Sad , a LOT of things aren't the same as when I was 21 ,but as long as the clutch and throttle still work I can pretend Im 21...... Im a mere image of my former self....

Im going to sell my starter /generator test bench. Its a very well preserved factory made bench that has brass knive switches, volt and amp meters, a expanded face Corbin tachometer with the cable that is attached to the motor that spins the generators. There is a cradle like vise that clamps the starters or generators in place. Its about 6 ft long and has excellent original paint. This will make a great addition to any prewar or post war garage. If you Google ELMCO test bench you can see and read all about it.If this sounds interesting to anyone contact me and Ill post pictures. Its located in Livonia NY Mike 585 738 1541

I need a restorable box for a model A - not too bad banged up or rusted. Ill look at all offered. Thanks Mike 585 738 1541

I have a senior trippe light that needs plating, glass is good as well reflector . it has the mounting bracket. Ill take $100 including postage . Mike 585 738 1541

Im looking for a restorable Model A Ford Pickup box . All considered. If you've seen one advertised on Craigslist or have on please drop me a note. Im working on a truck with/for my grandson and don't want to buy a repro. The new ones look good but as part of the "Lesson" I want to fix one. (The metal, paint and wood ) Thank you, Mike West 585 738 1541 PS, Ive included a picture of one. A lot of these have been made into a 2 wheel trailer.

Don, Your car looks great and you should be proud of it. Looks great!

Is this steel body what you are talking about? Its on a TT chassis. It does not have a ford script Its wider than a Model a Box

ED send me the name of the towing co and body shop if you know it. Im in Rochester daily and could see if the original building is still there.

The truck wearing its new skins. We carried the door embossment onto the box skin. When I was drawing what I wanted the truck to look like I knew I didn't want it to look like anything I had seen with flared sides. I have a friend In Rochester , NY that has a rare Ford Model A 64A Deluxe pickup. I went and patterned and measured everything and increased the dimensions to get what you see. Im working on the chrome rails as we speak.

" Is a complex curve the same as a compound curve?"

Don It looks Great!! Nice job!

ED, Here is my 1933 Franklin truck my dad and I made over from a wrecked sedan. Its all ash framed and steel skinned. It has OD behind the original 3 speed trans. It gets a lot of compliments for a couple shade tree mechanics... smile. Mike PS. That's my dad in the back for his last ride in our creation.

Yep!

I have a original truck that a new box on would look out of place. Looking for one ( The standard one , not the 1931 wide bed) on the east coast/ Im in upstate NY . Mike 585 738 1541
