jcfox,

Another invaluable resource for new owners is a local Model A club...trust me on that one. Here's a link to our club in the DC area:

Re: Which vendor do you buy from?

Bratton's primarily...they have most of what I've needed so far (and they are close, so I get the parts very quick). I've also used Mac's for a couple of items...no complaints.

Back in the days when I worked in a marina, we used a spray-on vinyl paint to restore/re-color vinyl seats on older boats that we were trying to sell. It worked...to an extent. I remember that the...

Re: I"m back ! (finally)

You probably hit CTRL + B when you meant to hit Shift + B to capitalize the B in "Best Buy"...CTRL+B is a way to quickly switch between bold/regular font in many applications.

Re: 28, 29, Or Both?

I had the same conversation with myself when I brought mine home...late 28 Sport Coupe body (mostly) with 29 frame and 30 engine. I decided to stay as close to 28 as possible.

Re: 7 degrees - one minor complaint

Re: shocks

Before Hershey, I was on the fence about getting on the wait list. In the end, I decided that I wanted to rebuild my own...at least try. Hope I didn't make the wrong choice.
