I think this is the last of all bad news and suprises, this car has been apart and in many pieces, the axle needs new races, the keyways are loose and not tight, many pieces of shims on the axle or stuck in the housing, all the vomit poured out of the housing when left standing, but the 3.78 looks good, I cant believe its not worn or damaged like almost everything else.

To some Model A guys, this could sound like ........ "The Beginning is Near" ...... rather than ........ "The end is near" ...... of a Model A renovation that is ........ when considering a few different opinions.

Just ask around ...... many great gentlemen here will offer to assist ..... no matter the degree of restoration requirements.

"I think this is the last of all bad news and surprises"

I wonder how many times this prayer has been offered up in the course of old car repair and restoration? Hope your prayers are answered-no doubt by the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and a helpful DMV employee. All myths,right?
