Default Hello - From New Guy

I wanted to say hello as I just joined the forum. I've been thinking about Model A's for a number for years and just decided to buy one. It's actually a Model AA based Doodelbug! We have a small farm and decided to get a machine which could do a little work - and also just have fun! She's built on a AA frame with a 28/29 worm drive rear-end and a 30/31 4spd transmission and the 6.00x20 28/29 wire wheels.


I know I'll have some questions, but for now, I wanted to say Hello! and load up some pictures!

Welcome aboard!
There are a number of good model A clubs in CT.
We are one of them: http://www.fairfieldcountymodela.club

Check out the link we have for the Cider mill Model A & T car show listed under Upcoming Club Events. It would be well worth the drive for you.
