The Ford Barn

Steve Plucker · 02-01-2013, 11:21 AM

I have posted this before and thought I would post it again.

There are many of you out there, some on these forums, some not, that have very good knowledge and skills and ideas about restoring, in this instance, Model A Ford parts (could be anything really) that could benifit the hobby if shared with the membership of both MARC and MAFCA.

But to do that, one would have to sit down and write a restoration article and submit it to either MARC (Model A News) or MAFCA (The Restorer) for publication.

I understand if there is one good method of restoration...there is always another one out there with a better idea or process.

It is great to see some of these ideas and process mentioned here on Fordbarn and Ahooga from time to time...but think about sharing your ideas with the total membership...plus you would not only be contributing to the hobby but will help out MARC and MAFCA with those needed restoration articles that would be benifiting the national clubs.

OK...OK...So you think that you can't or are no good at writing articles...Well, for those of you who present your knowledge and ideas here seem real good to me plus the two editors of both national clubs (MARC and MAFCA) are super great people and are very much willing to help each and everyone of you with your subbmission.

So pass along your knowledge to help those in the future.

Thanks.

Could you clairify what would be acceptable? "Perfect" show car work only, or would driver quality be worth reading about? Bob

Does anyone have DVDs available for use at monthly meetings restoration tech sessions (other than what MAFCA has for sale)?

I'm here to enjoy the hobby, and enjoy the cars no matter what they look like. Most of the worlds problems are electrical.
