Re: Finding a nice Model A

I would bet many As were sold as black. Black was a common car color that was easily touched up when needed.

Re: New Eaton Spring or re-arch existing

I guess it is who does the work. I had very good luck doing my saggy '66 Mustang rears. I had them work them up so I had 1" over stock height at the bumper, and just a bit stiffer to aid cornering....

Re: New Eaton Spring or re-arch existing

Eaton Detroit will give you a new spring and re-arching will give you a like new spring. Flip a coin. Of course rebuilding the original spring is dependent on its general condition.

Re: Beam from front to back

Re: water pump impeller

A modern machine shop can fab one for you. Or maybe 3D printing.

Re: Beam from front to back

No need to be afraid of this combo. The oil is from grass grown in the soil and the turpentine is from trees grown in the same soil, or maybe close by.

Re: Beam from front to back

Re: Replace rear motor mounts

A small bottle jack and 2X4 is all that is needed to spread the frame enough to do the job easily.
