Re: Roof wadding
I used indoor/outdoor carpeting of a low pile. Has worked excellent for years now. Smooth as a billiard table up there.

Re: Cowl Band restoration
Be glad it's not a '29 Town Sedan. Pulling that off (and putting it on) are exercises in nervousness.

Re: EvapoRust
I'd suggest a brass brush vs. SS. Softer than the surrounding metal.

Any Insight To This?
Bought an axle to replace the one bent years ago in a towing mishap (which hits the apron).
Any thoughts?

Re: Shutting my Roadster off.
A car with gravity feed fuel is a car with a perpetually running fuel pump. Henry didn't add parts just "for the heck of it," we know that.
And to add: I always run carbs dry, works great.

Re: 1929 Town Sedan barn find progress!
Yeah, that's definitely not the correct one for the car. It's a Trico, but I don't think its a Model A model, looks most like a TR-C1A but some minor diferences.

Re: 1929 Town Sedan barn find progress!
That looks awesome! Just finished the same car about three years ago. Murray, 1929.

Re: Reintroducing my Model A
Mine did the same thing. Eliminated everything motor related, even flow tested the radiator and it was good...It was the radiator.
Had it re-cored and she runs cool as a cucumber since.

Just a thought...

Re: What's With The Heat?
Same problem here. Fixed it right up with a new radiator. Flushed it til I was blue and never helped.
