Not much of a turnout in Orleans this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zGfRkekCcY

My garage is like my wife. The more scars, wrinkles, and age spots; the more I love her!

George Washington was 6'2", Abe Lincoln was 6'4", both towered over a diminutive 5'10" Henry Ford!

I was taught that those are called helper shocks. When your springs get weak it is easier and cheaper to install helper shocks instead of replacing the springs. What we called shocks had one purpose: absorbing shocks.

Your local Police station might be able to suggest a locksmith.

The original has much more detail especially in the cylinders.

Perhaps an electric assist motor to help with the hills.

If the large end of the egg shape is the correct part of the original hole, I would weld a little bit to the small end of the egg shape and then sculpt it back to circular with a rat tail file.

I would like to see any home made tools for a Model A. Let's start off with spring spreaders

It has been over 50 years since I sat in Geometry class, but I believe, if using approximate numbers, (for each 2" you lower the front axle) the oil level at the back bearing would be about 3/32" lower than a level engine. Maybe just add a couple ounces of oil?

You might see if any of the students at NHTI in Concord would like to help. When I was there in the early 70s I rebuilt a Honda engine in my dorm room and helped a fellow student build a VW trike in the parking lot...

Actually IMHO when someone hears a SUBJECT or PREDICTION that they agree with they don't reply because their viewpoint is already there. But, if they disagree with that viewpoint they are twice as likely to reply a counterpoint. So, it is not 2/3 of all people but rather 2/3 of those that...

I use mine as a tow vehicle to Kayak in the winter!

If I remember correctly: The Air Force taught that the Electrons moved from the negative to the positive. The Navy taught that the Holes ( or vacancies) moved from the positive to the negative.

I was going to try this, but when I flipped the frame, I just put my (sufficiently large) body weight on the frame,and the top of the frame broke which removed most of the sag. A plumbers wrench took out most of the twist. I then clamped a long piece of angle iron on the outside as a splint...

Call me crazy, but, I am going to try to save it! I have been welding for only a few years,so this project will be mostly to build up my self-confidence before I tackle a "good" Model A. I had assumed the frame sagged because the bottom stretched, but the top has also shortened by wrinkling...

Thanks everyone. I think I already knew the answer, but I had to ask.

When I pulled off the left motor mount and the previous repair patches, I found why the frame is sagging! Is there a best way to repair the damage?
