Technical Scheduled - Van's Barn - Sept 22nd

Notice there will be a Model A Technical at Van's Car Barn at 5422 Round Lake Road, Zellwood, Fl.on Sept 22nd, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
I hope it will be a little cooler by this time and the rest of Sept. seems to be already booked. As many have requested this will be a simple start up session. We will have an oil changing and lubrication party as well as some minor problems that take less time.
We ask that you bring the oil and lubrication that you like to use. As you know we have a lift and also an air operated greese gun.
After this start up we will plan some sessions for special items such as Carburetors, Distributors Water Pumps and anything else that you would like. Just remember we cannot do such things as rebuilding an engine, transmission or rear ends. ~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks Van

Vintage Photographer Set for Chrismtas Banquet

At our August meeting Sandi made a proposal for us to have a Photographer (Suzie) who takes vintage photos be present at our Christmas Banquet at Lakeside Inn in Mt Dora. She will be set up to take photos of you and your model A. If you do not have a model A she can take your photo with a nice backdrop or with others' model A's.
After that day she will post the photos on a website that will be available for anyone in our group to view and purchase any photo that you wish. You will not be contacted or pressured into purchasing any photos. But they will be there for you to purchase if you wish.
So this is a perfect time for you to be thinking about the period costume to wear to the banquet. If you need any help, contact Sandi. She will also be putting hints and ideas in the newsletter to help.
