Re: Original interior?
It's not an original interior, but it looks very presentable. I would leave it as is. If you have a copy of the Restoration Guidelines all the factory interior materials are listed for each Model A...

Re: Fatigue Cracks In Model "A" Parts
Bob, this is a picture of a cracked radiator neck from the top tank. You can see the daylight shining through the crack. Since this is under the radiator shell, it makes it hard to spot.

Thanks for the report Stuart. I have put on over 120K mile on my model A and during that time I have had one spring break and one bolt fall out. I don't think that is all that bad for the miles...

Re: rear wheel stud installation
My local auto machine shop has the tools in house to that work, maybe you could check around your area to find a shop that can do this job for you.

Re: Ford Model A engine noise
Sounds like a vacuum leak between the carb and manifold. If you have a Tillotson carb the flange can warp, you can use a flat file on the carb to smooth it out and a new gasket should help.

Re: Preston “ALL VEHICLES” Antifreeze
How about your local autoparts store, they should have some brand of GREEN ethylene glycol (which is an IAT opposed to OAT/HOAT compound) antifreeze.

Re: 1/2” Bendix
The issue is that it is not a Bendix starter drive, the 1/2" shaft used an Able starter drive which are not available. Easier to change to a starter with a 5/8" drive.
