My wife bought a "Canned Ham " she wants to restore but we are using our 57 Chevy pick-up to pull it. SHE said she wants to do the work but I have this feeling I know who gets to work on it. :-)

I first thought you said Cannabis, HELL NO but I OK with cannibalism. Oh and I have a 57 chevy truck, let's not forget 57 chevy truck, just saying. :D:D:D

Where can I get info for that cruise? I grew up on that road and still have family there.

I like Roadster P/U's and welcome..

I always work on my cars NAKED but if I did put clothes on, Dickies work really great. :D They are very close to a uniform and kind of repel oil stains. When I was teaching Auto Mechnics, I had my students buy them for the lab work. I would love to have an antique shop coat , those look very...

I tried to buy a basket case a few years ago. It was a 36 Ford that was taken apart to be painted and sat for 20 years. The owner was 65/70 years old and not in too good of shape. He wanted 80 grand because he saw one on TV go for that much. I think a lot think they have gold and the car sits...

The first time I took mine out was to a Friday night cruise. All my lights burnt out when I switched them on. I was told it was a bad ground so I cleaned all the contact points and have not had that problem since. Check the ground for the headlights.

31 Model A, thanks for the link. The red might look good. I am now thinking of painting my spare to see what looks good. Unless I win the lottery, the whites stay for now. My wife refuses to call it Maroon, she thinks I'm crazy and calls it brown. On the line of powder coating, what type of...

Jason in TX, that is one sweet A. I love the planes behind it also, very cool.( been to Wright- Patterson museum many times ) I might just paint up two and see how she looks. Straw was an original color on the P/U and is choice number 2. Before I powder coat the wheels, I'll use a spray can...

The whites came with the P/U and I have two other cars I'm working on so the money is tight for tires. Thanks for the Fern Green, it looks nice. I was thinking rattle can at first then if I really like them , Powder coat. ( if I don't like them , Straw yellow) For the record, the Ford Maroon is...

Just throwing this out there. The wheels on my little Pick-up are grey. Now I know that was an original color for the P/U along with straw. The body is Ford Maroon with black fenders. BUT and that's a big wide but, it has White Walls that are staying on. Now the thing is, I really like the...

I was a teacher and was unable to be on FB until I retired. My ex-students contact me there and it's public and I don't have to answer right away. I also found the club I want to join on FB. The club closer to where I live is out dated on their web site. Makes you wonder which club is more active.

http://www.marc.org/ vs. http://model-a-ford.org/ If you don't know, you don't know. :confused: Nice truck, drive it over and see the A's.

As far as fuel mileage goes, I drive a Ford. It gets the same pulling our 10,000# camper as it does driving through town unloaded, 11/12 . We have an aluminum 12 ft trailer for our Kubota and it is so light, very nice when moving around. The Interstate is close to home but I found another...

Thanks guys. The aerodynamics was from an earlier post were I posted a picture of my A upside down on a trailer. :D We pull a 34 foot 5th wheel but not an enclosed trailer. Our friends have large trailer campers and use the equalizer hitches. Our car/utility trailer tracks fine at 80 but it's...

Once everything is good on our little pick-up, we plan on taking her places. I have a 24 foot utility trailer now we haul cars, trucks and tractors around with. After reading about high speed driving and the effects of aerodynamics on the Model A, we have decided on an enclosed trailer for the...

I was going to write a mean responds to the "get off my lawn" crowd but didn't. Last year after I took over caring for my A, I wanted others to see how neat, beautiful, cool or what ever it was. I'm a HOT-RODDER and have been for all most 60 years. I have been to car shows with cars that had...

http://www.chillicothecarshow.org/ I don't know if this is OK to post but here it is. If you are near the area, this is a nice show. The park that it is in is shaded with trees and has plenty of grass to park on. Lots of cars, 200 to 400 possible. My little pick-up received an award last year...

Re: A question for guys who understand auto electrics An inexpensive Volt-Ohm meter would tell you very quickly if the alt is working. With it running , the voltage should be over 13+ volts. Not running, the meter will tell the battery voltage. I agree on more likely the battery is bad. A good...

For me, the hobby is the working hands-on. My wife and I have built a very nice shop for involving others in the hobby. Right now , we have a young man (28) helping on the A. He might not end up with an A but who knows. If you can get others involved, it will go a lot faster and a lot more...
