Back in the game

[dan]

Well, 11 years after I sold my 1931 coupe and moved to McPherson KS to get an Auto Restoration degree from Mac college, I finally bought another A.




This particular car needs a fair bit of work. But it runs, drives, and stops OK. Before I drive it around regularly, I need to fix the ebrake (which currently won't lock), add seat belts, and put turn signals on it.


A few funny things: it was repainted (not particularly well) about 20 years ago, and they didn't bother to take the gas cap off... so it's the same green as the body. Also, the roof trim is held on by... drywall screws. I got a chuckle out of that. Somebody couldn't figure out how to repair the horn button/switch, so there's a doorbell button mounted on the steering column. Horn works, though. The back seat is full of trophies. I'm not sure what tiny 80's car shows this thing was in, but it's certainly no trophy winner in its current state.


More pictures later for your amusement.
