On Tuesday, January 11, 2011 I was on my way to Bloomington to attend a conference. Somewhere on 494 my drivers side window blew up. Not being very familar with the cities, I was directed to an exit that took me to the Youngstedts Goodyear shop in Minnetonka, on Hwy. 7. Once there I asked if they had any knowledge of glass replacement and they directed me to the MAACO store located in Chanhassen. After a couple of phone calls with Jeff Stone and Mike (never heard Mike's last name) and a conference call between Mike J and my insurance company, the gentlemen involved took very good care of me. Jeremy Anderson at the Goodyear shop allowed me to leave my vehicle there over night, then MAACO picked it up on Wed., replaced the window and delivered my vehicle to the Sheraton in Bloomington by late morning on Wed. I received terrific service by very professional gentlemen. They treated me very well and with respect. I couldn't have asked for more.


When service of this level is performed someone needs to know so please thank all the gentlemen involved for me.

1931 Model A Pickup Update.

Hello, some of you may remember the 1931 Model A Pickup we were working on last spring/summer.  We checked in with Tim in Menomonie, WI this weekend and the truck is coming along nicely.  He has mounted the cab to the frame.  This past weekend, he mounted the box to the frame, installed the wheel center caps, installed the cab window tracks, and got the truck ready to align/fit the front and rear fenders.  There is still some interior work that needs to be done, the fenders need some modification and paint, but the truck should be ready by June according to Tim.  Here's some pictures from the weekend.

The original box on the truck was completely shot.  This box was a barn-find on eBay.  It was an original 1931 Model A replacement wide-box still in the crate from Ford.  The crate was marked 1954!  I guess some farmer had purchased it to clean up his truck and never got around to install it.  See previous posts for what it looked like before paint.  Just minor surface rust had to be removed, then we primed and painted it.

Needless to say, Tim is a "happy camper".  We'll check back with him soon to see how the project is finishing up.  We'll be painting the front/rear fenders and a few other parts in the next month or so.  Check back with us soon.  If you would like to discuss restoration and paint options on your project, please let us know.
