the Adirondack Model A Club has a Youth Program, and they have a help wanted sign up too! They are looking to help teach young people about the history of Model A Fords, hand tools, cost analysis, mechanical systems, basic mechanics, painting, simple welding, and forming a team



WANTED: Young men and women who are interested in the restoration of classic cars, specifically Model As

People between the ages of 13 and 18, enrolled in a local school, and willing to give up two Saturdays a month would be a perfect fit.

Come work on a project car for 6 hours per day, work and lunch and cleanup time. You will learn how to get dirty, form a team, work with hand tools, the history of the automobile, and how to work with metal and wood.

The cars are built on the Jack Byrne property, located at 1003 Hudson River Road, (Route 4 & 32), Mechanicville, NY. The Youth Program has already restored four vehicles including a speedster, huckster wagon, AA truck and mostly recently a 1931 Roadster.

    1. you're welcome! Thanks for noticing! But I'm just spreading the word, I'm on the west coast, this club is on the east coast. I figure by letting people know I might be making the world just a little bit better of a place, because maybe, someone might see this, do that, and have the course of their life changed for the better
