Finally finished up the 29 coupe! What a journey to say the least. I am still battling the DMV over the original 1929 licence plates I found for it. They want me to have yearly safety inspections, have the highway patrol put a VIN plate on, and pay annual registration fees. Since I had to pay out quite a bit of money for the plates I am going to do it but I am really not happy about it.

A big thanks to everyone for all the help over the years. I could not have done it without your help. Really looking forward to being a proud Model A owner and driver.

Thanks!!

I went through the same thing with the local Reg of Motor Vech.

Worth it though use it as second car.

Thanks. I still need to have the original orange pin strip applied. I have the paint and the person lined up but I still haven't made up my mind yet. It's just such a contrast I am not sure I want to do it.

Congrats. I'm sure it's a relief and joy to be done.

Rose Beige & Seal Brown...Right?

The orange pin striping actually looks pretty good over the Seal Brown.

Good Day!

I guess in this respect, wash state is great. I have horseless carriage plates, which is a one time fee. No inspections,although there are restrictions, which don't affect my driving or miles driven. And I drive pretty much weekly all year.

Great restoration, I also love the photo of your young helper. If you ask me, that is the way to get the youth involved in the hobby.

TinCup · 11-07-2016, 10:19 PM

Well done sir!

TerryH · 11-07-2016, 11:31 PM

California also does not require annual inspections, which is amazing considering all the other stuff required.

JonC · 11-08-2016, 06:44 AM

Sure is a nice car, hope you have a lot of good times with it.

wallster · 11-08-2016, 07:19 AM

Congratulations!!! Well done, add another Model A Saved to historical correct condition... Now enjoy.

I drove the '29 to DMV in DE yesterday.. nice clear, crisp day, took a back-road to get there.! Windshield wiper (vacuum) and E-brake need some work,
but the experience added a lot of confidence to the undertaking.. next time
I know it will pass.!
You have a nice looking Coupe.. well-done.!

Looks great. Getting it done in four years is quite an accomplishment.

"Great restoration, I also love the photo of your young helper. If you ask me, that is the way to get the youth involved in the hobby." Indeed. I bet none of this friends can say that he helped take a car apart and put it all back together again!
