The purpose of this post is to collect tips for Model "A's." Post your tips to keep this thread going.

o Gear Shift Rust Protection: Slip a piece of clear PVC tubing over the gear shift to keep it from corroding where it comes into contact with the driver's leg.

o Loose Hub Cap: Wrap waxed string between the cap and the wheel to snug a loose hub cap so both ends of the string protrude. Secure the string by tieing a square not, and clip the protruding ends.

o Pull the back window shade down to prevent reflections on the windshield while driving at night.

o Dome Light Ground: Dome lights mounted in wood are poorly grounded. Add a ground wire from the metal light body to a body bolt to assure the light will work.
