Default Re: What did you do working on you Model A today

6-21-17 Worked on getting the pesky, stuck windshield frame screws loose on my '31 AA project. With repeated soaking with Kroil one finally broke free. More body work getting the body arrow straight, a-lot of block sanding. I learned body and paint work while going to HS and college way back in the 60s and discovered then that the greater part of a really nice paint job is the preparation. This will most likely be one of my last ground-up projects, just don't seem to have the energy I had years ago. I am also teaching my coming 10 yr old grand-son what this car hobby is all about and how to do it right. We restored the coupe when he was 7, a CJ7 jeep when he was 8 and started on this 31 AA SWB last July when he was 9. This weekend we entered his '29 coupe in a local small car show, he sounded like a encyclopedia on Model As, I am proud as can be that he "Gets It" and has been this way for the last couple of years.
