I noticed that the fuel line and oil pump lines are copper.  My old car "expert" (grandpa) has that copper lines on a car can work harden and crack.  Were they steel or orginially copper?

It is a 4 door sedan.  It ran great at the auction house but I left the key there (on the ground) so they are currently mailing it to me, so is currently not running.  I will need more work than I had hoped.  I had hoped the wheel bearings were loose , no, king pins are bad.  A 4 corner complete brake job is in order.  The wiring is half bare wire and the other is plastic coated (not orginial).  The good news is it has the orginial brass bowl carb and air cleaner.  I am glad I got a bead blasting cabinet.  rusty

Hello,  I just went to an auction to get a model A but bidded on and won a 29 Plymouth instead.  I liked the look, no other reason.  I am a pretty good back yard mechanic of 40-50's cars, mainly flatheads.  This car is seems to run well, at least the 100 feet I had to drive it to the trailer.  I have found a lot of problems once I got her home.   I have ordered a owner manual off ebay but no luck with a shop manual.  I plan on a lot of questions this fall on this forum so  thanks is in order for future problems.
