Become a Member

Now is the time to become a member !! If you are a Model A Ford owner, or just thinking about becoming an owner we would welcome you into our club. We are always happy to talk about Model A's, give advice about Model A's (sometimes competing advice too -- its free you know!) to anybody that wants to listen. Dues are only $20 per year and you get to meet a bunch of nice people. Heck you can even come to our meetings and forget about the dues! We are an active club organizing tours from the day trip to the extended tour (i.e. Blue Ridge Parkway, MARC National meets etc.).
There's no excuse to not have fun!

June 27, 2020 Tune-up Day

Our club had a tune-up day late June in preparation for our Blowing Rock, NC trip. Richard and Vicki were great hosts (again) for our club which is much appreciated by all of us.
Much attention was focused on our brakes as you can see we did a lot of lying around.
And of course we all had to supervise! 
Next a front end alignment was performed.

Also a little tuning up of the horn, below a little oil and some cleaning up of the armature made the horn sound just right!


And finally for Larry's car a slight adjustment of the generator (remember push the third brush up to reduce charging and push it down to increase charging).

Randall brought just a couple pieces of his Model A for our tune-up day. Below you can see he is reaming out new bushings that he pressed into his front axle spindles.

Don instructed all of us that the proper way to ream bushings is to always turn the reaming tool in the cutting direction - never reverse the direction because this will dull your reamer and shorten its life.

We all celebrated fixing our Model A's with pizza out on Richard's and Vicki's picnic table for lunch. It was a great day and much was accomplished. Again Thank You to Richard and Vicki for hosting our Tune-up Day!!
