Thanks much appreciated...

OMG!!! PLEASE do as Kube suggested just pay up for quality use like Reliable or Passport Transport. I used Blue Highways. Once. WHAT A DISASTER I think they finally went out of business at least I hope so. They really bent me over it was ugly,,, if you don't mind getting your car months late...

Are you felllas getting parts back and forth across the border OK? Has anything gotten 'stricter'? Thanks

AND--- AND--- IF there had been a national Model A Ford Club presence in Chicago in that time, locally it would have been called MAH-FCA NOT 'Mawfka" Sorry Paul Shinn:) That's the way we northern Illinois boys talk.... Da Bears:p:p Ditka Is King

:):):):o:o:o Thanks much!!

At John Deere you'd better never be caught not wearing steel toed shoes AND metacarpal guards, or else 30 days off no pay next offense is out the door brudder:) They took that very seriously. When I worked and lived in Germany for JD at the Werke Zweibrucken (Harvester plant) in Combine...

That is very good news AND thank you Paul and Tina for what you do. You can't judge the health of the hobby by club membership numbers today because the world has shifted due to social media. Go over there and you WILL find the interest is strong:) In the early 70's there were 9-10 Model A...

The other day I was driving thru a local neighborhood, and I actually saw a group of kids playing baseball in the back yard of one of the houses and they were having a blast! None of those stupid phones in sight. I about ran off the road in shock:p Loved seeing that!!

Also on costs,, my brother-in-law is doing most of the work on his '69 Road Runner project...that year was a one-off car kind of rare parts don't exist..he is a retired journeyman welder/pipefitter and does amazing metal work... he said even with that he is close to $100,000 into the car but has...

DITTO!! I'm glad I'm on the way 'out' There are way too many wackadoodles running around for my enjoyment:p I'm glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's the world made more sense then, than today. Life was actually fun for the most part. Oh on golf courses--- I don't mean to knock what other...

jak--- we all sure miss Bratton's:( So sorry that didn't work out...

That would have been awesome!! My older brother always said 'If you remember Woodstock (1969) you weren't there..' And neither was he, he used to just like saying that:p One of my sisters was a Home Ec teacher. And SHE always told me that Dr. Pepper had prune juice in it. I forget her...

That is interesting as all get-out! Neat to watch. Coming from a History major! I've been in NE France and explored those sites many of the trenches are still visible. WWI was horrendous. I can't imagine the suffering that went on. Yes it is true.. the politicians create this mess and they...

ronn is right about FB Marketplace:p I'm not on FB or any of that a brother-in-law IS and he is pretty heavy into late 60's Mopars. He just told me this morning exactly what ronn said! His words.. 'The cheap a** 'lizards' that used to frequent Craig's List, have migrated over to FB Marketplace...

ronn-never been to Hershey and probably never will... I wonder if some of that shrinkage is due to Hershey not being too kind to the antique car folks? That and Pennsylvania taxing people on swap meet items ? Plus almost everyone is using Face Book Marketplace today? Less $$$ than packing up a...

Like Brent indicated 'GOOD QUALITY CARS' A good friend has been in the process of repairing our Dad's Roadster that was 'restored' years ago by a local guy who advertised that he restored Model A's. That car was a death trap waiting to claim a victim it was totally unsafe it was so screwed up...

I always liked the '35-'36 Ford Pickups. I thought the styling (copied off of the '34 Ford car) was really sharp. Move into the 90's and beyond and everybody was taking those beautiful pickups and chopping and hacking the hell out of them. They look like doo-doo those trucks. NOW look at today...

Old31, I think that situation was just a bunch of like minded punk kids with no manners! The Entitled crowd. Don't judge all of that generation like that there are too many GOOD 'kids' out there I see it everyday:p Part of it is what part of the country you live in. Illinois still has lots...

Go to You Tube. Search 'Old Car Festival Dearborn'. Make it recent even say, 2025 or 2026. Not only are the videos people post fun to watch... Especially the Night Parade, I want you to study the participants AND the spectators, and look at the smiles on their faces AND study the ages of the...

I think Model A29 is on the right track. The only best way to fix that in my opinion is to change out that flywheel housing. As Brent said that part bears a lot of the stress and weight of the car being driven. Burtz makes an improved strengthened housing that address this common problem...
