New Guy in Ohio

[Bob C]

I stopped last night on the way back from working out of town to look at a 30 Tudor. It had a older paint job with scratches. Couldn't tell what was under the paint. Didn't look like primer, maybe original color. Not original front seats, 6v alternator, leaking oil under rear axle. Interior I almost wouldn't sit in. Garbage in back seat, but it ran. Doors didn't fit flush, actually overlapping the body. Almost scared me out of the rest of my search. He wants 10K. I said no and left.

That's the way they are made.

You go on doing that for as long as you own a Model A and this is the place to find the information!

yes this is the place. I just found Ron's Machine shop right around the corner from me. He rebuilds T and A engines, sells parts and has a museum. Lots of resources around me. Love this stuff.

Haven't looked at one for a while but Hemming's Motor News was a great source to find cars and parts.

Hopefully I will have my first model A by the end of the weekend. I whittled it down to 2 of all I have looked at and inquired about the past month. All boils down to finding the right local people in the hobby.
