Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
I agree with Mark Maron #17 above . I re-read my post and it didn't come out right . I like both magazines but perfer the articles that explain how the car or parts were as they come from the factory as apposed to the modifications . I have been getting both club magazines for over 35 years and have no plans of dropping anytime soon . Norm

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
But now that it is in print it is now true.
Such boldfaced incorrect info!

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
The repop upper plate I had for a very short time was a total POS.
Thank goodness I had an original SP marked upper plate when I converted BACK to the original Henry Ford design. I like that set up a lot better and don't plan on ever going back. Throw in an A&L condensor and you are off to the races. |

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
Been a MAFCA member since 1962 and have no plans to drop my membership. The "A" people I have met over the years is what makes this such a great hobby.
When asked for my opinion I say the "A" is yours, you do what ever is pleasing to you. All my "A"s have Black Walls, metal valve stems, and black wheels, they sell lots of white wall tires so many people must like them. By the way, I meant my Engine has a counter balanced Crankshaft, not flywheel. Hell to get old !!!! Ron |

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
Exactly the point, now that it is in print, people will quote it thinking it is true when it is not.

Makes you wonder if the Author was just sitting at his PC making up an Article just for the Money.

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
Biggest problem I see with this whole string is there are a lot of people out there that are not members of ether club and have no idea what was in the story in the first place. He is not doing it for the money. Even if he did get paid, how much would the Restorer pay? He does get some things wrong but he is at least trying, how many of you are sitting behind the computer commenting now has ever submitted anything to one of the publications? Maybe you should and we call can gang up and rip it apart.

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
it is not about modifying a car that is up to you. It is about putting out completely false information.
If they want to print a article about modifying a car at least get it right. I have modified cars but I do not call myself the restorer club. |

Re: The Restorer needs to fact check its articles!!!
I too think both magazines are excellent, I do appreciate anyone who is willing to take the time to share knowledge by writing an article. It does help sustain the hobby more so than not.
I would suggest contacting magazine editors or other officers to offer corrections or suggestions, just my opinion
