31tudor giving thanks!
I want to give a VERY big thanks to those friends who helped me build my car.I bought the car in June 2000. Original chassis, Jag rearend, dropped axle with some weird ass disc brake setup (I think VW), top already chopped and filled, etc. I had my plan

The 31's first cruise!
One of the local rod clubs had a cruise today. We gathered downtown and drove about 45 miles up into the mountains for a BBQ at a cabin. About 20 cars in all, and Victoria snapped some great photos! Drove over 100 miles in the car with NO PROBLEMS! I

Where's Shine?
It's been a little quiet around here lately... until we got all wrapped up in politics, but where's Shine? I haven't seen him post for a week or two. Everything okay in Bluffdale buddy? Did another UFO appear and commandeer Inderweed and you for a pilo

Finally On The Road!!!
Here's a little video that I've been wanting to post. Took it last night while driving my '41. I'll begin by apologizing for the crappy video quality, sound, fingers in front of the lens, etc., etc., etc.My dad and my good friend Aaron were in the A Bon

Scary Night, Long Day!
Victoria hasn't been feeling too well for a little while and last night she had a lot of stomach pains. She's like most of us, she never wants to go to the doctor! I got a few winks of sleep, she didn't get ANY!Finally at 6:00am today she agreed to go t

1949-50 Olds headlight bezels?
I'd like to put a pair of '49-50 Oldsmobile headlight bezels on the wife's '48 Chevy pickup. I've scoured the internet and can't find anything for sale, used or reproduction. Even tried Year One but they don't make Olds stuff that early. I figure I'll

Chunkies in the gas tank
I knew going in that I'd have quite a bit of maintenance using the stock Model A gas tank, but this is ridiculous. I could see down in the tank that there was a lot of scale and crap sitting on the bottom of the tank so I ran a piece of hose from the pet

Choosing temp sender?
I have a set of three gauges of unknown origin or manufacture. The volt and oil gauges seem to work perfectly, but I have no idea what to buy for a temp sender. How could I test the gauge to know what resistance of temp sender to buy?

Major progress
My 8 year old Austin decided that his birthday present to me would be for ME to take the day off of work and he'd help me all day with the Model A. He convinced my dad to do the same, and our good friend Dave Watson came over to help too. So with the fo

What's a California title worth?
Well I guess it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, right? Since I ditched the original A chassis, I had a sheriff over last night to give me some instruction on VIN verification and such. Long story short, it's a HUGE P.I.T.A. to have re

Mounting electric fan?
I have a Walker radiator that came with a Spal fan mounted to it. The fan was mounted with plastic fasteners that go into the radiator's fins, but don't protrude through the front. This is a Model A, remember.Well a long time ago I didn't have enough ro

GM ignition switch removal?
My '31 has a tilt column out of a Pontiac Fiero. The ignition key is in the switch, stuck. The key will turn from the accessory to the start position freely, but will not come back to the lock position so I can't get the key out. I also can't lock the
