    I'm looking to piece together a 30 model A body over time and am looking for a good book or manual or exploded drawing to help me in my quest for parts. I have the Ford Model A Mechanics Handbook #1 and though a nice book it really doesn't go into ***embly of the body. Can this be found in volume #2?

    Check out the cl***ifieds... there are always bodies and parts for sale on here... sometimes can pick up the whole body for less than you would piece one together... at least save a bunch of time... I drive about 1700 miles round trip to get mine at the right price and condition...
     
  4. If I remember correctly in the mid to late 90's,Street Rodder had a series of articles at Ron Wheelers place (*****in Products) where an entire model A sedan was taken apart and then re-***embled with new t-moldings and all..................I'm looking for the articles, and will post what I find. d.

    That was the Wingfoot series, if I recall. I never had all of them at one time, but would like to be able to find them all.

    I'd love to have some copies. I'm beginning a model A build. I'd like the opportunity to do some research before I begin.

    Wow that site is great! Ya, I'd like to find a whole body but I'm holding myself to 300 a month for stuff and you can spend that on just a damn door. It's going to take awhile but thats some of the fun, right? Should have started collecting when I was a young pup and they were laying out in the fields.Thanks to all!
