Hi Mitch I just got a PM from Barry B. He's having trouble accessing this site so he can post. He went thru the registration process (had a heck of a time I guess, he's sharp but about 78) but he can't access to post. Evidently he got a message confirming he was registered. Can you help (I know you can)??
Maybe xfer his avatar over from the Barn also?
Paul

[Mitch]

All is well on this end.. He probably needs a little tutoring

Avatar is done!!!

I emailed him for his phone number and will do whatever it takes to get him going..
thanks for the heads up

Hi Baileyiii and welcome
Your best bet would be to start a new thread in the main Model A discussion forum. If you need help email me [email protected]

[Kevin84]

Hello everyone, I'm Kevin 84 (and that's my name and my age) so I didn't figure many people would have that to sign in with. I'm a Model A lover and have had a few in my more physical days, but have been looking for one and finally made the leap and I'm really glad to join this group. I'm looking forward to joining in and learning on this Forum. I purchased a 1930 2-door coupe with Rumble Seat and looks like it's had a frame off older restoration but it is a beauty. It does need some work, steers worse than a truck so will be asking and looking for information on that if you will allow me to.

[DaWizard]

Hey Kevin, WELCOME to the VFF!!

[Mitch]

Welcome Kev to the VFF

Post away this place is full of experts to help you out. Feel free to start new threads in the main A forum anytime.

Hello Vintage Ford Forum. New Member. Jeff Dupuis.
Thank You Mitch for creating a new venue of Old Car conversations. And to your "Dad" the great Bill Williamson for informing me of your new forum. I hope to absorb lots of information here as well as add some of my knowledge (as limited as it my be) to this great forum.
I do recognize some names here, and look forward to future correspondence with all that are involved in this group.
In the meantime I'll be catching up on past conversations by trying to read alot of the older postings.
Jeff
keep your stick on the ice!

[Mitch]

Welcome Jeff to the VFF.!!

I kept telling DAD to give you and some others a heads up, so i am glad that he is listening. Don't sell yourself short, because from what i remember you have your own extensive knowledge base on these cars. If you need any help with forum issues i am always available to assist. Feedback is also appreciated and acted on, because this is the peoples forum. Maybe i'll send Dad a full box of Afterburner coffee as payment lol

[DaWizard]

Welcome Hugh! You will like it here: many, many years of experience here and a willingness to share it.

[copgib]

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I am new to the Model A scene and I am starting with a Model A that needs alot of work but it is one of my new hobbies now. Hugh

This forum has alot experience from many aspects of life. I am sure we will have questions that you will be able to shine light on.
Thank You, for joining our diverse group.
I look forward to hearing more about your car and your learning curve with it.
Jeff

[copgib]

Jeff I am probably in a different situation than alot of others on this board. I am trying to bring alive a 1930 Model A that was stored in a shed for 25-years. Numerous problems but trying to tackle one problem at a time. Look forward to talking with you! Hugh

[Mitch]

Hugh post any questions in the general A area. Your actually in a very familiar situation that many have dealt with.

[JDupuis]

Just found your response Hugh.
I woke up an A after a 47 year slumber.

[Hank B]

Hi, I'm new to the Forum but have owned a number of A's for the past 25 years. (29 Roadster, 28 Pick-up, and a '30 Tudor) I am in the early stages of restoring a'30 Coupe which I have had since the start. Doing a total nuts and bolts restoration. I have the frame complete, front and rear axles in place, and am working on the wheels so that it can finally roll around again. I have a 31 SW sedan as a driver and a '28AA in the yard for a project some day. I am enjoying the various posts on the site!

[JDupuis]

Welcome to the VFF. I think we can learn lots from you Hank.
Great to see a fellow Canadian in the group. . Jeff

[Fomoco998]

Decided to introduce myself I've been reading for quite a while and have a stock 1930 coupe which I bought sometime ago and decided time for me to make it mine as in redoing the previous restoration .I have been playing with old cars mostly 50's and 60's . After getting body done to my standards I'm going to convert to hydraulic brakes , get rid of the 19" tires and am thinking of a flathead 8 . Hope I don't upset you guys by doing this . I do all my own work with over 50 years exp. These changes are what I feel is necessary for me to enjoy the car more . I will not chop and plan on keeping the look stock as possible.

[DaWizard]

Well Fomoco998, WELCOME to the VFF!!

BTW, very nice looking coupe, and like it has been said before, "it is your car and you can do with it as you please" in regards to the modifications.

Keep putting the pictures up of the modifications you do. We also like video tutorials of those mods.

[Mitch]

Welcome Fomoco

[Marc Hildebrant]

Marc, WELCOME to the VFF!!

[JDupuis]

Welcome to the VFF.

[DougInAustin]

How do you search for a word or phrase across all the different posts? I see a search box when reading a single post, but I want to find a topic without having to scroll through 50+ pages. "muffler" to be exact thanks.

[DaWizard]

Hey Doug, WELCOME to the VFF!!

Go to the main page and type in what you are looking for, it will list all the posts with the key word in it

[DougInAustin]

Thanks Wizard!

[Mitch]

Doug on that same box is an advanced search to narrow it down even further

[Ronnie Hill]

Hello everyone, my name is Ronnie Hill and I will be 50 in July. I’m glad that there’s a place to ask and answer Model A question’s without getting ran down the road. I grew up with Model A’s and have a little knowledge of A’s. Not nearly as much as most guys on here. I was lucky enough to get to be very good friends with Rodger Kauffman the last 5 or 6 years before he passed away. Rodger was a great guy and if you knew him you know he knew Model A’s inside and out. Anyway I’m glad to be here. I have a original unrestored late 31 standard Coupe and a early 31 pickup.

[DaWizard]

Hey Ronnie, WELCOME to the VFF!! Great vehicles ya got there, and I am very glad you are one of the youngsters that had some mentoring. We really need young blood into the hobby.

[Ronnie Hill]

I love Model A’s particularly original cars. They are such a time capsule.
