It will be some time before we actually start our Barndo (got to sell what we have) but if the attachments come through, this is close to what we are looking at. The footprint will be a little...

Tow Dolly

Re: Abandoned roadster

Is it just me or do you try to see into every old barn you pass that has a door open? I often see cars that aren't there but I can't help but keep looking.

Re: VANPELT Transmission School - 2 weeks away!

Would you have a video of the process you go through in the class? I bought the parts I needed from you along with the book but a video would sure make me feel better.

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?

My truck is an early 30 and has the square back. No expert but I'm wondering if there is less room in the square body? I'm tall and I have a hard time just getting into mine.

Re: off topic OLD fob watch

Is there any information on the make of the watch? Does it match any country in the area or conflict?

Re: Convert my 28 Roadster Pick up to a convertible??

The original top is not meant to be taken off so you will have to remove the fasteners where it attaches behind the seat. I put removable fasteners on mine to make it easier to remove.

Re: Spring Is Time To Service Your Model A Trailer Brakes - Here Is A Smoking Good De

I work for a major trailer manufacturer and can confirm that your price is very good. I'm sure like ours, all the components are made in China but I guess that is the world we live in.
