Marco Tahtaras

Marco and I spent many hours together working on the updates to the Judging Standards for 16 years. A personal friend, and I relied on his in-depth knowledge about Model A's. My thoughts and prayers for Susan and their children. An unfathomable loss to our hobby.
 
I looked under the roadster at a meet, and Marco spotted me. That was the first encounter.
From Paul's video, the ride was good, probably great shocks. I think the cotter pins all had the same treatment on the front axle assembly.

My condolences to Susan and family. Marco's passing is a massive loss to our hobby. He was a huge help to me in the fine details of restoring my Model A and a great host and master on the Bbq when Chris and I visited. RIP Marco.

Am I the only 1 that when I click on a link it says it's blocked the only links that work or ones that link to a previous ford barn link. Is there a way to turn this silly blocking off???
 
My wife and I spent a lot of time visiting with him at Hamilton. Great guy and very personable. He will be missed.
 
I am deeply saddened from hearing of Marco’s passing. I worked with him for almost 10 years on the MAFCA JSC. I was always amazed at his knowledge and recall of Model A details. There were many times at an in person JSC meeting that Marco and Doug Clayton would talk about some small detail of 2 almost identical parts and the rest of the committee at the table would get an education on how the parts differed and what years they were for. I will miss him, and the Model A hobby has lost a true giant.
I wish his wife Susan the best.

I have just returned from a few days away from home to read this. I'm sorry I came back!
Marco's posts were among the few I respected.
RIP, Marco.
 
I'm very sorry to hear about this.

I learned a LOT from reading Marco's posts and looking at the detailed pictures he provided. I had never met him personally.

Rest in peace friend we'll all meet up again someday.....
