I tried the hamb, but found it irritating.

Old posts about 100 pages long that are just added and added to and all makes of car, of which I have no interest in.

I asked Ryan if he could start a model T and model A HOT ROD (only ) forum.

He said NO....

If I had the knowledge I would make one.

I am into stock bodied model A/s but something can that be driven safely at highway speeds, and NOT being told that a good model A will do 65 MPH flat out....huh?, at absolute flat out 65 MPH speeds all day, you will blow the crank out on the road and still be run over by trucks .

Not as much fun as a nice stock looking rod cruising effortlessly at 80 MPH.

I also have an original phaeton and an original pickup, so know what is best for me.

I know I will get jumped on here as the OP is by some, but if you in live in a glass house, you should not throw stones with your Mitchell overdrives, your HC heads, your inserted bearings, your F100 steering boxes, your float motor engine mounts, etc etc etc....the list of non-stock here is a long one.....

I hang about here, because the hamb does not satisfy my need for knowledge on stock model A bodies and chassis over there.
