Re: Model-A Swap Meet - Greenwood, SC

Re: Model-A Swap Meet - Greenwood, SC

I was going to take a load of Model A parts today but am switching to going tomorrow since the weather reports called for thunderstorms. Of course, this morning it is clearing up with the sun poking...

Re: MAC's & Cartouche

I happen to have a 7-8 yard roll of Bedford Cord brown if that happens to be what you are looking for. My guess is you are looking for the tan.

Stipe's

Re: 30/3.5 tires

Re: Need help diagnosing sound from start up.

Goodcar you mention an important item: the braided ground cable. I worked on a car recently that we were scratching our heads on why it wouldn't turn over, let alone start. Finally replaced the...

Re: Which Model A parts are not Available/ Being made anymore.

With all that is going on with the "supply chain," I have come to realize just how good we had it before the pandemic. Can't get the cam I want, can't get the lifters I want, not to mention A+L...

Re: What color is this 31 Victoria??
