Just adding a new poll to see what everyone is planning on doing with their Model A's this weekend.

You can select multiple answers.

Nothing, too much yard work to do.

Depending on the weather here (SE Michigan) and the crazy drivers might take her for a spin for a bit just to blow the cobwebs out of everything

Nothing on the weekend. I usually take her out on Friday mornings for an ~35 mile loop instead of weekends while others are at work or school. Sometimes my co-pilot and I stop for lunch along the way.

Nothing but look to see the tires are all up. It is raining, 40 degrees and roads are still salty.

My Burtz block is mostly installed. I'd like to get the oil pan on it and my steering column back together. Keeping my fingers crossed...

I'm going to be painting and maybe installing my 2-tooth steering box and column that I just had rebuilt. If all goes well maybe i'll drive it next weekend

With all the snow on the ground, -- Nothing.

I fixed a major oil leak last week. I had to pull the engine and put a different flywheel housing on. The new flywheel housing is flat where the cam bearing is. The old one wasn't. I used the gasket, the shims at the top, and Right Stuff gasket cement. I glued the shims to the engine but not to the flywheel housing so that I didn't have to worry about loosing them when the throttle mechanism is removed.

Today I took the car for a second trial spin. No leaks.

To me, I read 'further repairs' to include continue restoration of my collection of A's.

Found and fixed a major rattle today. Leading a 90 mile club tour tomorrow. Sunday likely doing honey-do projects totally unrelated to anything automotive.

Installing a new compressor to continue work.

Wash and wax? Sit and admire? We are talking about model A’s?

Downdraft carb install, weld cowl support, pray for warmer, drier weather.

Just came home from a spring tune up with my club. Had several cars to work on so we can all be ready to ride!

Mine doesn't need any repairs. However there is a list of mods I need to do.

My Glide seat is finally done so I need to build the frame, cut the package shelf, remove the base and rumble seat specific sheet metal.
Then there's the Winfield head, Winfield 1-R cam and Winfield SR BB carb & intake along with a header. That will take a little longer. Once the current 6:1 head is off I need to measure the height the pistons are above the block and probably machine the head for clearance.
