Thank you.> ChadDarn, I live in Calif.sounds like a good buy to me, I paid 800.00 for a almost restored 31 4dr. with Briggs body back in 90 complete with engine needing rebuild. While working at Long Beach Naval Shipyard I worked in x31 and the Babbit section for two yrs, Babbiting is easy when you learn the tricks. we did bearings from around 1 1/4" to 42"Gordon________________________________________________________________________________

Money?? what is that.After retireing I have plenty of time to dream, my project list is much longer than my bank account. When I was working I had money and no time to build anything.I don't have the Model "A" anymore, like I said no time to work on it then and a guy down the street told a friend and all of a sudden I get offered 1200.00 for my 800.00 purchase. I sell it. But I have kept my stack of Model "A" rebuilding books and all the parts catalogs just in case I find another one cheap around here.Keep the dream alive and someday you will return back to the things you want. The guy I bought the A from had an insurance bill he could not pay.When I was 16 I bought a Model "A" 29 or 30 Coupe, stock with solid wheels on it and 8 spare spoke wheels came with it. I paid 75.00 for it and my Mom said I paid too much. That was 75 hours work for me to pay for it.Gordon> Hello Gordon, that sounds interesting.
