I do appreciate the help.............

[31 Model A]

learned a lot, a lot more than what I knew a few weeks ago both here and behind the scenes. It has become a bit apprehensive to ask for info or clarification on subjects that are no doubt a bit controversial where there are different views. I think it best not to ask but to just read here and there.

Cheers

Ed,
i thought all your questions were good, i for one am glad you post thats what its all about. the site has to many lurkers for whatever reason i am not sure.

[mshmodela]

Ed,

You need not be apprehensive; you're a new owner with a lot of enthusiasm and that's just fine. It's a given that anyone new to anything will ask questions that some have asked before --I've surely done so as an 8 month owner. I try to read or search out as best I can but one thing I've discovered is that as owners are different, our cars over 83+ years had several owners and changes over those years resulting in cars that not the same either... so asking a lot of questions is a given.

Keep on Asking,

[Fred K-OR]

Ed, don't worry about what you post. Go for whatever you want to know something about. It gives us old guys something to do when we sit around our computers and have nothing to do. Yes you do get some very caustic remarks being critical of a simple question but who cares. You also get some very worthwhile comments that are not written in the many books available for Model A's. So ask away and let the comments flow!

hey fred ask away, it wont take you long to figure out who the idiots are, just don't open there posts, ask any thing you want and 99% of the guys here will give you an answer, just ignore the stupid ones and there posts

The only dumb question is the one you are afraid to ask.
I have worked on cars most of my life, I too am new to the Model A, loving every question and answer. Ask away

[Y-Blockhead]

Ed, being a relatively new guy myself, I can relate to what your saying. Some guys chastise you because they feel you're not doing any research.

I learn from reading other's questions and answers though so please continue to ask. Maybe you'll ask a question I have not thought of? Or about something I'm not interested in at the moment but probably will be down the road. Then we'll both learn...

I've been in the car hobby for ~50 years, mostly 50-60's cars, but this is my first A and I'll tell you they are different in a lot of ways.

Ed, stick around. A lot of good info on here and after a while you will learn who to listen to and who to skip over. Some people communicate a little differently sometimes. But you seem to have a good sense of humor and as far as I am concerned, that is a necessity. Good luck.

Ask away, that is what this forum is for.

Ed -
Pls don't go dark just because of a couple of snappy answers. Thought the seat belt thread you started was important after that terrible crash in Texas. I read all the pros and cons and appreciated hearing the thinking behind choices people make.

Other posts of yours have made me LOL. Great sense of humor!

I'm a Newbie. Have found this site really helpful. Need you to keep asking questions - even "controversial" ones - so we all can continue to learn from the gurus.

I'm still very much here..............parts came in early for Sarah and I've been playing mechanical genius.

Wolf whistle is gone and ready to ship out to someone who needs it more than me to flatter the ladies...I don't need anything to do that.

Sarah's new look:




Remember how she use to look when she arrived?




While I was at it, Brent had mentioned how much he like the whitewalls so I took some time and gave them a clean so he could really admire them!!!!!!!!!!!



And I'd like to say, I found a way, which most here I'm sure already knew and waited for me to find out accidentally, the spare tire lug nut bolts tap right out leaving a free unobstructed removal from the tire well.

More parts are due in tomorrow that will help me hone in on my mechanical skills and..................I found mechanic who's dying to do some work on an A, he mostly has done muscle cars and he has a shop.

and.............someone sent me a PM saying he/she was Santa and that he/she will be bringing Sarah some seatbelts. Isn't life great????????????

Cheers..............

Looks good, Ed. Not knocking your car but looks like the PO could have done a better job of masking off items before painting the fire wall. Appears he even painted the coil wire and junction box??

[tbirdtbird]

i must have missed something
carry on

[1931 flamingo]

Nice looking car Ed.

Keep asking the questions.

That's an understatement, hard telling the reason why it was done like that..............it's on my list to redo the junction box and a few other items too

Thanks again....no recommendation goes without consideration, some of it's common sense, some is personal preference....all is heeded.

[Nabco]

Ed, it looks like you pulled the air filter off her too, I did the same thing with Sister and she seems to run way better, even sounds better....what are your thoughts since pulling it off?
