Hey all, New guy here also new to Model A's

[ljones44]

First of all, I love Model A's. However, driving a purely stock Model A can be outright dangerous. I know here come the comments. Upgrade the brakes and horsepower, then enjoy the awesome looks from old and young alike. This is an example.

Could you explain your comment that driving a stock Model A can be outright dangerous ?

If you did an edit to the above statement, like:

"Driving ... can be outright dangerous"

then I might go for it.

jones,
Hmm,how is 'hutspa'(?) spelled anyway!
"You might be right, but then again you might be crazy..if a Model A with speed your looking for".
I had one like yours in '75..whew, that was one fun car! Drove it when my 'stock beater A' was down for repair. Got rid of it..tooo fast! Kept the beater A. Don't take this wrong...the whls detract from that beauty.

Eli,
Welcome! Great place to visit for questions/help comaraderie and mello!!

Nah, 700rpm got it right. If the brakes are in proper adjustment they will serve you fine. Horsepower well, there is room for improvment but only if it is necessary for your driving pleasure/safety. Even with increased power the brakes will still do the job they were intended to do.

That's true. Once I parked my Tudor in front of the bank and I saw the guard instinctively place his hand on his holster.

I guess he thought for a moment I was Dillinger. Lucky for me I wasn't going for violin lessons at the music studio next door.
