Re: This is a site for stock restoration.

RyanB,

Re: Page 66 in Antique Automobile 180A

Peter,

Revealing a score to an owner is of course a violation of the rules for a judge in AACA. With that said, I can tell you that I have seen a bunch of 400 point cars in my years of AACA...

Re: Model A Wipers

My wiper arrived back today. It works like it should and the price was fairly reasonable. Not the fastest repair ever, but I am happy.

Re: Armored Wire?

The wire to the electric wiper on my1929 Phaeton is an armored cable. I don't remember what other open body styles used the armored cable, but I think there were a few.
