Hey everyone, i just acquired a 1931 Ford model a and am very excited to sail the pavement in this piece of history. Also, im very excited to become part of this online community. I am in Clarkston, Michigan. 40 minutes away from Henry Fords old home in Greenfield Village. The model a will be maintained as stock as possible.

Wow, that is nice, just one thing wrong, your garage...it's to clean.

Have you joined a car club yet , the Eastside A’s or oakleaf are both great clubs in your area .best of luck and welcome to the hobby
 
Yah, beautiful garage. Mine would look like that too, if I didn't have so DARN MUCH STUFF. And 4 cars in a 3 car garage.
 
Congrats Sparta and Humperhill. I too am a newbie to the Model A. Picked mine up last Friday. So far have got about 70 miles on it. Great fun!
Since the engine is new rebuilt, I am trying to break it in. Finding several items that need attention since this restoration sat for several years before I got it.
Fuel gauge inoperative. Mixture control keeps vibrating out to way so rich. Hit a big pothole yesterday and thought I broke the front left wheel. Need to take up the play in the steering and so on it goes.
I find that anytime I pick up a new to me antique vehicle, I spend at least a month or more attempting to dial the thing in. Seems like the Model A is no exception.
Oh, I would be afraid to show my other vehicles in my garage. I can't even put my tools away anymore!
