Re: Luray today
I was there too and found a few good bargains! Looked like a good crowd even with the rain. This was the first time I had come on a Friday and it's a huge difference from past Saturdays that I've...

Re: Another Find
Awesome! My dad made 1 for our A pickup back in the 70's. It only came to the bottom of the rear window.

Re: Lifting 30 Tudor body
I took my 30 Tudor off a few years ago by running heavy duty ratchet straps over several rafters in my garage and under the body. I took my time and raised a little at a time. When one ran out of...

Re: New toy to play with this year!
@Synchro909 I don't know why more people don't try either. I grew up with a dad that did bodywork old school with lead so you really had to work the metal to get it straight and smooth. Fortunately...

Re: New toy to play with this year!
That's true! Luckily my better half hasn't started fussing yet! Lol. I enjoy driving my cars but I think I enjoy bringing them back to life just as much! Something about starting with a pile of...

Re: New toy to play with this year!
Nice! Hopefully mine will look that good next year! Mine came with new tires on nicely painted cream wheels so I'm thinking of going with maroon or blue.

Re: New toy to play with this year!
Thanks! The last one I fixed up came from VA Beach area. The salt water air had not been kind to it after 90 years. I'm looking forward to working on this project!

New toy to play with this year!
I found a good condition 31 Town Sedan recently. Brought it home a week ago and haven't had any time to fool with it. The entire running gear is supposed to have been gone through. The body is in...

Re: engine slows when advance timing
I have a Nurex timing tool but have better luck using a screwdriver and setting the time. Most members of our club swear by them but I wasn't as impressed.
It does sound like your timing is too...

Re: Engine Number
Luckily so far where I live in Va, the numbers aren't even checked. I guess they assume you're smart enough to confirm your self or you risk never being able to get rid of it if someone more...

Re: A newbie needs help!
We have a couple of members of our local club that have letter sets that are very close to original style. When someone has to change engines then that person can file off the old numbers and stamp...

Re: What did he do?
Not quite my taste but different strokes for different folks. I saw a wood bodied A in Hemmings a couple of weeks ago. Struck me the same way, more tacky than anything. Both cars have had lots of...

Re: Favorite "A" Body Style
I have 1 of my favorites, 1928 Fordor Leatherback. The other one that I really like is the 28-29 Phaeton. I've always been partial to the early A's vs the 30-31's.

Re: Synthetic oil in a Model A
Thanks for the discussion guys! My dad was very old school and believed that it came with 30W, so that's what they use now. I have talked with members of our club and like here, everyone has their...
