It was definitely worth the trip, I'd say. The old gal looks great,you should be commended for your efforts. Does it handle better or worse than the original you had? Enjoy!
Hi Dean! Thanks for the kind words. Since I was able to install the Ken Davis Shocks on the rear as well as replace the rear spring shackles, I notice an overall improvement in ride control. The Jeep seat is definitely comfortable. The overall width of the cab is a bit tighter than the Fordor, but not horrible by any means. I could easily see myself doing a few hundred mile cruise with ease.
@@kensmithgallery4432 We are having model A Days here in NE Florida at the Pioneer Village in Barberville, FL on Saturday 5 Nov. The Crankin' A's are hosting with First Coast Region participation. We hope to have a good time with plenty of people. Isn't that what these cars do? Bring people together? My son and I are going to breakfast and then help a friend put the body on his frame. Five or six guys should be able to lift it up. Built the chassis and now mate the body to the frame. Whew! Maybe Putin and Zelensky need an old car and a club to join. Gotta run! Catch ya later! 😁
What beautiful country for a drive in an A. Wish I could move there.
@tomthompson5422 thanks so much!

That model A huckster of yours is fast! The banjo can barely keep up with it!
LOL! That banjo was working it!
