Major Model A news! I can't BELIEVE it!!

[@ModelA]

I am SO thankful to MAFCA and Ed Tolman for making this dream a reality! Now we can get more Model A questions answered and help even more Model A owners. Please be sure to include pictures if you have them when asking questions to help us see what you're seeing. Also, please limit emails to technical questions. This is not the place to ask if a Model A you want to buy is priced right. Thank you!

[@myrlstone8904]

I saw this video pop up and immediately thought, what could possibly lure Paul from his one month retirement? Wow ! Certainly newsworthy, congratulations, and a Thank You to the new answer team. The Model A experience just keeps getting better.

[@ModelA]

Thanks Myrl! My goal is to help Model A owners. Sometimes you have to think outside the spoked wheel.

[@plap.]

I don't have a model A, but this is one more reason to get one

[@Okie-Tom]

Wonderful! This can help so many people. Thanks a lot! Tom

[@mriojas78]

This is amazing news! Thank you! I watched every video of yours before I bought my ‘28 Fordor

[@ModelA]

Thank you Mike!! Very flattering.

[@ThorvikHaroldsson]

Hi! What an amazing gift to the model A world! Another idea to take it a step further: A lot of questions will be asked multiple times. How about you find a kind of platform (not a forum, more something like an online encyclopedia with an easy but effective search engine) where you add all the questions and answers. This way you might have a bit more work in the beginning, but in the end you'll end up with an amazing pool of information and a legacy which will be so amazing.

[@ModelA]

You will find them later on the MAFCA website! How awesome is that?

[@ThorvikHaroldsson]

@@ModelA That would be amazing!! Thanks for everything!

[@BeetTheRush]

Congratulations on making this dream come true, I'm sure you'll be able to help so many model A enthusiasts! Finding someone who shares your passion and is willing to start a project with you feels amazing!

[@ModelA]

Thank you so much!

[@lizj5740]

Hi, Paul. I popped over from Wild Bill's Vintage Car History channel. Your videos look very interesting. I will pass your channel details to my car friends. Love from Liz and Ginger in Australia.

[@ModelA]

That is very kind. Thank you!

[@jerrypeal653]

Ok I’ll definitely keep this E mail for future reference, thanks Paul and all the team !

[@albertolugo1477]

Hi Paul, another great idea that will greatly help all of us in the Model A Hobby. THANK YOUfor getting the ball rolling! God Bless.

[@ModelA]

Thanks Alberto! God bless.

[@n8iws484]

That is awesome news Paul. Makes me want to move some of my other cars down the road sooner and get a Model A to care for. Our 1959 Studebaker Lark won't go anywhere, she's still wearing original paint and we're the same age. I'm so glad I stumbled into your channel and discover we have so many similar activities. You're not a Mason too? That would be another one. 73 OM and see you down the log.

[@ModelA]

Hi Dale! Nope, not a Mason. You got one up on me!

[@VintageCarHistory]

This coming Tuesday I'll be posting my next episode of Ye Ol' Garage. Your channel will be getting the Shout Out.

[@ModelA]

That is very kind of you! Thank you!

[@VintageCarHistory]

[@ModelA]

@@VintageCarHistory I just saw it. Very nice! I loved the segment about pinewood derby cars. Thank you for the very kind shout!

[@discerningmind]

Thanks again Paul. It's good to see the Tudor again. My favorite. My desire. If you have a moment, what colors is the Tudor done in?

[@ModelA]

It is Copra Drab over Chicle drab with Tacoma Creme stripe and wheels. This car has only been repainted once, colors matched to the original paint underneath.

[@discerningmind]

@@ModelA Thanks Paul. I've always wondered what color Chicle was. Even in Drab I have a good idea now. I did try to look it up once, but I wasn't seeing color that I could confidently believe was actually Chicle. I adore the Tudor.

[@ModelA]

@@discerningmind Got it! You should see if you can pick up a copy of the MAFCA color guide. It is full of paint chips that show the exact colors. Well, close...

[@discerningmind]

@@ModelA Thanks Paul!

[@earlt.7573]

The knowledge and experience of the "Old Guys" coupled with the modern media, perfect. Henry would love it, thanks Paul !!!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Earl! Yes, the "old guys" are so full of knowledge. I'm jealous.

This is awesome! You're looking good too Paul!

Thanks Dan!

[@craigpennington1251]

A great idea and best wishes that it works for all. The car behind you is awesome. The color works too, very nice.

[@ModelA]

Same car used in the buyer's guide video!

[@nelsonchegezy3332]

Thanks Paul for keeping the dream alive. You had a great idea about sharing technical information and experience by a "dream team" and proved again that perseverance pays off. There are a number of communication mediums (Facebook, Email, KZbin, Websites, etc.) that will always be changing and evolving so that your ideas can be adapted to them as it makes sense. You and your wife continue to very generously help fellow Model A enthusiasts and helping others is awesome!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Nelson! I hope this is helpful to people.

Hey Paul I love all your videos I feel like I’ve watched them all two or three times while me and my grandpa have been working on his model A unfortunately his model A has become my model A and I’m working on it by myself now I have a request for a video for some help I saw on your videos that you recommended removing the original metal two blade and swapping it out for one of the others I was wondering if you would be willing to make a video on it. Thanks for all the help and fun you have already provided keep up the good work.

[@ModelA]

Very sorry about your grandpa, Josh. Good for you for keeping a small part of him alive! Do you have the Les Andrews "red book" yet? That has what you need in it.

[@JackFrost-ps2kt]

FANTASTIC IDEA! Thanks guys!!

[@billseward2274]

Good news for the aspiring/new owner especially. I see radio gear in the background. Curious what's up with that.

[@ModelA]

Just some radios.

[@sylviahouder6665]

I really hope you continue to make your videos.

[@ModelA]

I am making videos still. Just took a short break because it's the busy time of year at work (my real job).

[@XoVoX]

Great Idea, thought I kinda feel a forum may make more sense as I am sure a lot of questions have been answered ad nauseum

[@ModelA]

There are already some good Model A forums out there.

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

It's interesting the similarities between the turn of the century in 1900 compared to 2000. The internal combustion engine was the catalyst for cars, trucks, planes and much more. In 2000, it was the PC and World Wide Web and wireless data communication and we see that facilitating home automation and virtual reality and who knows how much more. I don't know how this century will continue though with so many Billionaires trying to end us.

[@ScottDLR]

Why not just put together a bulletin board (forum)?

[@ModelA]

There are already several. The problem is when people call themselves experts on the forum and then deliver really bad advice. It's difficult to tell the true experts from the pozers.

[@ScottDLR]

@@ModelA That's very true and it goes for every type of forum!

[@ScubaAnt72]

@@ModelA I agree with both of you! A 'better' solution might be a forum that allows anyone to post a question but only moderators to reply. At least then there would be a record of the Qs and As which might save you guys a heap of time in the long run. A repository of this type of information written by experts would be an excellent resource. Just a thought.

@@ScubaAnt72 There are already forums. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. Questions and their answers will be posted on the MAFCA website. Good enough! We just need to get people some help.
