    radiator hose sealant

    I used a pipe expander for this exact problem. I put a couple hose clamps on the outside of the inlet and the extender inside. I put just enough tension on both to get the inlet back to round, not enough to stretch or break anything.

    Value for a 1928 Roadster Pickup

    I was faced with the same problem with my dads car. In the end my wife's car came out of the garage and the Model A went in. I've only had it a few weeks but I'm glad we were able to keep it.

    Cape Cod, MA... Help

    Car arrived yesterday and I found some local help to take a look at it with me today. I plan to reach out to the Model A Ford Cape Cod club and others once I settle in with the car for a few days. Good news is that it ran well for the 10 - 12 mile trip from my office (where it was dropped...

    The time has finally come that my Model A is arriving on Cape Cod any day now! I'm a newbie with no experience with vehicles this old. I've gotten through the basics of starting and driving to the best of my ability but I'm looking for someone local that may want to help walk me through the...

    Massachusetts Registration... HELP

    I agree with both comments above. I’d much rather be registered in FL because it’s a much more friendly state with taxes and such. Unfortunately you have to register motor vehicles in the state that you have your primary residence.

    Massachusetts Registration... HELP

    I was able to find where to do this once on the RMV but for the life of me I can't get myself back to where you check.

    Massachusetts Registration... HELP

    I'm looking forward to trying to find groups and meet whomever I can since I have almost zero knowledge on Model A's. I rechecked my insurance and it's actually Heacock. Not sure that it makes a difference to this conversation but thought I'd correct myself. Currently I love the idea of...

    Massachusetts Registration... HELP

    I currently have the car insured with Hagerty and I had a short conversation with them and they will insure me in MA. The FL title is in my name but I'm planing to bring the car to MA and register the car up here to drive. After posting this, I jumped onto eBay looking for 1928 MA plates but...

    Massachusetts Registration... HELP

    I'm getting ready to complete the registration for a Model A that I'm moving from FL to MA. The first order of business is moving the title over and then registration of the plates. My question is; what is the best way to do this or should I say what are the pros and cons of the following...

    If you're driving on the Cape today you may need a boat! Raining cats and dogs.

    Firestone or Goodyear??

    This is good to know with the Goodyears. I really had no information to go by when it came to tires so I went on the conversion here on and it sounded like many liked the Goodyear tires. The current tires on the car are Marathon INSA's, made in Canada. From my little research, these where an...

    Firestone or Goodyear??

    I just ordered 5 new Goodyear tires and shipping was $145 ($29/tire). I looked around and couldn't find any prices that were much better.

    car storage

    I'm going through this same process myself. So far in my area it's been very difficult to find rental storage or I may not be looking hard enough.

    heavy steering

    I'm in your same shoes, just starting at 44. Also, trying to learn and not screw too much up in the process. I thought I was going to be the young one!

    6 volt jump starter

    I'm interested in following this because I had the same question. I've used the NOCO Genius Boost Sport GB20 (says 12 volt on it). I didn't seem to have any problems but I'm not sure it's the correct thing to use.

    Firestone or Goodyear??

    I've also been looking and leaning towards Goodyear but I have yet to find free shipping on them whereas I've found Firestone's that ship for free. I'm not planning on letting shipping dictate which tire I get but free would be nice.

    Scary picture

    Anyone have a picture of the proper lift points? I know that this a horrible question but I'm brand new to the Model A world (and have never been underneath one yet. Might as well start learning what I can so that I'm not the guy lifting a car like this.
