Default It's about time

It's abou time I posted my introduction. Hello, My name is Randy in illinois, and I've been a model A enthusist for a long time. I belonged to MARC in the 70's- 80's but had to put my car aside as my kids grew up and got them through college. After a bout with cancer I registered on the FB , but never posted my intro. I apoligize. The FB inspired me to tinker with my model A again. and is a good source of information, suggestions and opinions from experts, skilled craftsman, an fellow hobbyist and has inspired me to enjoy model A ing again.

Randy,

Welcome back! I hope you find the hobby as fun and rewarding as it was when you were in it before. Hope you make it up to the new Model A Ford museum, it will be holding the grand opening May 18th, in Hickory Corners MI. You should see a lot of Model As in and around the area that day.

Welcome Randy. I have had my 30 Tudor for about 8 years & can't count how many times I've asked for advice on this forum & it was always answered by thoughtful "A" owners. Great site, I hope you enjoy!

Glad he is back.
