I’m 25 and loving every mile in a Model A! Rolled my odometer to 70,000 earlier this year (or 170 or 270!) so I’ve put about 12,000 miles on my A since I’ve had it.

Is your upper rad tank missing the hood tabs?

FYI, original radiator upper tanks had tabs for holding your hood up! They work very well on mine! (Although the original '29 core left a little to be desired in Texas summers).

Hi all, I recently recieved a phone call from family asking me if I wanted to purchase a coupe that has family history. I'm interested in it, since none of my cars have any family lineage, but the car has hydraulic brakes. My question is, assuming the set-up was done fairly well/is...

Nice car! I saw it at chickasha and wondered if it went home with someone, a very nice car that looked ready to be used and maintained! Have fun!

I've looked for them just out of curiousity and this is the only one I've come across lately http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=311145360910

And those aren't directionals on the fenders, those are ford accessory fender lights, I know of a few cars around me with them, very neat, the lenses are shrunken versions of the headlight lenses, fluted for 28 and the same pattern as the later twolite in 29. The horn may be a motovox, or...

I wonder if the rocks were there to prevent gas from splashing from the initial pull of the lever on a gas nozzle that has a fixed (high) pressure. I remember awhile back someone found broken mason jar glass in the bottom of their screen, removed it, and the next time they filled up, realized...

^Mitch typed faster than me!

Are the reversible seat brackets already in the far position? (Somewhat 'S' shaped with a pin through them.

I agree the hobby will definitely survive, I think it'll evolve a little, I'm one of the younger members of my club (21) but there are a few children or grandchildren of older members that are taking interest in the hobby, and I do agree with mike as far as the shortcomings you have mentioned...

Great video, those are beautiful! Something neat would be to film your car from the outside going over some bumps and cornering without shocks, and then film the same places once the shocks are installed!

I like them, but correct me if I'm wrong, the only ones reproduced are 30-31, I have a 29 and they fit, but not as well as original 29 pans I've seen. As far as function I believe yes they were to aid airflow and to keep the compartment clean especially considering roads of the era. Also if you...

I was looking to get original top and bottom tanks for my 29 and ended up coming across a complete original 29 rad including the core. I've heard these are pretty inefficient at cooling and I live in Texas and drive my car quite a bit, year round. Does anyone have any experience running an...

He rebuilt my 5-brush top mounted cutout and added a regulator earlier this year, it's worked flawlessly over quite a few miles so far!

"Chester", my car had fairly blinding orange wheels when I bought it, rose beige car with no pinstripe, made me think of Cheetos. And their mascot is Chester cheetah, and I think the name Chester is a name you don't hear often with kids now days. Now all that's left is the Orange pinstripe...

I have seen this before, originally I actually had the logos filled but removed the paint from the lettering to see how it looked and was impressed with how nice it looked...if I paint the reverse of the sidewalls this is probably how I will paint the logo, more accurate, but very sharp looking...

I believe part of my problem was the paint was barely thinned, hence the very long time it is taking to dry, my paint was more along the lines of syrup with how little I thinned it.

Thank you! I did it free hand, with a very tiny hypodermic needle as a very poor 'brush'... my original idea was to just use the needle as a striping tool controlling the flow, but it turned out the one shot was too thick to draw into the needle, so I just did it one drop at a time. About an...

I wondered if anyone has had the same experience as I have, I painted my Goodyear 21" tires and spare (Firestone) last thursday with one shot, and as of today the paint is still tacky on the tire. When driving everything stays put, but I'm wondering when the paint will dry, or if there is...
