The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1930 Ford A Standard roadster. What is NOT correct?

Both cars have several things that need to be corrected if you are shooting for points. Are you selling and buying because you think this other car will be less work to make it correct?

The nice thing is both cars look very drivable while the corrections are made. That glow-green needs to go. Also why is the belt so low in the fan pulley? That fan would really be spinning with such a small diameter where the belt is riding now, on the new car. Looks like you have a Delco generator, which will be easy to replace with a correct Model A Autolite style.

Yes, a few books will go a long way to help make everything correct.
