    I agree and I appreciate it. :) I have been promised info before and then never heard from the person again. Or have been told "I can't remember".

    One can only hope the ones who "can't remember" have a damaged fender and have to try to match it ;)

    I gotta tell you guys, I saw this car an hour after it was delivered. And in less than a year ,a total refinement and driveable ride .Not to mention "Eye Catcher".

    The only thing that scares this guy is a sewing machine and bad blues music.

    Nice job Pete.........................!!!

    with the T5 and banjo, did you convert to an open drive, or use the torque tube?

    That is a great looking car that is right on the money as far as getting the look right. It has to be a hell of a lot of fun to drive too.

    So true!I wonder if the current generation knows how he and his T got the T modifieds reborn. Art Johnson built a Flathead clone out of a body I sold back in the early 1970's, I wonder were that car is today. Bob :)

    Been a busy Spring for the little roadster . I had the oiling issues straightened out by James Rodgers of Ashvillle NC . Great model A motor man . Also changed out the 4.11 rear gears for a set of 3.54's . The car really has some long legs now and is a pleasure to drive.
    Since moving to North Carolina I have really enjoyed the car on the beautiful roads down here.
    I did find one pot hole and whenever I get home sick for Connecticut I drive over and hit it a few times just to remember those good old roads that I left behind.
