Also this summer while tuning it up i found that the po had the coil wired backwards. I wasnt sure if that damaged the old coil so i put on a pertronix epoxy filled unit and man did it make a difererence.

My longest drive this summer was 2.5 hours and it ran great.

I am a new member as well...with my first A - 1929 Special Coupe.
Did not want a project, so found one ready for the open road

Welcome! Coupes are fun and having the rumble seat for your girls is great! Looking forward to seeing you out on tours and involved in the hobby!

Thanks, it does look good next to my black f1


It looks nice next to my summer daily driver too


Not so much my winter daily driver. The a makes it look like a complete junker

Love that F1. Reminds me of when I was still in high school and worked as a plumber's helper during summertime, drove his beat-up F1 panel with lots of miles on it and overloaded with pipes and equipment...never let us down!
