Default Re: Proud new owner of Model AA

Welcome to the club! I can't answer the value question but I can answer to the fact that you will find many ways to enjoy the car on tours. I would recommend a couple of things:

1) Cast iron drums
2) An over drive so that you can drive her much more easily

For a bed you might consider looking at the 'commercial body' thread and put on something unique like a large mug of rootbeer. Something, that really stands out.

That would be cool, I saw that someone had a Standard Oil tanker on one! I might go with an express bed, If I can find one cause its sorta like a 1929 F-350 lol

My personal experience is that stock AA braking is just fine, even when loaded up.
You don't need an overdrive, 40 is fast enough in an AA unless you have a pile of wheels and tires to play with to find some that run perfectly true, otherwise your front fenders will be shaking like a gorilla on a coconut tree as you near 50 mph on a downhill grade. Most guys are just happy to find rims that aren't rotted out, any wobble they might have is way down the list when searching for good AA wheels. That's the main reason I think an OD in an AA isn't worth fooling with. Enjoy the ride and to hell with the guy behind you.
