You may want to file smooth any pits or arced spots, a rough surface is more prone to arcing and sticking than a smooth surface.

You also need to look at the clearances between the hood halves. Modern high build primers can reduce the clearances to where the first few times you open the hood, the paint will chip. I mean the side clearances, not the end clearances mentioned earlier. It happened to me.

You said turning the wheel turns the lights off. Could the sound be coming from the light switch tube binding in the steering shaft?

Maybe the pan is not from that engine??

I certainly hope MARC does not regret this decision. When the CDC directs that any sizable gathering be cancelled or delayed and travel be avoided especially for the vulnerable population (over 60), why risk any or our precious members for the sake of a meeting.

I tried one several years ago. The ethanol gas softened the housing and closed off the fuel flow. Perhaps today they tolerate the current fuel blend better.

I have a similar tool but have not used it much. It does well at removing paint and primer. It says it works well at removing undercoating but I have not tried it. It will remove some surface rust but does not seem to get the rust from pits. It seems some type of blasting works best for that.

Guten Tag, Glad to see your information and photos. I was fortunate to visit an "Old Timers" show in Ulm several years ago on a business trip. I still have a few things I purchased there. I think driving a Model A on the country roads is far better than the Autobahn and you brought back many...

Thanks, I think that is the information that I was remembering. I wish there were more dimensions but I will measure one of my other 30's windshields and go from there.

I am working on a '30 Town Sedan that someone has welded up the wiper holes. I have a '30 Coupe and Tudor I could measure but would like to have the correct dimensions. I recall seeing them somewhere but can not locate them again. I have checked Marco's site and every other one with no success...

I used one on my coupe. The profile and fit were good, perhaps not fine point levels but fine for a nice driver. I used a flanging pliers from Eastwood to make a step flange on the original fender and then MIG welded it a little bit at a time. Took some grinding and bondo but turned out very...

John, You can also consider 3M pinstriping tape. It comes in several widths and colors. I don't know if they have one close to what you want but I found one that matched Tacoma Crème that I used on my coupe.

On our Tudor and Coupe with ww's, the right rear discolors faster than the others. That is the tire closest to the tailpipe and I surmise that has something to do with it.

I ran a dual downdraft manifold and carbs on mine many years ago when I was in High School. It looked impressive, really roared when you opened them up but I did not notice any power improvement, went back to the stock setup.

When we take our two A's to cruise nights, we find the kids as much or more interested than the older crowd. If a youngster shows a particular interest, we get them in the driver's seat and have them blow the horn. From the look on their face, that sound will stay in their memory, maybe long...

Yes, you need to adjust the voltage regulator. We had 8 volt batteries in our modified farm tractors in the 60's and 70's. The voltage regulator coil needs to be adjusted by changing the spring tension. I have done it but don't exactly remember how anymore.

Congratulations from another past FFA member. I never got to any of the state titles but the farm education served me very well.

It appears that you have a copper gas line. Copper work hardens with vibration and then cracks or breaks. You do not want a leaking or broken gas line near the exhaust manifold or tail pipe. Get the replacement steel line from one of the vendors and get the copper out of there. I had a copper...

I purchased my '30 coupe from my Great Uncle in 1957. It was maroon then and all the interior painted areas are maroon. Maroon was not officially offered on the '30 coupes but it sure was maroon. When it was restored in 2000, I painted it an "Official Color" but now wish I would have done it...

You may also want to check out www.irishvintagescene.ie . This is collector and vintage car magazine in Ireland. We too are planning a trip to Ireland this summer and I am looking for collections, museums, shows, etc. I sent a message to the above web site but no response yet. We plan to be...
