What are you working on right now?
Jeff Perkins / Mn replied to Jeff Perkins / Mn's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
OK, what did I work on yesterday…… WARNING: Cute Grandchild story alert……. For several years now (since age 5) Grandson Rosco has always shown a fascination for riding in our various Model T Fords. He is more interested in watching the driver than the scenery. Well, when he showed up yesterday for a one week stay with us he boldly announced he was tall enough to operate the pedals on the T and was ready to take his first drive. OK! We found a dead end quiet road an commenced a lesson in pedal operation. With typical childhood impatience he told me he knew what all the controls did and in what sequence was appropriate to drive. Let’s go! Sooooo…..here we go. I did take a video but I am keeping it private as I want to avoid prosecution by the authorities……..😂 -

My 1960 Buick LeSabre 2 Door Hardtop
Jeff Perkins / Mn replied to TexRiv_63's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Don, I recall relaying my experience to you with Diamondback a year or two ago. For the benefit of others reading this I rate them and their tires 5 stars! Congrats on choosing the Auburn line, I am very satisfied with the sets I bought for both my ‘40’s cars. I sure love that Buick of yours! -
1946 Dodge d24 custom $9,500
Jeff Perkins / Mn replied to Fossil's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
One of these just as nice sold recently near me for similar money. I had a ‘46 D-24 club coupe from 1978-88 and drove the wheels off it. Never failed to get me home, never had to put $$ in it other than routine maintenance. If I didn’t have my NY’er I would buy the Dodge that was near me. Good cars! -
I have had mechanical brakes on many cars over the years and I concur with @wayne sheldon …….most Model A clubs have annual service clinics about brakes, that is where I learned. I have had seven Model A’s over the years and every one was properly set up and maintained. I could “stop on a dime” (and give ya 9 cents change😂).

I remember the WK I owned about 40 years ago. It was the smokiest car I ever drove…..No mosquitoes survived that summer in my district! I do like this one however…..

Give this a nice detail job + complete mechanical service then drive it to the local cruise in……it would be a hit!
