I had my tonsils removed this week so I am stuck in the house for a week, thus meaning no work on the Model A.

I figured I would post some parts that I have waiting to be installed.

This picture was my loot from Christmas. I got the wiring harness along with spark plugs to get the motor running. I also got some luxury items like the Thermo Quail, Instrument panel and cowl lights. They won't go on until the end but they are nice to look at in the mean time.

These are just parts that I have for the frame and front/rear end that I am waiting to install. I already put the front springs together with the clamps and center bolt, the front u-bolts aren't pictured here. The battery support assembly is original, i bought it off someone for $5, just have to sand blast and paint it.

I chose to purchase the spindle bolt kit without the new king pins, as I am sure that my king pins are in good shape, just have to check them with the micrometer to see if there is any wear on the top and bottom of the pins where the bushings go.

In the mean time, I am just laying down watching one of my top ten movies, Lawless, a good Model A movie if you don't mind the violence.

    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.
