| Ongoing Model A Ford Research Projects | |
|
There are a few of us in the Model A Ford hobby who, themselves, are conduction their own research projects. As every day goes by, more and more is lost for various reasons. We can not afford that. If we can provide information, which may or may not be in the archives, to others for the future of our hobby, the better our restorations will be. There is so much information out there that if one could know about it, it would make our restorations that much better. It will not only make the research more meaningful for those who are concentrating on some project, but it will also generate a greater interest among owners who want to participate. If you have or are currently working on researching or studying a certain aspect of the Model A Ford, please contact me at steve@plucks329s.org and let me know so I can incorporate your study into this data base. Thanks. |
