    New paint problem

    Early wheels

    The bolt pattern on both the 'AR' and 'B' wheels are the same. They will fit on the drums but will not bolt on correctly due to the shape of the drums and the shape of the inner portion of the wheel.

    Serial Number and Year of production

    I once owned a 1929 AA truck. The engine was dated November 1929 and the title stated 1930. The engine and frame number both matched.

    There were several ways of mounting the spare tire on Model A's. Depending if you have a large 'AA' truck, commercial chassis, custom bodied vehicle or a car would dictate the way you mount the tire. It also depends on if you have a standard or deluxe model. I suggest that you purchase a copy of...

    Rear view mirror - interior

    I have an old reproduction wind up type clock mirror in my sedan. Works fine. All you have to do is wind it up. Originals are out out of sight with the current post COVID price boosting. If you are looking for an original, be patient. One will turn up for you at a reasonable price.

    Radiator Leak

    I don't know. If it were me, I would pull the radiator and send it to a good radiator shop to check it out, flush it, and make any necessary repairs. I would then completely flush out the block. I would use a can of Barr's Stop Leak, and then fill it with a 50-50 mixture of anti-freeze and drive...
