    Assorted issues of "The Restorer"

    I have 14 assorted issues of the Model A "The Restorer". I sold the car so I don't want to just throw these away if someone can use them. All I want is postage. They are free if you pay the postage which I assume will be about $6.00. One issue says May-June 1976 and the others are Volume 12 #6...

    Early 1928 Model A roadster pickup

    I hate to do it but I think I need to sell my 28 roadster pickup. I haven't driven it in 3 years and its just collecting dust in the garage. Its a solid car that ran good when I last drove it. It appears to have been redone in the 60's or 70's. I think its all original style except the seat back...

    Question about spraying clear lacquer

    I started to spray some clear lacquer on one of my trucks today with my conventional HLVP sprayer and the paint started coming out like tiny confetti or cobwebs. It sprayed OK last month using the same paint and lacquer thinner. Temperature is about the same as before so I either have bad paint...

    Would I have anything to gain by putting 1934 front brakes on my early 1928 Model A, or would there not be enough difference to bother with the work involved?

    Early 1928 spindles

    Are the early 28 spindles any different from the later spindles? I was thinking about later, maybe 1929 brakes on my early 28 spindles if they would bolt up. Just curious thinking while the turkey is cooking..;)

    1930-31 2 door Phaetons

    Can anyone tell me how many 2 door Phaetons were made in 1930 and 1931? I have always loved the only two I have ever seen. One was on 77 Sunset Strip on TV and the other in an old movie. Never seen one in person. I have seen quite a few 4 doors but they just don't look as sporty to me.

    Tire protection

    Is there anything you can put on tires to protect them from dry rot if you keep the car stored in a dark garage most of its life? I have had two sets of new tires on my cars dry rot and one still has the nubs on them they are so unused.

    What do I need to convert early 28 to 16" wheels?

    I am considering putting my 16" 1935 wheels on my 1928 early (AR) pickup. I understand the brake drums are unique to early 28. What would I have to do to bolt on the 35 wheels without changing anything that could not easily be changed back later? I would try it now but the wheels and the car...
