"do you really think anyone other than you cares about king pins enough to devote two threads or when an assembly line opened up. It seems you like to see your name on the fordbarn no matter how stupid the subject. Give it up !".

Poor fellow...He must be afarid to come out in the open to bash me on the forum...Ahhh another "afarid to post barner"...Poor guy.


As a matter of fact Wayner...there are a lot of guys interested in this than you know.
Sorry Wanye...Ole Pluck aint giving anything up!

I'm very interested in the difference in the King pins, when the various assembly lines started producing the cars, differences in the gas tanks, differences in the frames etc. The list goes on and on!! I appreciate all the research you have done, you are a real credit to the hobby. KEEP IT UP PLUCK!!!
 
And your "Sticky" on supply/services sources. What a valuable tool!

Pluck -- You d' MAN!
 
Pluck - The information you gather and post is valuable. The Model A during its production period averaged a design change per day. Most of those being to correct a problem.

Also (being an avid history buff), knowing when certain assemble changes/procedures took place during the production of the Model A shows just how important this car was to the entire automotive industry.

Knowing the differences from year to year, or even month to month, is very important to the fine point restorer.

Keep up the good work. (I won't comment my thoughts about McMichael's email.)
 
having recently returned to the Model A hobby after many years (there wasn't nearly the info available in the 60's as there is now), I find this forum invaluable. Some posters are more "relevant" than others. After getting a "read" on individual posters, there are some that I skip over.
I ALWAYS read Mr. Plucker's posts. He's one of the most valuable assets in this forum.

This site is about Restoration, and preservation, not just how to fix your model A. Original parts and the details surrounding them is valued information. If he doesn't like what you write, just don't read it, simple! Keep it coming!

I'd love to hear more about king pins!

It wasn't until 1961 that hobbyists and historians really started digging up and cataloging Civil War artifacts in earnest (a hundred years later). Therefore, there are no known physical samples of some of the weapons and uniforms used. And without the help of amateur historians, many items would be completely lost to history.

Steve is doing an awesome service!

Wayne, not everybody is interested in the same thing and thus this forum provides an opportunity for enthusiasts of the hobby to share their interest with others that have the same interest. If something is posted that I am not interested in then I move on. Hope you continue in the forum and respect others interest that may not be the same as yours.
 
Steve - Don't listen to the self absorbed wankers who would put you down for doing what interests you and many others. Yes, the info you request and post is good stuff. Please keep it coming. I have had the same thing happen to me as well. Just blow them off and keep the great info coming. Please.

Cheers,
 
Sounds like Our friend Wayne needs some Calm Pills !!!!
Poor guy can't even enjoy a hobby .!!! Without a Cage Rattle!!

I have had Model A's nearly 40 years and I am still learning things .
Thanks to Pluck, Marco, Tom W , Vince , Bill W and many others on Ford Barn .

Keep up the Good Work and Happy Christmas to all

Pluck that is a prime example of what I was talking about in your thread of why some are afraid to post. Also it is why I no longer accept e-mails from Fordbarn, just PM's, so this sort of stuff can be sent to Ryan and he can deal with the Fordbarn users that think nasty messages and such are the best way to express their opinions.

He is on my "Blocked User List" after a series of harrassing PM's and nasty replies to my posts. Also he has targetted Vince and afew others. I never knew his real name or cared to know. Rod
 
I bought my first Model A four years ago (and after six years into retirement). I now own three simply because I enjoy the hobby and enjoy learning. If it were not for Pluck, Marco, Mitch, Vince, Tom W., a couple of very knowledgeable Mikes (FL, Chicago), and many others, I would have lost interest a long time ago. Sometimes it seems I enjoy working on them as much or more than driving them. And, the knowledgeable and patient contributors to this forum, gentlemen and gentleladies all, deserve great credit for perpetuating the learning that goes on in this forum-learning about Model A's, learning about early 20th century methods of industrial production, etc. Keep on giving Pluck and all you other contributors and don't get disheartened. The vast majority of readers of this forum are very appreciative!
 
Steve,

It's kind of nice to learn and focus on the original parts and components instead of all the aftermarket junk. Knowing Arlyn Beiber and his '30 Cabriolet he restored and his attention to detail and the fact it has I believe his article said 99% original parts on it is a testiment to the fact it can be done, albeit getting more difficult.

There's always something to learn!

Steve,
I haven't been on the Ford Barn that long but have gathered a multitude of info. on here from people like you. A while back I got a PM from some one who didn't like a reply I made to a thread, I just considered the source and kept on trucking. I enjoy reading about these Model A's . And I sure like mine. So keep up the good work your doing.

Troy
 
Thanks Guys, I look forward each morning to coffee and reading every thread. It's a great hobby....and a lot of fun because of Steve and each of you. You guys are a special group ...and in 75 years I can recognize quality men.
