Spring is finally here and this past weekend marked the beginning of the Model A season for myself. 

We cleared some of the shop up and got the chassis out so that we could install my new muffler and get the motor running. 
I ordered some new gaskets and a strainer for the Zenith carburetor and cleaned/painted it so that it would be ready for the weekend.
After having a ground issue with the wiring, (I did grind to bare metal for the ground cable to bolt to, but it proved not to be sufficient), and eventually attaching the ground wire to the transmission, the motor fired up.

A great start to the season!

    I am 23 years old from Parry Sound, Ontario. I have been around Model A's for the last few years and got the bug last year after graduating college. I decided that I wanted my own project to work on, and set out to find a my favourite style of Model A, 1930 Coupe. 

    In November of 2012 I purchased my coupe. My own Model A journey had begun! 

    I am very fortunate to have a group of experienced people in my family who have five Model A's, four of which were restored by themselves. Help like this gives me the knowledge needed to get my car finished.
