After some minor? effort, I got the Model A registered and insured this past week and got it out on the road. It performed well. (other than running out of gas Thursday on the way back from lunch...see Andreas' FB post... luckily, I had Markus and Dre to push me to the gas station!)

I do have some issues with loose front wheels. They wobble off and on, mostly when starting off and at slow speeds. I'll have to remove them and see what the issue is. They seem to wobble both top to bottom and front to back so it might be a few things.

 In my haste, I decided not to rebuild the front end and just clean and paint it. That is proving to be a mistake and so now I'm rethinking that...I'll just tighten up what I can for now and then pull the front end off and go through it more efficiently after the Fourth of July parade in La Verne. We'll post photos after the parade and before we go to Europe with the girls. (Kat and Abi, our 'Enkelkinder!)

 Here's a photo of me in front of the Ace Hardware...a great old building in Old Town San Dimas.

See you in the Funny Papers!
