    Turn signal problems

    6 volt system. Flasher still good. I seem to think it is the ground but everything shows 6.5 volts until I go to the turn signal lights which show 1 volt. The turn signal lights are in my cowl lights

    Straightening up a couple of Model A's (Advice needed)

    I agree with gdmn852. I have restored several cars in my life time and although they cost me a lot, I had fun and enjoyed doing so. Either way that you go , having a Model A is a lot of fun and some headaches.Good luck with your venture.

    Blue dot headlight reflectors

    Actually they call them by both names, depending on who you are talking to, or when looking them up. The name confused me at first also.

    Blue dot headlight reflectors

    Those were the ones I bought but from another company. They are 7 inch and I need 9 inch. They help you with knowing if you left your headlights on or not according to other model a people.

    Blue dot headlight reflectors

    Evidently they are as several model A people are using them. Our police are more concerned about newer vehicles vs older cars. Most of the time if an older car is pulled over it is because they want to look at it and take pictures. I know this for sure especially when they see my 28 roadster.

    Blue dot headlight reflectors

    I bought a set of headlight reflectors for my 28 roadster. I was told 7 inch would fit. I should have measured mine before ordering. I am now told 9 inch are correct. Any one know where I can get a set of these that fit and how to correctly install them. I saw these at a model A meet and liked...

    Side Curtains for Model A 1929

    I have yet to find a pattern set for my 28 roadster. A friend of mine helped me do my top and now we are working on making a set of side curtains for the roadster. Funny thing is that the side curtains are almost as expensive as the top. Go figure. I bought my Cartouche top in 2015 for $450 and...

    Attracting new Model A members.

    I drive my 2 A's regularly to town. Our town is very small where I live. Welcome, NC with a Lexington, NC address. My 28 roadster gets more looks than my 31 Tudor but I am sure that is because my 28 is better looking, paint, upholstery, etc. I get stopped constantly.

    Horn problems

    The horn on my 31 Tudor has a mind of it's own. It works on and off when it wants too. . I took it off the car and cleaned it up. Oiled the pads and readjusted it for sound. The brushes look new. Hooked it up to my 6v charger and it worked great. Put it back in the car and it will not work every...

    Prices going through the roof?

    In 2015 I bought my 28 Roadster. I paid $16,000 and will have invested another $16,000 by time my Mitchell overddrive and synchro mesh transmission is installed. I probably would be lucky to get $20,000 for it. Yet it is insured for $26,000. Go figure.

    Deluxe Roadster side curtains photos

    I am in the same position as you. Working on my 28 Roadster. I have tried for months to get good pictures or a pattern. I have designed a pattern but am not satisfied with it. Hope you have better luck than me. If I get mine done I will take pictures and post them.

    Remove Rear Fenders

    When I did my 28 roadster I removed the fenders. If you don't than it will be a slow progress as you will have to mark the welting at each bolt hole and cut out a half circle or mark welting at each bolt hole and cut a hole in the welting. Either way it will go slow in installing the welting and...

    28 roadster rumble seat bolts

    A guy on VFF has basically the same problem as me. The bolts are basically 12-24 or 12-24 D from what I have read. Just need to locate bolts some where.
