Since owning my Model A I have driven it for a total of 57,000 miles. I even was brave (aka stupid) enough to drive it to Columbus Ohio and back in 4 days straight!!! She ran like a charm the whole way. I try to drive it to work whenever the weather permits. I have replaced the engine, rebuilt the body, and added Powder Coated Rims, replaced the wood, and added a 1936 Chrysler Overdrive. I have taken several Long trips in the Fordor, and the selections below will take to a brief photo tour of some of my early trips.

Rebuilding my Fordor

In the Winter of 2000, I found myself unemployed for 3 months. This allowed me to get in way over my head on rebuiding. Fortunately with the help of the late Ed Antosh (The Model A Doctor), and Steve from Community Garage in Pepperell, MA, I was able to get her back together and running.
