I enjoy experimenting with "period-correct" upgrades and accessories for two reasons. First, most of the actual history of the Model A is the history of everything people did with the cars after they left the factory – and that includes modifying them to suit individual purposes. I like learning about which functions people wanted to improve and the often ingenious engineering they used to improve them. That leads to my second reason, which is that doing upgrade projects is an excellent way to learn-by-doing the basics of internal combustion engineering and physics.

So my modifications have been a combination of solving specific problems (mostly safety) and tinkering for the purpose of my own education.
