Sarah is back home and.........
she looks MARVELOUS!!! New whitewalls, repainted wheels, new shocks, rides like a dream!!! Nothing left to do now except hit the open (two-lane) roads. Tomorrow is bath and wax day and start loading up for border duty.

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
My front street is totally under water and I only have three streets. Not expected to crest until the 12th.

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
sounds like you need to create the first "waterbug" kit, attach pontoons and install paddlewheels!

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
I'm sure you will come up with something. Can't go another winter without something.

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
Mitch, even Gina got in on the repairs this time, she did work on the wheels. Honestly, just my opinion, of all the antique and classic cars Larry has, she loves my Sarah the most!!!

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
Unless I have a major breakdown, nothing major is left unless I want to put in an overdrive. I doubt if I will. I'll just cruise on down the two-laners like days of old.

I know the depth when I have to get to high ground and the Corps of Engineers website is always just a click away. Now that my Polly had passed, the river can have everything else except Sarah, I'll just throw a bag in the rumble and drive on out of town.

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
AAA will be on my semaphore speed dial when it comes to a flat tire....it took me as long to mount the spares as it did to wax all of Sarah. What a task. They are back on but half deflated...had to completely deflate them to get them back into the wheel wells.

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
Well fellas and you too few gals.......Sarah is all shined up, gassed up and I've loaded up her rack.
The only thing left now is slide back into uniform, load up the old duffle bag, a couple of suit cases, my clubs, send Tom a telegram and head on down the road to San Angelo. When that time comes I let you know with a "hasta la vista...baby"!!!!. I dug out some old photos of Tom and me I'll post also, you'll get a kick out of us young whippersnappers down on the Border back in 16.

Re: Sarah is back home and.........
Ed, How about a picture or two of Sarah's newly painted wheels and 'Sugar Donuts' (White Walls).

Tom doesn't have a Model A but he told me his grandson does.

OH!! She is a beauty, but someone left some rubbish on the trunk rack, and the Foxtail belongs on the antenna.

I enjoy horses more than the A, except when they kick back! I also respect the horse cavalry, very noble calling. Thanks you for your service. |

Having cowboyed in Montana, I agree, cows are the dumbest creatures on the face of the earth, they never go where you want them too!!!
