I have a B carb on a 31 Cabriolet. Initially I had the carb without an intake not bored out. It ran very sluggish. I ordered a new bored intake from Snyder's. The car runs very well and I would highly recommend the upgrade. My 2 cents

I organized a tour through the country of central North Carolina. The temperature was 28 degrees at the start of the tour. The temperature raised to almost 60 degrees and we completed the tour with 150 mile trip. The sun was out the whole time. A great day to own a model A! A tradition we have...

In Les Andrews book (red) on the back cover is the weights of different body styles. According to the chart AI is off.

Ed in Maine, I used Light Black Gunstock . The number is WTP261. It fools a lot of people, they think it is factory product.

If you go to www.hogriverhg.com and look at "some work samples" the ford model a in the right hand column is my cabriolet.

I used Hog River hydrographics in San Antonio Tx. Very pleased with their service.

I did it about six years ago. It was a lot cheaper than the traditional woodgraining. I was a little skeptical about the process. I have a cabriolet and I have the roof down quite a bit, I thought the exposure to the sun may fade. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend it...

I noticed the rear floor is not "recessed" like the A400 and Victoria. That would confirm more of what has been said about the authenticity of the restoration.

I had the same problem this summer. The problem after much troubleshooting, the idle jet which should be one solid piece was two pieces. The lower piece of the jet was loose and turning inside the hex part of the jet. I changed the jet and problem went away. I hope this helps

If you replaced the ignition switch with a new after market it may be just touching the gas tank causing it to short intermittenly. I would take the dash out and put electrical tape or rubber on the tank and back of switch. I experienced this on a friends car, it was a real head scratcher.

The best thread sealer for gasoline is rectoseal. Its available at any hardware store/ home center. It will not disappoint.

Post #2 is the best pinstripper known to man. He does a fantastic job and is quick. He did my tudor in 45 minutes and it turned out perfect.

It worked for me. My switch would stick and after greasing no more sticking.

I have a Cabriolet that needed woodgraining and I found a company that does hydrograghic graining. The company is Hog River Hydrographics and the cost was about 1/3 of conventional woodgraining. The web site has a photo gallery and my cabriolet is on the site.

Bob I live in NC near Raleigh. I just purchased a panel delivery from MO.I had to get it inspected by a DMV inspector then I went to DMV (i'm going to tell the short story), they gave me a plate and applied for the title. About 3 weeks later I got a call from the inspector and had to return the...
