Default Thankful to the Ford Barn

It sure is nice that the Model A following is rather large on the Ford Barn, great for gathering, giving advice, buying, and selling parts. On the other hand the Model T site seems very lackluster, same goes for the MTFCA site. I always encourage people who never heard of the barn to sign on your missing out.

I am very great-full for all the help ive received from here. Its also nice to look and read about model As online in the warmth ,when its too cold to go tinker with mine. Sometimes ill go out in the garage and just sit in it and think about all the history this car has seen. Truly amazing cars,and amazing people here who share what they know.

I have enjoyed the tales and builds of the cars and people on here. It has been a great site for tech knowledge, as well as meeting people.
There is a great following of this site and the HAMB, as well as the Garage journal. It can be helpful in many ways.

I have to agree, I haven't been on the site very long buts its pretty nice the help and advice ive received on here. Same goes for finding parts, the more people I talk to and meet, the more I find out about some of you guys and your HOARDS of spare parts just laying around! Pretty awesome! Also been trying to locate more central Alabama people, I know youre out there!

The amazing thing about this site is that it isn't regional, it's world-wide! We can get information from anywhere in the world!

Great site. I have gain much information from many people that know much more about a Model A than I do. It has gotten me many great ideas that have made working on these rigs a lot more enjoyable. Thank you all.

I am afraid to race my Hubley, my wife's Hubley beats mine every time. I accuse her of cheating.

before purchasing my late 30 tudor I read thru - at that time 600 pages of posts, only looking at what was helping me in the selection took about a month. really
great practical help in getting the most for my money. convinced me to buy the judging standards, and join a club

To me this is the best site for model A's, without it my A would not be running as good as it has. I don't post very much because I just do a search and can find all the answers I need or other people ask questions that I would have asked. Thank you for this site.

I don't own a Model A but still am helping out a friend with his driver. I own another make and that is a good car also. This forum has been a great source of info and generally fun to brouse. So may pick up an A if the right one presents itself. I enjoy the preservation aspect as most here seem to.
