Is there a supplier who engraves body serial numbers on a Body ID Plate?

We have a 16 foot Transport Designs that tows really well and doubles as a vintage race car trailer. I have a 1931 Town Sedan.

Does anyone have a good method for bending the top moldings for a '31 S/W sedan? These are sold in straight sections and need to be formed (the hardway) to 90 degree bends. Do you use heat or bend them cold?

I have a couple of extra handles. They are unique to the '31 Town sedan.

Aero gloss is Nitrate Dope. You can still get dope from Aircraft Spruce, Randolph Products or Brodak. I get mine from Brodak (Randolph makes it for them) in quart cans. it's easy to spray and works very well.

It's looks like a 160B Town Sedan. It should also have an oval dome light (same as a Victoria) and the interior handles are plain (all same as a Victoria or 400-A Convertible Sedan). 160-A doesn't have cowl lamps and has the scrolled interior handles.

I'll take one.

I have a Transport Designs (Williamsport, PA, area) 16 foot trailer that is excellent. They are all custom built and will build anything you want. I primarily use it to pull a small race car (1300#) but I made sure the "A" would fit. I went with springs over Torflex - if you damage a spring...

Thanks to all of you. I have doen an install in a frame but this is the first time with the body on the car. I have a frame spreader so it shouldn't be too hard. I just didn't understand why Les Andrews said to do them seperately and thought there might be a great secret there.

I am replacing the engine and transmission in a Model "A". In Les Andrews book, he suggests that you should install the transmission to the torque tube (mounted on a floor jack) then install the engine and mate the bellhousing with the flywheel cover. It seems more intuitive to mount the...

Patra/Midwest paint is actually aircraft dope. That is getting hard to find - in fact may be discontinued. I buy mine from Brodak, who package it in small amounts for model builders. Brodak dope made by Randolph. You can also buy Randolph from Aircraft Spruce. I spray it with a gun, and the...

I'm replacing a thirty-year old set of tires on my Model A. Can I re-use the old tubes or would it be best to replace them?

I collect that sort of item. What do you have?

I agree with everything you said about Warren Paul. He was very helpful to me on both 160B's I restored, one of which I bought from him. Talk about pulling things from a pile. I was on my way to Page's in New Hampshire to look for a front seat for a 160B. I stopped at Warren's to drop off a...

Blue Crown sponsored Lou moore's team which won Indy 3 times in the late 1940's with drivers Maauri rose and Bill Holland. They used that in much of thier advertising. The box of 10 plugs shows the indy cars on it and is quite collectable. Many companies made plugs that will fit a Model A...

My trailer is a 16 foot made by Transport Designs in PA. They make very high quality stuff. The trailer is mainly used to spull a small race car but the Model A will fit.

Can you post a picture of the spark plug?

The Model A appears to be a 1931 Delux Fordor, Model 160-C. A very rare model a production car,

Based on your post above, I gave Billy a call and he was able to press some pedal bushings on for me. He did it within a day at a fair price. He has a nice setup, knows Model A's and I recommend him highly.
