Good looking Phaeton

Bitchin' car. I like it for what it is. Needs some stance though with that hopped up V8 in there:p.

Dang, now I don't know what to do, shall I stay, or shall I go? My brake system is stock, so I answered a question a member had. My electrical wiring is stock but has 12 volts on it, so I answered another members question. My drivetrain is stock (no overdrive) from the throw out bearing back to the stock wheels. I hacked a 31 pickup, as a result I was able to answer another forum members question. Ditto for my cooling system.

Alas, my engine has been modified... am I now a know nothing that cannot contribute? I feel like the Jack-In-The-Box guy, should I stay, or should I go?

If I read this thread correctly, there are 37 post by Model A hobbyist, we appreciate Bugsy's post and appreciate the opportunity to own Model A's for several years and pass them on to someone else, thanks again for a interesting thread, Oh and Milton, I have a car with repop hub caps, new tires and the list goes on, I plan on staying here, MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM SOUTHERN OHIO
 
Thanks Bruce, I wouldn't really like having to leave such a nice group of helpful people. And the same to you from SoCal.

High compression head, alternator, forklift carb, inserted bearings, and a fuse. Do i not belong? Truth is majority of the hobbist do not drive/restore perfectly original cars.

My mistake. Brent is right. I should have posted this in the "Hot Rod" section. Maybe the moderators can move it or close it.

I usually agree with Brent, but this time I don't.
my vote is to keep this thread where it is with the Model As.

which begs the question, "when does it stop being a Model A?"

our reply is "when ever I think it does" :D
sort of a moving target / situational ethics thing.........

this would be a FUN car to drive around in good weather, but totally impractical for Judy & I.

this is not the typical St.Louis Auto Museum car, either. most of their eBay offerings have VERY shiny paint, serious deficiencies under the hood, and prices that seem excessive for the mechanical condition.......

Uh-oh... according to Brent I guess I can't post on this portion of the forum cuz my daughters picked out the color....
 
Enjoyed looking at the pictures. Interesting to see how these Model A's have survived through the years. Let not be too rigid as it will turn people off,

Happy Holidays to everyone!!
 
Are the self appointed FORDBARN Police going to banish everyone who has a high compression head, or downdraft carburetor, or T-5 transmission, or Mitchell overdrive, or incorrect paint color, or 16" wheels, or non-authentic upholstery, or aluminum radiator, etc. from FORDBARN and allow them on H.A.M.B. only ?

I try not to get involved in posts like this, BUT if you look at Ryans message it states "We might have a side bar here and there" would this be one of the side bars? Personally I thought it was interesting. Just my thoughts, Clyde
 
Re: Good looking Phaeton--chill out Brent.....

Brent...

I guess if you dont like what he showed here as a car just dont look at it.

I dont know of ONE Model A Ford that is totally 100% original as a time capsule car. NOT ONE. And neither do you nor does anybody else. Even Marco's roadster has been painted and has had body work done on it...so.....not original.

I have made some modifications on my A that, based on your comments, would not let me post here.

I think if Ryan has a problem HE should delete any post or thread; it is his site...not yours....not mine... .

Getting all riled up like you are is not good for this site, not good for the hobby, and not good for you.

So the car as a V-8 and an incorrect steering wheel and incorrect upholstery......so what?

Just let it go, man....just let it go.

Herm,
About 37 of you guys comments make me sick!! Sick because just when I thought that there was/is no hope for the cause of "common sense"..ahh, here you guys are...and now I feel well:D!
Seems to my memory that not long ago, I remember seeing speedsters zooming around some dirt track...posted by 'someone'?? Geeze, didn't look like anything Henry made?? Do as I say, not as I do comes to mind.
Yeah, I used to work with a few Barney Fife(badge happy)types and it weren't no fun there nither!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.. Rick
 
I know Vbulletin based forums such as this one have an ignore feature. I don't know if that feature is activated here, but if so- just put people on your ignore list and their posts won't show up in threads as you read them.

yep its in your "user cp" under "settings and options" then "edit ignore list"
 
I still think it is a nice "'50's" daily driver, if it was a Hot Rod it sure wouldn't have the 21" wheels on it, along with every other stock feature.
