    Man, what a buzzkill. Now the car looks topheavy without the 32 rails, like a 600lb woman wearing Stilettos.:(

    Looks way better than 90% of the Model A sedans being built...slammed on the ground looking like a 600lb woman on a broken chair.

    Well I should just take them and if you ever find a 32, I'll buy you some different ones. Plus that'll keep you from changing direction again and taking it back apart!

    Your A is turning out great. Are you still making progress on your fatfendered coupe?

    I'm in favor of organizing a garage tour/ reliability run in KC area, hell yes.

    Do you have a closer shot of front of the motor. Is yours the long crank? How far back are you motor mounts to the radiator mount holes. Did this cause any fit problems with the cowl?

    I was driving Rods before there were "Wat Wods", Street Rods or any other of the sub-categories. There were just Hot Rods (racer-delinquents) and Sleds (cruiser - delinquents). Everyone got along but snickered at the other's choice.
    Run what ya brung and don't sweat what is "correct" or "traditional"! What*****!
    I maintain if Henry Ford had technology for an alternator he would have used them.
    (Now I know the Fact Finders will spend the rest of the day searching to correct me by saying the 1921 Fiat Lavatori DeLux had an alternator.)
