Jerry,
I also just recently purchased a 1929 Model A (Tudor).My first suggestion is that you join a local Model A club.The local clubs are usually good for advice and sometimes hands-on help (I am going to my first meeting as a member tonight).To answer your question, MAFCA put out a series of reprinted articles called "How to Restore your Model A".I think there are 3 volumes at about $10-15 each.Another book that is good for details is "The Ford Model A - As Henry Built it, A Color, Upholstery and Production Facts Book".You can get that book at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn or go to a bookstore (Borders on the Web?) and give them the ISBN 0-911383-04-02. Good Luck
: I recently aquired a 1929 town sedan. My plans are to rebuild from ground up. The car is 95% original and in fair condition.It has never had any restoration done to it, in side or out. I have been collecting the standard catologs for model A's . My question is, is there a manual or book thatI can aquire that will help guide me through this project? I am not restoring for show but would like to keep it correct and original when possible. I'm having a ball so far!
:thanks Jerry
