  • Brent was right..

    He suggested that I come on over here rather than hang out in the political site and the house with holes in it. Nice site.. 86, did 3 As with a Best of Show, wrote six how-to articles for the National magazines and know a small amount of how Model As work.

      Larry Welcome to the VFF!

      Take a look around and if you need any help just ask. Along with the technical & Authenticity forums, check out the Articles section. There is some nice content in there that may appeal to you. If you have a joke, recipe or some other off topic stuff the forum is pretty popular.

        The only place I have the articles are in the original magazines. The sources I used to generate the articles is long gone.

        If someone could tell me how to transfer them to this site, I would be more than happy to share.

        Fender repair fixture
        My Best of Show 1931 Deluxe Roadster
        "Gilding the Lily" a story and many drawings about how I modified my 30 Coupe. 2 parts
        How to paint the Model A. 2 parts
        How to restore stainless steel parts with drawings
        Others I can't recall now without looking at the magazines. Been a few years.

        Also have a ton of images that show the restoration process for my 1030 CCPU.

        Thanks, guys..

        Larry Jenkins

          If someone has the magazines, the pages could be scanned and posted here (as long as there is no copyright issue). Do you have the month/year of the magazines the articles are in? If so, we could look at our collections of the magazines for the articles.

            Hi Larry
            If you took pictures of each page that could easily be loaded to the site, just an option

              You can do one whole thread of your CCPU build.

                  Thank you Mike. Brent was right. Was kinda surprised the ole Mitch is involved. Between the two much "A" knowledge without the nasties. Like it..

                Larry welcome to the VFF I have read and enjoyed your posts many times in the old place which I left when Mitch did. The nice thing about this place is the administrator will answer a message you sent plus the fact he organizing how info in a place where you can find it without doing numerous searches. Look forward to anything you have to post.

                    Welcome Larry, your "A" experience will be truly cherished here.
                    Mitch's organization of "true" restoration information, is second to none. Very well organized, much easier to find.
                    I really enjoy the "chit chat" section. I really like the true that occurs there.
                    plus we don't continually over and over again and again.
                    Your presence here will be truly beneficial to both you and the forum.
                    Thanks for joining. Jeff

                              Welcome to the VFF, I personally would love to see you post your previous articles and pictures here. We all need help and encouragement to repair or "restore" our cars.

                                Heartfelt thank yous to all. I'm getting up there and had to sell the almost completed CCPU because of my wife's COPD. My Shop is in the lower level of our house. Still very interested in the A world, and will try and do my best in contributing.

                                  Now, if someone is willing to guide me through getting my magazine articles posted here, I will start. Keep it simple and clear. I'm old and not as literate as I used to be.

                                    Perhaps you can get them from the magazine publisher in digital. Worth asking.

                                      Two of the magazine are no longer. Mitch was saying to take pictures. Then what? Methods for making images? I know very little about how to do this.

                                        Maybe Mitch would let you mail the mags to him and he could take it from there.....

                                          TBird.. That's what I was hoping. Maybe Mitch will read this and give me directions. What will be interesting is because the articles are pretty old, it would be kind of interesting to see how things and methods have changed. The 2 part Painting aritcles are an example. My article dealt with Acrylic lacquer..

                                          I would not know how to do that. I would be happy to mail you the magazines. Tell me where to send them by sending me a PM on the Barn site. If you have a PM feature here, enlighten me.

Not only that you will be amazed at the number of folks that belong some you may recognize.

                                          This is also in recognition of those current VFF Members who asked to see my old Articles here on VFF after reading my opening statement when I joined the VFF. Thank you! Most

                                          If anybody is here, Merry Christmas. I'm in western NC with a 1921 Touring. Nice to find another model T forum. I'll check back to see if anyone else shows up.

                                          Good afternoon everyone,

                                          As a new member I would like to introduce myself. Retired photographer/car restorer now living in rural France. I've been around vintage and classic cars and trucks all my life, but I still love to try and learn something new every day. My main target lately is to try and make Youtube videos of some of my projects in the hope they might be helpful to others...

                                          I have been lurking on the Model A forum and I am impressed with the way the members treat each other. I own two Ts and hope this T forum picks up. I have been a member of the MTFCA and its forum for some time. If any of you frequent that forum you will notice they are having some problems. Hoping I am welcome here

                                          I was invited to join this forum. I probably know some of you from other places, but some here may not be familiar with my work.
