This was a great show last year! I won't be able to make it this year as I'll be travelling, but for those that are in the area and haven't been to the show, I took a lot of pictures last year. I was in a marketing class and we needed to design a website, so I played around and posted them...

JB Weld! Wish that could fix this! A friend mentioned he could try helping me repair it in some fashion...I turned him down. Hypothetically, on the off chance we could come up with a repair for it, I'd always worry about it, and on a car like these, everyone wants to see the engine. I don't...

Thanks for your thoughts and comments everyone. A bit of work in front of me still but I appreciate your words of wisdom. I'll be relieved when she's back up and running.

tbird - I will take a look over the cooling system (I have an experienced Model A guy in the area who helps with my car, so I'll have him look it over as well). I think looking for any blockages is a smart idea. I do use rust inhibitor in the water, and I regularly flush the water through the...

Good point...I'll be sure to check that line as well. I was thinking of replacing that petcock as well, so that in the future I don't think "well sometimes it leaks, so that must be where are the water/coolant went"

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions Mitch. The radiator is usually good. Occasionally it will bubble out if I'm not paying attention going up a hill. Other times it would leak where the tubes clamp to the metal. I'd just have to tighten down the clamps. My grandfather had the radiator...

Hey guys, I've been sort of MIA for a while, my car's been running great, and I sort of stopped checking in on the posts day to day to limit how much I was spending on improvements to the car. I was hoping this year would be a year I just enjoy the car, and don't have any major projects...Lady...

I'm planning on going to Klingberg this year. Heard great things about it in the past. I should have my A there as well. I'll look for you Paul!

This was a highly, non technical way of fixing mine, but I did take mine apart and oiled everything up. It wasn't too difficult and I got to see how it all worked. I cleaned the insides and oiled it again, then put it back together and it worked. Driving to the Beardsley Cider Mill show this...

Awesome pics CT AV8, thanks for sharing them! I took quite a few as well, to show my grandfather who couldn't make the show. I posted them on a blog I started to track my Model A adventures. Feel free to take a look at them too if you guys are interested. I had a great time at the...

Great pictures!! I took quite a few as well. I posted them on a blog I'm starting (really to show my grandfather my Model A adventures). Feel free to take a look if you'd like! http://fordsladya.weebly.com/ Overall, the show was great! There was a great turnout and I met some really cool...

I just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks to all you guys. I don't post a ton on here but try to read almost every post to learn as much as I can. I have had a timing issue for a little while now and have played around to try fixing it with no luck. I began thinking it wasn't timing...

Hahahah! I definitely agree with 10 and 17! Sometimes I remember to do both of those but forget to turn the key (pretty embarrassing)! Starting a Model A is much more complicated than driving a new car but once you pause for a minute you always remember what the problem is and laugh at yourself...

Here's the thread on it http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161648

Hey LSJUNIPER when does the club meet? I've seen them at the Woodstock Fair a few years, and always mean to join but never do. The people I've met have all been really cool.

I love the idea! Can you add me to the map? The car moves around a bit, but you can base me out of Stafford Springs, CT. Thanks! Joe

Let's see how the next few weeks go, but if I can find a way to get it over this side of the river and it's running well, we can maybe cruise down together (if you're interested). Safety in numbers! I'll let you know if I think she can make it to the show.

You'd take yours down Rt 8? That terrifies me! I'm used to driving the quiet corner, with mostly two lane, 45 mph roads. Are you driving down from New Britain?

I have to leave my car away from home for the whole winter, so can't keep an eye on the battery. I've thought about taking the battery home with me and maintaining it there, but like having it with the car in case a freak nice day shows its face during the winter. I picked up this Die Hard...

Hoping to make it this year! Not sure I'll get my car there though. It's in northeast CT. I drove my car to Milford last year and it took me about 5 hours (with an hour break along the way). I wasn't in a hurry, so I could probably speed it up a little, but I'd have to leave super early still.
