Re: Cracked Head - Yikes.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions Mitch. The radiator is usually good. Occasionally it will bubble out if I'm not paying attention going up a hill. Other times it would leak where the tubes...

Cracked Head - Yikes.
Hey guys,
I've been sort of MIA for a while, my car's been running great, and I sort of stopped checking in on the posts day to day to limit how much I was spending on improvements to the car. I...

Re: Car Club
Hey LSJUNIPER when does the club meet? I've seen them at the Woodstock Fair a few years, and always mean to join but never do. The people I've met have all been really cool.

Re: CT Model T&A Show at the Cider Mill
Let's see how the next few weeks go, but if I can find a way to get it over this side of the river and it's running well, we can maybe cruise down together (if you're interested). Safety in numbers!...

Re: CT Model T&A Show at the Cider Mill
You'd take yours down Rt 8? That terrifies me! I'm used to driving the quiet corner, with mostly two lane, 45 mph roads.
Are you driving down from New Britain?

I got the hinge mount mirrors of Brattons. They work great. I bought the tool from them also since I was having trouble getting the door pins out. It's essentially a C-clamp which you tighten down...

Re: Does anyone use this?
Interesting. I was told by someone that I consider a "Model A Expert" that I should be using oil for diesel oil since it had the zinc in it. Thanks for passing this on!
