Doing a little bit of under hood/bonnet painting before the weather gets too cold to get outside. Not exactly concours but looks a bit better. Much more left to do, but as you can see we’ve come quite a way!

Clang!! Alternator….
Been hearing a bit of a metallic sound and whilst I was working on the carburetor and noticed that the fan pulley on the Nu Rex alternator was turning independently of the fan pulley, which I’m pretty sure that it shouldn’t!
Will give Nu Rex in the States a call to understand how it all hangs together!
1929 Model A Ford Sport Coupe
Start up and pull away after some routine maintenance
The Sport Coupe Idling
Berkshire Motor Show 2016
Went along to the Berkshire Motor Show with the Sport Coupe for its second show outing of the year
The first proper run with the new rear suspension set up, very pleased rides very well 🙂
John Cochran with his A truck was parked next to me, pretty good show with no rain and a few other American cars present.
The best part of the show was that proceeds went to Charity!
More Updates to my 1929 Model A Sport Coupe
Had a few days off work and with Simon’s help caught up with a number of tasks on the A :
New Rear Spring
Tube Rear Shock Absorbers
Repair Offside Rear Wheel Arch
Repair Seat Back Brackets
Fix Slight Steering/Front Shock Absorber Issue
In fact we did every I’d planned and in two days!
Special thanks to John Cochran as we couldn’t have done the job without the use of his spring spreader 🙂
Model A Ford Spring Spreader
I hope to be doing the rear spring on the Model A soon, and my friend John gave me a quick crash course on now to use the spring spreader safely.
