IMO, PS has a knack of combining entertainment with useful information for Model A owners.

and? what's bad about that?


I, for myself, can say that Paul has done a lot for getting me interested in Model As and has prepared me a great deal.


Thank you, Paul!
 
I met Paul and his wife last
Spring when he recommended
me to transport “ The General “
to it’s new owner back East.

He is knowledgable - courteous
and highly respected in
The Model A Family.

Anyone interested in Model A’s
should subscribe to his YouTube channel.

The General ….

Thank you for the love! Hey, Just doing my part to help turn around the trend of the hobby shrinking or dying. I am merely a servant with undefiled enthusiasm. No ego, no gatekeeping, just a guy trying to help another guy.

Was sure a pleasure to meet Jim and see his custom hauler setup. I can see why he has so many fans.

Hi Paul

I am leaving Florida for Oklahoma
to provide coverage on social media
for the 34th Spring Chickasha
Pre War Swap Meet on
March 15th & 16th.

Turning The Wheel - Giving Back.

You upload videos to YouTube
for the good of the hobby.

Your manner is direct.

You extend a hand in friendship
not with your palm up to
have it greased.

I hope we meet again and
perhaps next time I can buy
a meal for you and your wife.

Hopefully I will also be able
to cover The Spring Pre War
Swap Meet at Famoso Speedway
just outside Bakersfield in May.

My friend Jim Holguin in Tulare
was asked to manage the entire
event by the owners and set aside
a section for Pre War Vendors.

Stay healthy & busy ….


Jim

I too have Paul to thank for getting me interested in Model A's... and Model T's as a matter of fact. He did a video comparing the two cars. I find his videos easy to relate to. Now, I just need to get my Son interested in these old relics so I can have someone to pass them down to. Last time I checked, I can't take them with me, but I'll keep checking.

My father used to say "They don't put pockets in shrouds!"
 
I find the questions and answers posted here to be very helpful as I slowly work on my two 28 phaetons. But I really like Paul's videos as well. As someone has already noted, it is good to actually see how something is done as opposed to read how it is done! I have also quite liked Tina and Paul's "Q&A of the day" videos on her channel. Short, interesting, and you just about always learn something!
 
Paul;
Maybe you can answer this question for me as I'm at wits end here not knowing what to do next, but here is my question and that is this in my Late 31 Deluxe Tudor Sedan the Driver's Seat, has rails on the seat two on the bottom and two on the top of each side of the seat and the question is this on the two Deluxe Seats that I have one of the rails are at a angle.

On just one side and I was told the the Ford Engineers did that but I have no reason as to why that was done or any other proof of that, but the two Deluxe Seats that I have here that are identical one side of the rails is at a angle on both seats of mine.

But I have no proof of that at all as I don't want to change my seats to sit parallel to each rail. but the seats that I have I can't tell that they were touched in anyway on both of the seats that I have here, but there are some people that say there suppose to be parrilla to each other but then I have a Historical Library that says they were originally at a angle.

But he couldn't send me the proof of that or the reason to that as well so I need a reason as to why those rails were at a angle in the first place as there are some that say they have to be parrilla to work, but I have bolted my seat to some plywood that I have here and they just slide perfectly to each other so my question here is are my seats the correct way of doing it.

Or is the other way the correct way of doing it as both work and slide easily with them both ways so is my seats correct or not as I think I am correct in this dilemma, so if you could find me the proof of it with blueprints or something like that as I have to know for sure as to who is right here. Thanks Reggiedog
 
Paul Shinn does a great job at explaining and publicizing the Model A Ford. Keep up the good work.

As far as expert advice, I have seen much expert advice (and have it UN-expert-ed by the next expert) over the last 54 years since I bought my A. Most publications have some mistakes.

No comment on RHD as I have never seen one except, what should I say instead of passenger side? Right side? oops Right side looking forward or left side from the front? OR ?
