I, for myself, can say that Paul has done a lot for getting me interested in Model As and has prepared me a great deal.


Thank you, Paul!

Arrow Model A tech advisors team from Paul Shinn

I met Paul and his wife last
Spring when he recommended
me to transport “ The General “
to it’s new owner back East.

He is knowledgable - courteous
and highly respected in
The Model A Family.

Anyone interested in Model A’s
should subscribe to his YouTube channel.

The General ….

Thank you for the love! Hey, Just doing my part to help turn around the trend of the hobby shrinking or dying. I am merely a servant with undefiled enthusiasm. No ego, no gatekeeping, just a guy trying to help another guy.

Was sure a pleasure to meet Jim and see his custom hauler setup. I can see why he has so many fans.

Thumbs up Model A tech advisors team from Paul Shinn

Hi Paul

I am leaving Florida for Oklahoma
to provide coverage on social media
for the 34th Spring Chickasha
Pre War Swap Meet on
March 15th & 16th.




Turning The Wheel - Giving Back.

You upload videos to YouTube
for the good of the hobby.

Your manner is direct.

You extend a hand in friendship
not with your palm up to
have it greased.

I hope we meet again and
perhaps next time I can buy
a meal for you and your wife.

Hopefully I will also be able
to cover The Spring Pre War
Swap Meet at Famoso Speedway
just outside Bakersfield in May.

My friend Jim Holguin in Tulare
was asked to manage the entire
event by the owners and set aside
a section for Pre War Vendors.





Stay healthy & busy ….


Jim

Many of the questions answered by [email protected]
appear in The Restorer magazine on the Tech Q&A page
so that all can see the questions and answers.

I too have Paul to thank for getting me interested in Model A's... and Model T's as a matter of fact. He did a video comparing the two cars. I find his videos easy to relate to. Now, I just need to get my Son interested in these old relics so I can have someone to pass them down to. Last time I checked, I can't take them with me, but I'll keep checking.

I find the questions and answers posted here to be very helpful as I slowly work on my two 28 phaetons. But I really like Paul's videos as well. As someone has already noted, it is good to actually see how something is done as opposed to read how it is done! I have also quite liked Tina and Paul's "Q&A of the day" videos on her channel. Short, interesting, and you just about always learn something!

All we need to do is get her one of those $10 Bluetooth microphones so we can hear her.
