Default Re: Your Model A



Split an original running late 31 coupe with the Dad and the brothers when I was nine..they quickly lost interest but in the next two years I spent hours lying beneath it scraping dirt mixed with 600w and pretend driving it. They overrode my protest and sold it for a sunfish sail boat...for a whopping 250 bucks...fast forward three years, after working summers and weekends I bought the deluxe delivery in the picture..a late 31, I drove it during high school, and picked away at fixing it,I remember changing the timing gear and rebuilding the carb. That car kindled a love of mechanics and I joined the Navy Seabees to train as a heavy equipment mechanic, a trade I continue to this day. Fast forward forty years, after an Indian Army Scout, a 51 Ford pickup, a 50 Chevy coupe, two Cletrac crawlers, a suzuki samurai rock crawler and a number of other side projects including Vw's I finally got another A earlier this year..a 29 Sport Coupe..and a nice 31 chassis..
