Re: Anyone from Colorado Springs
Brian,
Welcom to fordbarn... hey... keep your spirits up.... nothing like getting it started after hibernation. Every year our Missouri Valley Region does a start up on a car that has been sitting for 30 + years. We prefer cars that have been sitting many years and are unrestored specimens! Usually within a 1-2 hours we have it running and motoring around the parking lot. We have done this as an annual event for 22 years and are 22 for 22.... Even had to fix a piston one year. Engines seized.. etc. It's our biggest event. Smoke everywhere when they start!
There are lots of great Model A folks in Colorado. Look up your closest club and join.
Be patient.. open minded.. etc. I was 18 when I joined our local group 36 yeas ago.
one guy said.. "hey kid... you don't belong here".... I'm still there and have fixed more A's than any of them and have had many great times. Can't imagine not being in the hobby. Hang in there!
