Re: Where’s Paul Shinn?
ABSOLUTELY my feelings exactly. Thank you Ruth.

Re: Brattons new reflectors?
John I THINK the originals were brass and the popular replacements used in the 60's-'70's were steel. If I'm right you can check by using a magnet.

Re: Would you restore a Model A today or not?
Good question. For a simple 'yes' or 'no' as you indicated I would have to lean towards 'no'. Not that I like the cars any less that's not it. It's a matter of money.

Re: 41 starter issues
Had the same thing Walt described about foreign junk parts. Starter rebuilt by a shop that was SUPPOSED to be good. They did a lousy job. Worked all of maybe seven or eight times.

Re: Insurance?
Have both Grundy and Haggerty. Both good. Not really much difference. Grundy was ten bucks a year cheaper on the Model A than Haggerty, not enough difference to fret over. And yes, state by state...

Re: Dec. 7th comming up. who can remember ???
My concern also. This is just the beginning of bigger things to come. Not good.

Re: Light switch positions -steering wheel
I've done the yardstick trick Tom mentioned, works well.
And yes that little tool the Model A suppliers sell is great, cuts the job immensely and not as prone to lose your clip!
