  1. Looks like a solid truck for the money. In my area you'd be lucky to find a truck like this in the $7,500-$10,000 range.
  2. Yes, they both would be good for that. I think the "AR" cars had the emergency brake lever to the left of the drivers left leg. This one has it right in front of the trans shifter. Out of the two, I plan to keep the '31 Sedan. It is very roomy and comfortable unlike the Roadster which I can barely get in and out of. I'll find a new home for the Roadster.
  3. Thanks! I'm anxious to get to work on it. The Roadster I mainly bought because it has obviously been neglected and I felt a strong urge to "rescue" it from it's rather poor storage shed. What a shame because it looks like it had a very nice restoration at one point. My plan for it when I get it home is to re-sell it to a good caretaker. I may do some work to it and get it running and driving again or maybe sell it as it is. I will offer it to my friends here on the forum first at basically the same $$ I have spent on it. My first priority will be finding the next good home for it, not making a profit.
  4. Now I've got to go pick up the '28 Roadster I made a deal on. 🤐
  5. And I'm inclined to agree with you! Clean it up, fix what needs fixed to make it a solid driver and enjoy it. That's the plan.
  6. Thanks Wayne, that's a nice thought. Enjoying it into our 80s would be great but I don't think we'll get to enjoy it for 56 years like the previous owners though, I'll be 116!! 😐
  7. The worst thing you can find on a Model A is a crusty beyond repair gas tank. No big deal on other cars but with a Model A, it's part of the body and not easily repaired. I'd rather find a rod hanging out of the side of the block than a crusty gas tank. Tires/tubes and going thru the fuel system will be first things on the list to tackle. Well actually, ridding the car of it's rodent inhabitants will be first.
  8. Be very careful with the sandblasting, it doesn't take much to warp thin metal! I like using glass bead or media that tends to not "peen" the metal too aggressively.
  9. Sheetmetal looks really solid from this side.
  10. I have been working for over a year helping liquidate the estate of a elderly friend and early Ford collector that passed away three years ago. In one of the sheds that was piled full of parts was a car under a car cover that was not for sale. The man's widow that I have been working with on the parts collection was simply and understandably very sentimental about the car which is a 1931 Model A Ford slant windshield Town Sedan. She and her husband had purchased the car in 1968 when she was 27 years old, she is 83 now. Her memories of the car go all the way back to her childhood when a local carpenter in her neighborhood owned the car. They enjoyed the car for many years but it has now been sitting for a while, she wasn't able to remember the last time it had been run. I had told her if she ever decided to sell the car, I'd be interested. Well, I got a call about two months ago and apparently the time had come to let it go. Me, my Wife and a couple of friends went this morning to wake up the car and pull it from it's slumbering place. It's pretty clean considering it has been carefully covered. The rodents of course had not left it alone. The seats look ok but the headliner had a half-dollar sized hole above the driver's seat. Worse news was waiting when I flipped down the sun visors, a fist sized hole above each one! I hate mice! Car is original paint, original interior, 28,954 original miles. A real time capsule that I am proud to now own! Now let's see if I can get it roadworthy once again!
  11. I have a significant lot of pre-war headlight lenses for various makes. I am still sorting thru what I have and will list sizes and makers (twilite, parabeam, twolite, etc.) once I get thru them all and match up what I can. If you see anything you might be interested in or have needs, let me know. $35 per pair plus shipping, $15 for singles if in good condition. Chipped ones are cheaper. Free delivery to Luray Swap meet.
  12. I've got a ton of pre-war headlight lenses I could bring. I am going to list these under parts for sale and see if anybody could use these. I will post brands and sizes once I finish sorting thru them.
  13. Too far away for me. I have a hard time keeping up with all the A and T parts and cars I find within a few hours drive of home.
