Time for the bombshell, I'm 22 and I want nothing to do with modern anything. I do all my own work and am the local model a mechanic. I am working with some friends into starting to reproduce some A components that need to be made again. I also am about to go into the babbitting business as I am about to buy a lineboring machine. I got into the A Models as a relief from the insanity of modern cars. once I sell my 53 chevy I will only own and work on A model Fords.
