Hi Joe, sounds good. We went to the car show today. It was very nice. We are planning to come see you in Ft Myers next weekend at the Ford house. Thanks for all of your help

Al, it was nice to meet you today. Sorry it was so brief! Your Model A is beautiful.

So, the truck is running great. I think I only have two problems left to fix before it is road worthy. Problem #1 is my homemade horn button likes to complete the circuit when turning the wheel. My neighbors don't like this very much when I'm pulling the truck in and out of the garage at night lol.

The second problem is that I found that the alternator FLD post is shorted out internally to ground. This in turn fried the external regulator and of course is not charging the battery. I think I'm going to break down and buy a new internal regulated 1 wire alternator and a new horn button tomorrow. Thanks for all of your help!
