Default Re: Millennials decided on an "A"

Welcome Tim,


Glad you caught the addiction. I will give you my opinion on your questions:


Years: How big are you? The 28/9 seem to be a little smaller than the 30/1's. Other than that it is preference.


6v/12v: Opinion here, the system was designed for 6v and works just fine that way. However, if you want to drive at night then 12v will give you brighter headlights and a faster starter but that generally is about it. Oh yeah, batteries are easier to get.


Body style? I agree with the other suggestions about a sedan. Like it was said the 28-early 30 fordors have a wood body, clad in steel. If the wood has been redone already go for it. If is bad then that can get REALLY expensive.


Grab some books, get into a local club (search the MAFCA or MARC websites) and have fun buying it and the tools. Then just enjoy the smiles and fun.


Mike
