Usually the problem loading pix is they are either the wrong file type or too large. A jpeg less than 500 kb will load every time.

BTW, I would never lift an A on the radius rods. Use the frame or the axles.

we have to put to car back wards on the lift the from is lifted on the frame rails. the read is on the links to axel.. this is the only way out lift will work with the car. it not limiting on the radius rods in the front. it took a couple hours to get it right.

You are risking damage to the radius rods.

Congrats!! Given the history of the car and an odometer reading of 47,000 miles can be a good indicator of an original car. If so, your A is most valuable in original condition. If it is an original car, I would make sure all of the mechanicals are in good working order and leave the rest of the car as is. Just give the car a good cleaning and enjoy it. JMO

P.S. I agree lifting the car by the radius rods is not safe. Use the frame rails.....

I can build a rear end faster than loading any pictures, I took many pictures of the Ford Plant on Classen and 1st St in Oklahoma City over Christmas, have pictures of the upper portion of the columns with letters and numbers on them, "Must Try Harder"
I guess.

Hello from another new guy. Just inherited a 1927 Model T and 1928 A and I’m as green as they come about these types of automobiles. Looking forward to learning more from some local owners this spring.
