of the engine is sitting too high, however, I feel like I have all the springs pretty compressed. The crank handle is...

I just picked up a rebuilt Tillotson Model X, and swapped it out with my Model B Zenith. The choke rod doesn't line up right and it's not a smooth pull. It never really lined up with the zenith, it was off just a little, but now this is out of whack by a lot. I can make it work, but I won't...

Just lost my radiator neck on a drive out to a movie shoot. Saw the quail turning and thought it was just open, but it came off in my hand. It's a cool day here, and I made it to my destination without a hiccup. What can expect driving home?

So the car died while out on a trip. Never could get it to start again. I figured it was something electrical, because everything else checked out. Checked for spark, no spark at the plugs. Checked for spark by removing the coil wire, and holding it next to a head nut, Big blue spark. Here's...

Hey guys. I'm not terribly concerned with getting it dead on, but I'd like to get it pretty close. Looking for the closest I can get to Aurora Red in an off the shelf spray paint. Any suggestions or anyone done it already?

I've done some reading on the forum and I can't seem to find my particular situation. When driving, I can stop if I plan ahead, and start slowing down pretty early. I'm not expecting it to stop like a modern car. When it becomes trouble is if I'm going down a hill, or if I'm going a little...

Ok. I thought I had this figured out. I'll have to check the timing tomorrow, I messed with it a little tonight trying to figure this out. Started the car this morning. Perfect. Idles well, responds well when I give it plenty of gas and rev it up really good. I pulled it out of the driveway and...

Well if it's not one thing, it's another. I drove the car yesterday and didn't notice a noise. I went to start it up tonight and when I press in the clutch, there's a knocking noise. It's consistent, and I didn't think it changed at higher RPMs. The car drove like normal, just a quick down the...

When I start the car, and am ready to shift into either first or reverse, depending on need, I can't seem to get it shifted without grinding a bit. It's not all the time, and I know that sometimes I've let it get turning too quickly to get it shifted into gear. Most of the time while driving, I...

Hey everyone. I just got my grandfathers 31 Coupe back to the house and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. It's been sitting in his garage for the last 4 months, largely untouched. He was great about giving it some attention on a regular basis, and since his passing I...

I'm very possibly picking up something new and fun in the near future, a 31 Coupe. I'm being told that the gas tank has trouble holding more than a quarter tank without leaking. I can certainly drive it around the block or section line with a quarter tank, but whats the fun in that?! What goes...

Anyone post here a member of the Sooner Model A Club in Oklahoma City? I am thinking about attending the open meeting one the 18th and am not sure what to expect. I don't have a car or anything bit I'd like to get involved and learn some stuff for when I have an A of my own. Just curious.
