Re: Grease fitting on exhaust pipe
You need to be careful when buying your smoke. I've heard of people refilling their old bottles with grease smoke and selling it as genuine imported Lucas smoke.

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
I'm torn on which one to get. The rarer early 33 had a fender like the Model A but later and in 34 the fender had an extra piece behind the wheel.

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
I've got a few pounds on you and would love to add a 33-4 Vicky to the stable. I wonder if any of the aprox 4,200 1933 Vickys got a 4 cylinder.

Re: Westchester County NY Model As?
The MAFCA site has all their chapters and contacts listed. Looks like Westchester doesn't have a website.

Re: Engine Number
Your car has probably been registered since before the early 70s in CA. Today if you register one built from parts or brought from out of state you'll probably get a new tag from the state.

Re: Next step - brake lines...30 Tudor - Guidance?
Local parts stores carry various lengths of brake line - use 3/16". I like to start with the straight lengths - you only need to cut and flare one end (if any). The coiled stuff takes too much time...
