Sure enough, I compared two radiators and what I have is 1/2" thicker . So now I just have to find an AA shell. Maybe at Hershey this fall. Thanks Walter

Pictures would be nice. Walter

I would then assume I have a A radiator shell. Because the radiator seems to fill it right to the edges. The radiator fits in place but when all sheet metal is installed the hood is one inch or so to short in length. Will a AA shell bolt in for me or is there other differences? I will look at...

I have a 1931 Ford pickup that I put together last year and am using a 66 ford mustang radiator. I have a proper radiator but when it is installed the hood lacks one inch of fitting as it should. There is not any room to move the radiator back or the cab forward. My question is is there...

I have use rustoleum paints on all my tractor restorations and now on my model a. Spray it on with a Harbor freight $10 spray gun. Goes on nice, but does need to be kept out of the sun. It cost alot less the auto paints. My model a is a driver ,not to worried about the paint job. But the...

I beleive he has the best of both worlds, A nice looking project and lots of room to work. I have to work outside, no garage. Make sure the fan blades are in good shape. I just drove home with a one bladed fan. Very slowly, One side broke off at 40 mph put a dent in the hood. I thought the motor...

I just rebiult my distributer earlier this week and the hub that the plate rides on was worn bad. I was having trouble keeping the points gap set. I machined the center hub down to the bottom plate then made a bronze bushing that replaced that area and also extended down into the distributer as...

Not saying things are wrong. Just want to make sure that they are correct. Last thing I want to do is damage my engine or any other componet. I have worked to hard to get to this point. I have talked to the President of the Baltimore Model A club and hope to here from one of the members soon...

Thanks Mike, I have contacted the Baltimore group and waiting to hear back from them now. Walter:)

This is my first model a and I am not sure that everything is as it should be. Is there some one in my area that would be willing to ride with me to make sure that it is driving ok? I am in Savage Md. Thanks Walter

This is my first Model A project. Been driving for two days now and it gets better each day. Had a over heating issue 210, reset the timing and its good now about 170. found that the steering box need rebuilt. Getting lots of attention every where we go. Plan on going to Hershy for the first...

Another model a pick up is now on the road in Maryland. I have put together a 1931 pick up from many different sources. Tonight was my first drive out on the open road. Lots of rattles and noises. But we made it out and back with no issues. Still lots to do to it, but all in time. Walter

This will be my first trip to Hershey. :) What time should I plan on arriving? Walter Savage, MD

Is there any Model A clubs in SW VA. I am from Marion. Smyth county VA. And plan on moving back when retired. Walter

Thanks for the drawning 31Apickup. I made the frame this morning. Can anyone give me dimensions to the seat wood and the back of the seat wood? The seat I was going to use was from a hot rod and was not going to work with out using a shoe horn. Just to big. No room for me. So I will just make...

Thanks, Cool Hand thanks for the offer but I will pass. I have purchased a very nice 31 truck seat that has been completely restored. Looks Great. And has the seat frame also. 31APickup thanks for the drawing I will put it in my files. I try to make all the parts that I can. I have acess to a...

I beleive that the cab was a pickup, with a proper cab back and cowling that had the fodor doors used. Remember I bought this from a hotrodder that had compiled these parts together. I just refined the fit to look better. The cab will be 1 inch shorter due to these doors. But when done knowone...

I did notice that only one of the cowl bracket holes line up. Yes the fenders are from a 1930 tudor. But I am not going to use them in the finished truck. I have a complete set of fenders, running boards and splash sheilds form a 31 truck all in fiberglass. The doors are from a fordor sedan...
