With all due respect to Snyder's, who have one of the best reputations in the Model A parts world, they didn't have everything I needed either, thus Bert's who did have everything in stock. I've ordered from Bert's before and always been happy. The mechanic who was putting my "A" back together...

I'm pretty sure that sales of his products are cyclical. i.e., this time of year there are probably lots of folks ordering parts for their winter projects. In May of this year I called in an order on Thursday (late in the day). On Tuesday morning the parts were delivered to the Bartlesville...

47; If you're up for it cruise over to the H.A.M.B. and search. There are several threads over there explaining and showing rearching of springs. There are probably as many ways to accomplish this as there are people performing it. Many of them are shown there.

I imagine that most of your clubs have a Christmas party Let's hear about yours. The Mid Missouri Model A Restorers Club usually has a lunch meal. Meat and veggies catered and everyone brings a side dish also. The catered food usually is chicken, ham, mashed 'taters, green beans, and rolls...

Testing the new Barn.

mercman, Some time ago you tried to explain to me how to resize pix to make them larger instead of thumbnails. My peabrain just never comprehended it. I thought I had finally figured it out and that's what this test was about.

Thanks Zeke

pic size test never mind; it didn't work. Please disregard and let this die.

Anyone snagged one of these in the over a year since the last post?

Any updates?

Here we are 7 months later. Anyone got more to add?

Update: 1. I'm sure that I used a 3/8" breaker bar or ratchet. I crawled under the car to check and while very loose it did work. 2. I did get a piece of 7/16" key stock (about 1 1/2" long) at the hardware store but it's too large for the rear plug. I might file or grind it down just enough to...

I'm amazed all over again every time I look at this thread.

Here's how I came to love original/restored Model A's: I'm 75 years old and have been into hot rods all my life. My (late) best friend would start building a hot rod, get half way done with it, and lose interest; just to go buy another old car and start another hot rod. Some time in the...

This story might or might not help someone on here. Quite a few years ago my friend (let's call him John Doe) bought a Model A coupe in a state other than Missouri where he lived. Missouri required an ID/OD inspection for all cars titled in another state and bought by a Missouri resident in...

Well, speaking of retirement centers, last Tuesday a group of us did the annual parade at the Lenoir Center here in Columbia. This was not a strictly Model A event, and the MMMARC wasn't specifically invited, but two of us took our Model A's. They put Phil and me, in our Model A's, at the front...

I'm interested in hearing what other Model A clubs do or have done. The Mid Missouri Model A Restorers Club (MMMARC) has a club meeting on the first Thursday of every month (excluding December) at 6:00 pm. We used to have it at 7:00 but we're all getting older so we moved it forward to...

Thank you to everyone who has given advice &/or information on this thread. I plan to try to get my wipers working this winter. Right now I'm too busy driving it to tear into it.

O O, I'm about to be away from my computer for a week or two but when I get access again I'd really like to converse with you by phone or email. btw; I'm always amazed by how many names I recognize from the Ford Barn, the H.A.M.B., Ford Truck Enthusiasts, and some other forums that I check...

Well; thanks everyone. It looks like I'll have no definitive/irrefutable answer or hand-out for my club. I guess we'll just have a discussion within the club members and let each member draw his own conclusion. This has been very interesting reading and I thank each and every one of you who...
