Earlier this year, I posted a plea for help getting my '29 pickup to run. I was amazed when more than 14,000 viewed my initial post and the follow up reporting, as well as the more than 200 of you who offered useful suggestions before we discovered a bad ground seemed to be the main culprit.
Yesterday, I drove the truck on a 260-mile roundtrip to a festival event and car show in Central Florida. It not only ran there and all the way home on its own power, it came back an award winner! "More Than 80 Years and Still Rockin' - Best Model A" it says on that very creative plaque you see shown below.
So thank you, thank you again to all of you who offered help and advice, especially the guys from the Jacksonville Model A's who hung in there to help steer me a solution before I gave up as I was so often tempted to do after yanking out much of my hair.
Thanks, too, to the judges and host Rockin' A's Chapter of MARC in Orlando, as well as their very creative trophy designer! There were some great other Model A's there so I really appreciate the distinction!
