Default Re: New to me

I will second what Joe said. Get it running and drive it for a while. Fix one thing at a time.

First order of business is to assure that the car is safe. Tires, steering, brakes, lights, seat belts, turn indicators, safety glass, etc. You live in a crowded area so safety is more important than a more remote area. There are lots of good Model A clubs in the New York area and I would advise joining one or two. Once you get it running, go on some tours as a shake down cruise.

Getting a new to you antique car is always exciting.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
