My first full time job at 16 was working in the shop of a parts/service co. Guess who disassembled and "Hot Tanked" all the cast parts and guess who painted the rebuilt and reassembled long blocks. Yep my company painted them red for shipping to both Sears and Monkey Wards. Not only Ford bur UGH! Chevy, other GM, you name it. Your are right, back then before Air Force days, I did not know a darn thing about the Model A... At 16, I drove a '35 Ford Coupe which I still don't how it got me to work every day. Your are right again, it was a FORD. jiml...
