Default Re: New to me

Just remember - its a "work in progress."

I wouldn't necessarily tear it all down expecting to bring everything up together and reassemble to Ford Showroom Spec.

You run the risk of ending up like me with the car spread out under H*lls half acre in my barn, waiting for the individual pieces to be restored and reassembled.

Life is short - enjoy what you can of the car and take a piece off and work that piece up. Any single task on a Model A is good (usually) for a weekend of work at the most - meanwhile you get satisfaction from "correcting problems" and seeing a sensible improvement.

Do this for a couple of years and after that "you have a pretty good car."
