Re: Inexpensive floor console
You're very welcome, Doug. I've learned so much from you and the rest of the Ford Barn gang over the years. It's nice to know that I can contribute in some small way.

Re: If you could only do one... $$$
For me, neither. I would rather throw $2300 towards the purchase of another Model A to feed my addiction.

There is a very active Facebook group for AA's. Fred Carlton runs it and posts pictures daily. I don't have a link for the group, but it should be easy to find. :-)
