Re: Where Have All The Purists Gone...
When I purchased my 30 roadster a few months back it had been converted to hydraulic brakes and a start to a 12 volt system. I intend to keep the body original but will keep the brakes and finish the 12 volt conversion. I for one appreciate the advise and wisdom of those posters with experience and while it is possible to do things several different ways it doesn't take very long to learn which posters really know their stuff.

Re: Where Have All The Purists Gone...
I don't mind all the personel conversations back and forth because I realize a lot of the posters on here are long distance friends. I have learned a lot on here and I've only been into Model A's since 2004. I really enjoy hearing about the best ways to torque the head or check the bearing clearances or to set the timing and on and on. What really gets me steaming is when someone asks how do I................? , and half of the responses tell him that's not what "Henry" did, then proceed to tell him he should change it back and they never bother to answer the poor man's original question. If you don't like the question, don't reply to the thread, pure and simple. Just as a point of information, the 5th largest thread on this forum to date with 214 threads and 32,223 views is not a purist's subject at all, it's about installing an F150 four speed transmission in a Model A.

Re: Where Have All The Purists Gone...
Lurking in the shadows for the most part here. Busy with several projects, work and selling on e-bay to get the med bills caught up. Anything that vaguely resembles a Model A I keep out of sight and out of mind so I don't get side tracked. Rod

The Model A's guys seems to have the most passionate followers and opinions. I happen to like them all. Quote:

Last question back to you fellas..... What is truly stopping guys from discussing judged or restored cars ? Guys want to talk judged / restored cars - super - yep I find it enjoyable. Guys want to talk touring / driven cars - super - yep I find that enjoyable. What I don't understand is why does one take away from the other ? Why ? Show car restoration purist...... Touring / Driver........ Isn't all good ? A hand full of members disagreements and people attacking each other for it ruins it for everyone. I can't be the only one that feels that way.
