The best video ever. Is it possible to make one that shows the attachment of the core to the tanks?
Can't wait to see you in Ruidoso next summer

Fred A says:

Great, thanks so much

Fred A says:

Other than driving it all the time. I live in New Hampshire. So I’m not gonna be driving it in the winter. Is there any way to prevent this without starting it and driving it?? Thanks again for your help.

Adam Till says:

Always appreciate seeing the details, even on jobs I’d never DIY. Now I know more of what to look for when getting my 28 rad rebuilt

ZacknDad says:

Congrats my friend on making the Board. That is awesome. I know you really wanted to be on that as well. AMEN! I am sure you will enjoy every minute of it. Great video as always. That guy who worked on your radiator seemed like a really nice guy. Glad he is still in business. Not too many of those anymore. Hope you are having a great weekend. Zach is at a Youth Event for Church this weekend. Having a blast I am sure. Have a blessed Sunday and God bless!

Charles Dalton says:

First and foremost – Congratulations again on your election to the MAFCA Board – well earned and deserved! And Happy Anniversary again as well – man what a big week you've had! And thank you, as always, for this video. I've never gotten to see a rad recored. ~ Chuck

My last sentence should have read “model A”, not “model ass”.

Milt Carlton says:

In 1973, I bought a 1950 Chevrolet three-quarter ton pick up. It was my daily driver until my heater core began leaking. Less than 1/2 mile from my home was a heater repair shop run by a lady whose name was Fran. She pulled my heater core and my radiator and repaired them perfectly. Never had a heating problem at all until I finally sold the truck when I was 38 years old. Love your model ass and wish I had one.

Fred A says:

Call as usual you’re a genius. Worked like a charm. Thanks so much and congratulations again.

Miles Long says:

What a great resource to know that you'll end up with a product that'll resolve some issues A's have had in hotter climates or A's that do a lot of parade driving.
The Modesto Radiator Shop website shows they do gas tank repairs. I wonder if they can clean out Model A fuel tanks, too?

Fred A says:

When I put it away the last time the clutch was fine. I looked underneath all the linkages are all hooked up, etc. and it did not seem to leak any excess oil. Thanks for your time in advance
Fred

Fred A says:

Hey Paul , congratulations. Quick question off-the-wall my Modle A has been sitting for about eight months or so. I know bad me. But I got it. It started right up but I have no clutch whatsoever. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Richard brobeck says:

Congratulations Paul that is wonderful news !!

Quail Studios Guitar & Keys says:

Congratulations on being voted onto the MAFCA board Paul. I know you will do the best job you know how. What a blessing for the Model A community! ❤

James Wagner says:

I don't see where hotel information for the 2024 MAFCA Convention is available? Can you share links to hotels sites?

Dino Falabrino says:

Paul-This is possibly the best video you have done. Many, many radiator shops that do brass radiators are gone! This guy knows his stuff. He also repairs gas tanks. Many shops will not touch them. Question…..Can I send him a radiator or do we have to do walk in only? And congratulations on your nomination to the board .

James Wagner says:

Congratulations on the election to the board!
