Purchased my first A - 1929 Tudor

[TRP]

Hello,

I introduced myself about a month ago when I first started looking at a barn find out in Chino, CA. That deal stalled out so I started to look elsewhere.

I shared this in my intro thread, last week I located a decently priced runner with solid bones out in Nevada. I took a trip out to see the car and wound up making a deal with the owner.

It should be delivered in a week or so. I know its going to need a new top, the drivers door aligned, and the worst issue is fixing a long term leak at the column support. I will farm that fix out. Reccomendations on anyone near San Jose, CA would be appreciated.





The history on the car is that it was purchased from a long time owner out in Southern California. He was a member of several Model A clubs. The car was toured a bunch and earned a MAFCA 5000 mile touring award. The car runs a C head, 12v electronics, and a Borg Warner overdrive. The gent I purchased it from has owned it since 2011 where he put less than 500 miles on the car since taking ownership. He stated he has never used the overdrive. I will assume the overdrive is inop until otherwise drained and investigated. Any advice on Borg Warner experts in Northern California would also be appreciated.

Let the journey begin!
