I believe it was called Fordlandia, wasn't it?

One of the tips I saw in the Restorer said to use a grinder and take the sharp edge off of the inside of the bead. The edge can cut a brand new inner tube if it pinches it just right.

I watched "I am a fugitive from a chain gang" (1932) last night on TMC. There was a sweet sport coupe right at the end.

I bought a set off of Ebay. They looked great, but were made out of cheap cast metal. They are the kind that mount with the upper door hinge pin. I got the drivers side on OK, but the passenger side snapped off before I could get the pin in it. I can barely adjust the drivers side mirror to be...

It sold for US $6,788.21

This explains a few questions, such as where the antenna is. http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/scott_tran_automobile.html The auction says FM/AM though and I don't think that's necessarily accurate either.

Good questions and I appreciate the replies. I'll have to do some more checking. I will post a couple more pictures, because the starter looks a little different to me as well.

Please take a look at this picture and tell me about the generator, water pump and oil filler. These are all different than my other 2 Model A's. Thanks!

From what I read here, a LOT. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_re_as/as_new_zealand_earthquake

That one was a very severe Quake and so were the after shocks. I was reading some of the horrible first hand stories about it. My prayers are with you all! In my reading I found it interesting that there was a similar Quake there in 1931, the last year of the A.

It's almost like asking a pretty girl out. If you don't have the balls to ask, she doesn't get a chance to accept. I didn't pay asking price for 2 of the 3 A's I own and nobody got their feelings hurt in the process. Go make em an offer. The worst they can say is no.

Question: What's a down shift? (just kidding)

Cash in hand talks. Many times people will balk a little, but they will ultimately take your cash as opposed to sitting on the vehicle any longer. As a buyer, it's up to you to try and make the best deal possible. As long as you're both comfortable with the results, that's all that matters and...

Same here.

When I got my Cabriolet the speedometer didn't work. Poking around I found that it wasn't "plugged in", so I hooked it up. It made an awful noise and it didn't read correctly. Most of the people in the club said it has to be the cable. It wasn't. Fortunately one of our club members rebuilds...

It was the January/February issue of the MAFCA "Restorer". I bought a reproduction set of ration stamps off of Ebay for my Dads 81st brithday (he still has all of the family originals). I just searched Ebay for WWII ration stamps and the repops are still there, along with a lot of originals...

The subject just came up in a conversation no less than a week ago, so I will follow up and see if he can locate the pictures. When and if he does, I will be sure to post them!

I use Permatex "High Tack" on all of my gaskets. It's a red spray on glue that seals well, but still turns loose easily when you need to remove the part.

If they're that flaky, you simply dodged a bullet.

Jason, you really ought to send that picture into the Restorer for the Out and About section!
