Re: Back in the game
I am going to make some observations regarding this post.
The car Dan purchased was likely being considered a 'restored' Model-A. Now I have not inspected Dan's vehicle up-close however based on what I see in the pictures and things Dan described in post #8, to me it seems like this car was just a used car that at some point had some things repaired and then repainted. In many, many areas of this car it appears that much was either repaired poorly, -or just intentionally overlooked. Dan's car is not alone as I see this type of car advertised on social media every time I look.
The irony is that 30-40 years ago in this hobby from what I remember, cars like this were purchased with the plan to actually restore it. These were not considered 'restored' cars by hobbyists back then. I guess it is a good thing that Dan has spent the last 4+ years getting an education on how to properly repair & restore (-returning it to a condition equal to or better than what it was when originally manufactured) vehicles just like this as he will likely have a great career ahead of him doing just that. (Dan, I have sent you an PM.)
