Last fall I bought a Model A on a ‘32 frame. It had a ‘V’ style spreader bar when I bought it but I didn’t care for the look so I got a straight...
I don’t know if I’ve changed or the magazine has changed- probably both. But it no longer holds any appeal to me. I won’t be re-subscribing.
That’s not a bad idea and one I hadn’t considered. I had thought of turning the rotors to take a little meat off of both sides. I like the idea of...
Interesting. Were the ones you bought remanufactured originals or new castings? Amazon had two different brands of calipers available for the...
Tried the Amazon Chinese calipers- didn’t work. The Amazon Chinese new castings were physically larger than the original Ford calipers. There...
Thanks for your efforts. Right now I’m leaning towards just changing them out entirely. I think I’ll get in touch with Quick Performance and see...
I appreciate the thought but I’ve checked O’reilleys. They are not available for pickup or delivery. I’m guessing you may have mistakenly searched...
Excellent. I will be very interested to see that.
I tend to agree with that. I was actually a little disappointed when I saw this car had rear disc brakes. Then I discovered it was a factory...
That’s a good thought. If I were keeping the original brakes I think I would need to use a remanufactured pair of originals as the new aftermarket...
What are people doing on their Lincoln Versailles rear axles when they need new brakes? I recently bought a Model A with a Versailles rear end...
Hey everyone- thanks for the replies and suggestions. I do really appreciate the people that offered helpful input on that topic. I’m especially...
I recently bought this Model A sedan. One thing I’m dying to change are these awful LED trailer lights someone put in. Unfortunately the taillight...
Thank you so much, gimpyshotrods- that’s exactly what I needed and I hadn’t factored in the consideration of the hinges. I really appreciate it!
I’m looking at buying a 1928/29 Model A cowl. This is an item I found online and the seller is very slow at returning messages and very bad at...

Wow! So you’re the guy that bought that body. Makes sense it would show up here. Congratulations! For the week or two before you bought it I was...
Thank you! I had also considered painting it flat black if I had to replace with an aluminum model. It definitely helps conceal the modern look of it,
Any chance you happen to remember the part number you used or possibly what the application was? I saw a video of a guy using a 52 Ford truck...
How did this work out for you? I just noticed the radiator on my ‘52 98 is leaking. I’m looking for some options…

Thanks all! I really appreciate the quick replies and helpful knowledge. Mark, that Outlaw clone is amazing. I don’t think we’ve met but your...
Hi all- I’m needing a little help here. I’m trying to ID the source of this piece if anyone can help. I’ve been carrying it around for a couple...
I believe these parts came from of a 1948-1952 Ford truck but they do look pretty universal. Good candidate for vintage trailer build for behind...

Wow, good eye, Rich. That makes sense.
Hey Rich, Thanks for the reply and the positive ID. I remember discussing F1 brakes with you when I was building my Model A. Unfortunately the...
Thank you for your reply and all of the information. I appreciate the time it took to supply that. I agree that it would be nice to see some...
Hey all, I’m looking for some help getting a positive ID on a pair of old Bendix backing plates I found while cleaning out my garage. I have a...
