Default Re: So, ...how many Model-As can actually do the 'Three S's reliably?

I've watched a number of his videos.

My car was frame off re-build with 2 exceptions as money wasn't plentiful; steering box and rear end were left to "lets see how they drive, seem OK now."

The steering problem turned out to be the not the box but the pitman-sector connection and the sector housing moving on the frame. The read end differential so far is fine.

My brakes work fine, but they feel a little like they 'stretch' on firm application. Steering is vibration free at every speed, tracks like any modern car. About 3/4" play at the rim. Starting, if I run it frequently is good. Let it sit 3 months and ... not so much. It cranks slow, at first I was told the engine seals were tight and would break in, I'm now suspecting poor ground or weak cable.

I'm also running with no shocks. Don't seem to need 'em. I have the 4 originals, but so far it hasn't been worth the trouble/expense to rebuild and put them on.
