Wish it was on the left coast, I would but it right now.

Mike, like others have stated there is no stupid question. There is however a ton of information on Ford Barn. Whether you are doing a full restoration or just enjoy driving, maintaining your "A" you will get plenty of help here. Hang in there.

There is an epoxy filler called PC Woody. It work fairly well. The above mentioned fixes are probably better for what you are doing.

Do you have the reflectors installed correctly? The hole for the bulb isn't in the center.

Also make sure your battery is hooked up pos ground. It will run neg ground, just not very well.

Your lucky Indiana only requires one plate. Kalifornia requires two plates, much harder to come by.

Ditto.:p

No need to freeze. They will trim nicely with your dremel or a bench grinder. Use a lube like soapy water or silicon. Some say WD 40 but I think it might rot the rubber.

It's only five bolts. Have fun with the steering box.

Hearst Castle if you have the time. Its kinda spendy but you will really enjoy it.

I bought a set of Bill Stipe shocks about a year ago. He might still have some in stock. You can't go wrong with them. Expensive? You get what you pay for. Hey,its just money.

Rusty, not trying to hijack the thread, but where did you get the resilvering, replating done?

Whats not to like? I drove my town sedan for two hours today all on back roads and just loved every minute. Sure, there was a rattle or two on the really rough stuff but hay, its 83 years young.

Thanks for the link. Really enjoyed it. If we could only go back in time.......!

IMHO you were wrong. It sounds like the seller is ignorant about Model A's but is very defensive as he no doubt paid too much for the car. You would go nuts trying to educate all the "ignorant" sellers on 3bay Any prospective buyer who is unsure about the car or is really concerned about getting...

I found that a propane torch is not sufficient. You need oxygen/acetylene. The backing plate acts like a big heat sink. Also if your holes are the proper size you cannot heat the rivet then insert it into the backing plate. The rivet expands just enough to prevent that.

Rowdy, I bought a set of Bill Stipes shocks last winter for my Murry town sedan. Made a big difference in handling. He still had a good inventory left at that time so they are still available. I think they were around $1000 including shipping.
