  1. No the cylindrical thing in the front is called a miter box, it is a small gear box that takes the power coming in the drive shaft and put it out to both sides. same in the rear, the rear takes power from the transmission and puts it out the the other side chain to drive the rear wheel and out the drive shaft to run the front miter-box. the front miter box runs the front wheel via a chain and the other side has the disk brake that stops both wheels.

    The drive shaft has a one way clutch in it so the front wheel can go faster than the rear wheel for turns.

    A miter-box is like a lock differential.

  2. I have decided to lighten my garage. After moving vehicles around 4 times with my kitchen remodel. I realized I didn't have the Rokon out of the garage at all last year other than to used the trailer for the Lebanon show. So I have listed it on E-bay. AACA Junior, Senior, and preservation awards. I used it for my daughter to show while I showed something else, now she has moved on and has no interest in the Rokon.:(

  3. After my temp collapsed (in it's defence we have over a foot of wet snow).

    I bought a portable garage from the local amish.

    I got a 14 x 32 (largest they can move in our county without a permit)

    It has worked great, I can put 2 cars in it.

    it is portable so still exempt for taxes and set backs.

    here is a photo of it being delivered.

    With options like two tone and full length sky light it as over $5K but well worth it.

  4. Yes there is. Take an ordinary cigarette lighter plug. Take the wires off. Put the wires back on with the + where the - used to be, and the - where the + used to be. Voila, you now have a positive ground plug to plug in your boom box.

    Paint the plug a bright color and put a big label on so you can't mix it up with a standard plug.

    That would work fine if he had a 12 positive ground car but at 1949 Lincoln is 6 volt positive ground so that will not work. He needs the adapter.

  5. Hi Jay, Thanks for the reply. I'd actually prefer a cigarette plugin version that would have an outlet on the end for him to use with other devices as well. Have any ideas for something like that? Thanks

    That is how I have mine hooked up I bought a cheap 3 way lighter adapter, and put the plug at one end to plug in to the 6 volt Pos ground and hooked the 3 outlets to the other side to give me three 12 volt positive ground outlets.

    I use a GPS as well as a Strobe for night driving with the model A.

  6. Here is my 28 on a dyno taking it up to 65 mph

    Fame numbers are very hard to fine as it tends to rust between the frame and the body where the number is located.

    If a Model A front end is tight and set up right they cruise real nice at 55 and plenty of brakes.

  7. He's just following the law that you have to have something bright colored if anything is hanging out the back of your vehicle so that others won't run into it. :D

    I see he bought at least two of the orange and green mats that we saw for sale. I have to say they were very cushy to walk on. :)

    This is my friend Dave from Iowa, We have been going to Hershey together for the last 10 or so years since I quite driving the old motorhome, This is what happens when we have the car all packed and while I was judging he bought two 50 Packard woody doors we had to squeeze in. Shown at the right of this picture
