Best to join a club and get direct help from the members. Do you have the new interior kit? They should also have the instructions. I don't know of any book that can help as much as club members, but there are at least 5 good books for every Model A owner to have.

!. Owner's manual
2. Service Bulletins
3. Restoration Guidelines
4. The Model A Ford, as Henry Built it
5. Geez, what was the fifth one?

Well, you have the Paint and Finish Guide, Les Andrew's Shop Manual, etc.

There are two major national Model A clubs.

MAFCA has chapters, These are the ones in Il. https://www.mafca.com/chapters/IL.html
MARC has regions, http://modelarestorers.org/newsmanag...%204-20-13.pdf

There are vendors like Mikes and Brattons and Snyders that have well illustrated catalogs should be of help.

This is what I do on my Mac. I save the pic to my desktop in the lowest resolution setting. The go to 'advance', type my message and then scroll down to where it says 'manage attachment'. Click on it and a second window pops up. It will then let you browse you desktop, applications etc. Look for that picture(s) and click upload. After it is done (it may take awhile) I hit close this window and submit. If it says upload failed it may mean the file size is to big.

You can also use programs like photobucket where you can copy and paste the picture or URL. into the body of your message. Hope this helps.

Mike

photobucket.com has always worked well for me. No resizing necessary.
