Fred,

I help out when I can ...

I donated mileage to get an original Center Door
to the MTFCA Museum in Richmond, IN ....

You never know who is going to win, it looks like I will
be in Texas around auction time.

Check is in the mail. Thanks for the opportunity to get in on this raffle.

Thanks 29restorod. When your money arrives I will email you with a list of all your ticket numbers. Hopefully you'll be the lucky guy and get the call on June 8.

Update: We have had several questions submitted about buying multiple ticket lots, meaning if you can buy one ticket for $5 or five tickets for $20 - yes, $40 would buy 10 tickets, $60 buys 15 tickets, $80 buys 20 tickets, etc. The more you buy the better your odds.
Thanks,
Fred

lookin-backtexas · 05-23-2013, 05:46 PM

As of right now, we've gotten entries from 25 different states and three foreign countries. We've had entries from Texas, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois, Mississippi, Wisconsin, California, South Carolina, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Alaska, Massachusetts, Florida, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Canada, Mexico and believe it or not, New Zealand!

Hey, someone's gotta win it and it might as well be you. There's still time to stick a stamp on an envelope and slip $20 inside and make it to Texas before the drawing June 8. You can't win unless you enter!

Aaron, I'll email you to confirm receipt of your payment and let you know your ticket numbers as soon as it gets here. Do I put you down as Montana or Washington?

Thanks, Washington is fine. I included email, phone, address and it went out yesterday. The handle (screen name) is a hold over from a ford truck forum I"ve been on for many years - going back to the days I still lived in Montana.

Got my five chances several weeks ago. Need some luck as the Leatherback I just bought needs an engine. Badly repaired stud with crack into water passage. Had lots of water in pan at one time. It ran pretty good but I do not see how.

Not much luck so far with the first A.

"Had lots of water in pan at one time. It ran pretty good but I do not see how."

I've always been amazed that many original Model A engines still ran even though they were severely abused over the years; infrequent oil changes, ran on white gas or kerosene during the depression, etc. Just goes to show you how well Henry built 'em!

Chris Haynes · 05-31-2013, 10:09 AM

I sent you a check through my banks Bill Pay. The only place you will see my name and address is on the check. You should have it by today.

Hi Chris:
The mailman just dropped it off here.

I emailed you directly through the AA truck forum with your ticket numbers.

Thanks,
Fred
