Default Hello from Arizona

Just wanted to introduce myself and my 1929 Roadster. I'm currently replacing the front brakes with new drums/shoes. Also replacing the old 7 tooth steering gearbox with a Randy Gross F-100 box. My first memory in life was riding in a Model A Tudor.

Thanks!

Being from Arizona, your go-to parts supplier (and source of great advice) is Sammy Guthrie at Arizona Model A. He is in Chandler.

There is a great Model A club in Phoenix. Contact Marlies Plaggenborg at [email protected] or 508-361-3817. The club is the Model A Restorers Club of Arizona, a chapter of the MAFCA. www.marcofaz.shutterfly.com


I corrected the contact and updated the information.

"Arizona Model A" is Sammy Guthrie's business, if you were talking to me.
