I'm at the point in my restoration where it's time to reupholster the seats in my Model A. The seat springs that I have look to be in good shape (for 90 years) in that there are no obvious broken springs. After looking at new springs, it appears to be the same design so I'm wondering if it is...

How was the swap meet??? Any good pictures?

I frequently see Mac's having sales such as X% off, or free shipping. My question is do other model A suppliers offer similar deals? I have an order to place, and was looking to see what other deals are out there. Thanks.

Congratulations to that young man. I know I felt the joy just watching the video, the kid must have been ten times more excited. Wish I could have had that opportunity at his age!

I believe there was a video out there of someone holding a match to the gas tank opening, but the flame arrestor did it's job. Can't locate the video right now....

Although it's not Model A related, here are some pictures I saw on Yahoo news this morning. Hope you enjoy them. I like the ice cream picture myself. "Exactly 75 five years ago, Margaret and Denys Gardiner, two lovebirds on their honeymoon, were having the time of their lives touring the...

The guy painting my car had to have hip surgery........twice!!!!

I like the antiques store on the right side of the picture. I could imagine what cool antiques would be sold in 1934!

Just this week I was trying to hurry and stain some new floorboards. After noticing how light the Ebony stain came out, I realised I had forgotten to stir the can of stain. The second staining turned out much better! Sometimes we just need to slow down. Although my mistake did give me more time...

Just bought cowl patch panels from Mac's and they look great.

Not model A related, but thought everyone might like to see New York City in COLOR during 1939. My favorite part was the street vendor selling pina colada's for 5 cents. Enjoy! http://now.msn.com/new-york-in-1939-seen-in-new-archive-footage

I recently bought patch panels from Mac's, because that was all I needed for my Tudor. I didn't install them, but my body guy did before he painted the car. He said they were a good fit, and the paint job looks good where they were installed.

I agree with Kevin's assessment. I recently had my tudor painted, and went through the same dilema. It's a big decision to paint your car based on a little paint chip. Luckily my paint shop made larger samples so I could really tell the true colors.

The license plate on his car read "Borg 9". Hope we all get to live that long.

These close up pictures provide a wealth of information when restoring the Model A. Keep up the good work on the magazine. I know it's a lot of work, but it's a blessing for the hobby.

The information provided here will keep our hobby going for years to come. Thank you for your dedication.

Get there as soon as they open the doors, and spend a couple hours in Greenfield Village. By the afternoon it will be hot outside, so go tour the museum. You will have to walk fast because there is so much to see, but if I can do it with two kids in tow....If there's time at the end of the...
