Re: MAFCA Phaeton SIG Inactive - Interest to restart it?

Davey,


You are right. A SIG is the acronym for Special Interest Group. There are currently special interest groups for various body styles in both MAFCA and MARC.

Re: MAFCA Phaeton SIG Inactive - Interest to restart it?

Re: Inner Tube Valve Stems

We have experienced the same thing you did, twice in one year. But I agree with Tom. The metal valve stems are more accurate if you care about the look of originality. With a 30-31 car the longer...

Re: Intnl Model A Ford Day 2014

I agree with Carl -- black would be more accurate, but I vote for white. A Black car with black tires will be a lot of black on the car. The patches in the past have had a lot of black too. ...

Re: arching shoes

Patrick, what kind of sand paper do you use? Does it have an adhesive on the backside? Or how do you keep the paper in place?

Thanks
