Four Year Restoration Done!
Finally finished up the 29 coupe! What a journey to say the least. I am still battling the DMV over the original 1929 licence plates I found for it. They want me to have yearly safety inspections, have the highway patrol put a VIN plate on, and pay annual registration fees. Since I had to pay out quite a bit of money for the plates I am going to do it but I am really not happy about it.
A big thanks to everyone for all the help over the years. I could not have done it without your help. Really looking forward to being a proud Model A owner and driver. Thanks!! |

Re: Four Year Restoration Done!
I guess in this respect, wash state is great. I have horseless carriage plates, which is a one time fee. No inspections,although there are restrictions, which don't affect my driving or miles driven. And I drive pretty much weekly all year.

Re: Four Year Restoration Done!
Great restoration, I also love the photo of your young helper. If you ask me, that is the way to get the youth involved in the hobby.

Re: Four Year Restoration Done!
California also does not require annual inspections, which is amazing considering all the other stuff required.

Re: Four Year Restoration Done!
I drove the '29 to DMV in DE yesterday.. nice clear, crisp day, took a back-road to get there.! Windshield wiper (vacuum) and E-brake need some work,
but the experience added a lot of confidence to the undertaking.. next time I know it will pass.! You have a nice looking Coupe.. well-done.! |

Re: Four Year Restoration Done!
Looks great. Getting it done in four years is quite an accomplishment.
"Great restoration, I also love the photo of your young helper. If you ask me, that is the way to get the youth involved in the hobby." Indeed. I bet none of this friends can say that he helped take a car apart and put it all back together again! Last edited by mhsprecher; 11-08-2016 at 11:47 AM. |
