I'd like to get a copy of his article on Model A engine block changes.

Has Steve's email address changed?

Have a look at Pluck

I'm not sure he's on this forum anymore. I was able to private message him last year on the other vintage ford forum and was able to communicate with him.

What browser are you using to try and view them?

Neil Mylar LakewoodCA · 08-08-2024, 03:15 PM

It's a mystery, but I was not able to view the article from my cell phone, but I was able to do it from my lap top.

It looks like his site is no longer, which is a shame as it had some very useful information.

It looks like his website was pwned (hacked and taken over by some malicious elements) or was abandoned and then resold maybe.

Steve intentionally let his website subscription expire and the web address has been thrown back into the open market where third party brokers try get you to buy it.

LeonardS · 02-18-2025, 03:46 PM

Steve can still be contacted on a different Model A site.

Gerald and Sons in Nappanee, Indiana, that restore Model A's (and turn out first class work

) no longer have a website. You have to go thru FaceBook to contact them. I'm not on FB I guess it's getting to the point you will have to, to keep up with stuff.

Dropping websites must be a common thing today! Can't say I blame people it comes down to money. Probably the same motive for Steve letting his go.
