Re: Model A Huckster Group
These are just my thoughts: You, even with the engine Mods and a good tail wind, only have about 40 horsepower up front. A stock engine has a hard time pulling a car with overdrive. They will tend...

Re: '32 toeboard ?
Thanks for all the replys. I down loaded the PDF, jerseyboy. And, even though I am running a steel #1 and #2 floorboard, I can use the plans as a guide for filling the gaps.

'32 toeboard ?
What did Henry do to plug/cover the two large gaps that are on the left and right side of the stock toeboard? I can come up with something but, curious as to what was there.

Re: Progressive linkage
Sorry, I didn't notice that you had already been in contact with Flathead Jack. I have his top of the line linkage on 3 97's and it is very nice. And, it works.
