Welcome and remember there is no such thing as a dumb question. They are easier to answer than fix dumb mistakes. Get out in that little Tudor every chance you get. Regards, Wayne

Easy way for pics:
Click the "blue post reply" lower left bottom of page, when text box opens, in the top middle of the bar you will see a "paperclip" click that, a window will open "manage attachments" click "choose file" then pick your picture, after you picked up to seven pics click the top "upload" on the right hand side of the text box, wait for it to upload.
You must type something, anything into the text box message, scroll down to see "preview post" at bottom of your text box, you should see your message as it will appear when you post, if you like it click "submit reply" to post.

Thanks all for the welcomes! Also thanks for the info on how to post pics - I had not yet figured that out!

Mike V. Florida · 05-05-2016, 11:59 PM

Let's get you some starter books shall we;

1) Model A instruction manual reprint in the year of your car.
2)Les Andrews Red Book
3) Ford Service bulletins 8 1/2 x 11 version.

And even thought you most likely will never enter a contest but remembering that in most case it is as easy to replace a part that is correct for month and year of your car as it is to just replace it, 4) Restoration Guidelines and judging standards.
