Ran the truck across the scales yesterday and was amazed that it weighted 2600 pounds! In looking at the MARC post on Model A weights, the heaviest was the taxi cab at 2500+. I had a full tank of gas, a case of wine and a 24# bag of dog food. I would assume that the louvered hood and cab panels would have helped to reduce the weight.

Ten gallons of Bondo would weigh 106 lbs.Mechanical engineering 101: If you put an adjustment knob, screw, bolt, or tolerance specs on something, some people will immediately fiddle with it. If you mark it DO NOT TOUCH everyone will mess with it.

I think the weights were empty, no water, fuel, oil. also I think they would not have included the bumpers and spare tire.Comment

.....with my ‘29 CCPU. Took it across the scales and it came in at 2540 #. Looked at the MAFCA and MARC charts and the only thing in the 2500# range is the town car and Fordor. No rear fenders, but a 6-1/2” cab extension. I can’t help but think that redwood bed weighs far more than a steel bed. There is a CRAGAR head and a pair of CJ-7 seats. On the other hand, tube headers and aluminum...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I have been attending a wood working class locally for about two years and at each event there is some one that presents about an hour talking about some sort of a wood project. I am just a little bit smarter than a rock about wood working, but feel that I ought to contribute in some way, and all I could think of was something like: 'Using Wood in Vintage Auto Restoration'. I thought that I could...01-15-2019, 08:38 AM -
At the tail end of summer I was installing a top wood kit for my '29 Tudor After a lot of work, the last step was to install the header piece. It did, as the Les Andrews book suggests, take some sanding in order to make the bull-nose piece fit properly, and some to get the bottom to fit the contour of the outside ends. After all that, I went to put the piece in place with the 3M sealer, clamps and...10-23-2018, 01:05 PM -
Got a Briggs body with some wood that needs to be fixed up. What are we using for new or existing wood to protect it?
I've heard boiled linseed oil is good as well as Gilsonite, but I have no idea where to source Gilsonite?...08-22-2018, 10:49 PM -
I have a '29 Tudor with some very questionable and even rotten wood. I have seen some vendors who sell wood kits. Fordwood, Classic wood Products, and it seems too, all the Model A vendors, Bert's Bratton's, Snyders, Mike's, Mac's, CW Moss, Sacramento, and probably others. It looks like the going price for a top wood kit is just north of $600, especially when considering shipping and hardware....06-12-2018, 02:13 AM

Has anyone ever tried filling the nail holes in the top wood and then successfully nailed the top material and molding down? I'm working on a 30 170B deluxe. I replaced the header but wonder about the rest of the top wood.09-10-2018, 06:52 AM -
Were all assembled Model A "Deluxe" Pickups assembled with either a Closed Cab and/or Open Cabs or just Closed Cabs?
Thanks.

There was a product called Kwik Poly. It was a 2 part epoxy product, I think, that could be used to repair decayed wood, like body sill wood. It appears the company that made it went out of business. Does anyone have any information about Kwik Poly or a similar product that can be used to repair wood?
Thanks
