Re: Model A Fella's please read this Have not been here in a while. I agree with Ryan and Cobs stance. Some people seem to want to lord over others because of their "superior" knowledge or "righteous" attitudes. There are no dumb questions.

Cool Hand Lurker, You sound just like me. I enjoy my retirement just like you, out in my shop on the mill, lathe and surface grinder, maybe welding some things together for no good reason. Just wasting my time. Keep on doing your thing. Just because it's been done a gajillion times by others...

Hi Tom, Chris is right about being easy to turn out new bushings on a lathe. Most starter bushings I have encoutered have been made of "oilite", a sintered bronze material that is pressed and bonded into a solid form however quite porous. It is then impregnated with oil. Your bushings have only...

From what I read, most have good braking using this combo. This leads me to believe that Smitty has a problem other than the combination of drum and lining. Smitty, have you had the drums on a brake drum lathe and checked for concentricity and bell mouth conditions? Also check the drums with...

Well spent $300. Almost looks like a mid 40s IHC pickup hood that makes the boat tail. Cool!

Keep taking care of mom Wuudie. No matter how irrational she may seem, she won't be around forever. When she is gone you will have a clear concious and a nice model A.

I agree with Pluck but not fun to drive school bus in. Farmers happy with cover for wheat.

Re: powerful words like barn fresh little olé lady Ok, we have established that the guy is probably a (yeah, his feedback indicates a really baaaad "I don't give a crap about you" attitude) real jerk. On the moto meter that started this thread, I checked ebay and there are a lot of them priced...

Great video. Would be neat to see some model A school buses. Any out there? I question Mr. Luce's discription of shifting into high gear on the mode T. It seems to me that the time I drove a model T, the lever he discribed was to apply the rear wheel brakes which when applied also held the...

Seems to me the last trip permit I got was about $20 and good for 3 days. I get mine at the local courthouse auditors office. DMV might work too. I know that cars licensed in Spokane need to be smoged but not where I live in Adams county. Would assume that Seattle and Tacoma would also need it...

Re: powerful words like barn fresh little olé lady To me the piece looks vintage and in pretty good shape. Awful pricey for me though. Way older than model a if it has been sitting on a barn shelf for almost a century. That would put it last being used about 1908 to 1910:cool:. My question is...

Thanks for the information Tom. I don't have a copy of the judging standards but know a fellow who may. Will check with him. Yes Jim Parker, they are the long ones that attach to the frame on one end and the bumpers are on the other. You mentioned the risers attaching to the body and mine are 2...

I am in need of a set of rear bumper brackets for my Jan 28 tudor sedan. Someone torched mine in its former life :mad:. Are all rear brackets the same, 28-31? I see some on ebay listed for 28-29 and I have seen others listed as 28-31. Are pickups, open cars, etc different than the sedan? Any...

Wanted: Nice single lady from Hawiaii with ideas of starting a long term relationship. Must have cool old car. Original or rodded. Please send picture of car. It is, a nice looking car. I too like them all and thanks for posting.

On the front bumper, the passenger side turn light (I assume it to be turn) is amber and the driver side is a very dark color. Are Canadian turn signals different colors side to side? Just currious.

I love what I see in the background of your picture. Lathe, mill and metal shear. Great machinery for repair and fabricating hard to find parts. Did you fab the Gatling gun?? Keep the pictures coming----nice work.

If rcranger is looking for "justification", he needs none from anyone here. Build it as you see it best suiting your wants and needs rcranger. You have some good ideas and got more from the barn. Forget the "sarcastics" who think their way is the only way.

WOW, I'm not quite sure why Jim Parker Toronto got his knickers in a knot over the use of the word scam especialy when jkeesey had a logical explaination of his use of the word scam. A little tolerance here please.

Yep!!!! $2.58 for Gravelroad and $42.00 for the tort Kings.

Good save. I have found that the most fun is in the retrieval itself. Yarding something out of a hidden ravine (or in Hillbilly Tims case an obscure shed) with two or three friends whether it is yours or theirs-------nothing more fun.
