My Dad was a genius mechanic, he loved Fords. He actually rebuilt a 1926 ford Model T in his 70s, he found almost all original parts around the country. It took many years and was in perfect condition when finished. He drove it around town and donated it. He also restored a very old Ford Fire Engine. What a brilliant man. I miss him greatly.

Yeah that was the olden days. He got original parts and some duplicates he had made. My Dad was extremely detailed oriented. He didn’t want any fakes. He worked hard to find mostly original parts and had to restore the old ones also.
Social conservatives push Trump to back federal role on abortion

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leading U.S. anti-abortion group on Tuesday warned Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump not to water down language in the party platform on abortion restrictions, the most visible sign yet of a widening fissure between Trump and social conservatives on the issue.
The reproach by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser comes as party members head to Milwaukee to draft the platform, which serves as a statement of policy principles, ahead of what is intended to be a national show of unity at the party's convention this month.
For weeks, anti-abortion activists have been expressing concerns that the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee would work to weaken language in the platform by eliminating any reference to a federal role in restricting abortion.
Trump has said the issue should be left solely to state legislatures in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2022 that gutted constitutional protection for the procedure. He has argued that is a more politically tenable position, with polls showing a majority of Americans broadly backing abortion rights.
In a statement on Tuesday, Dannenfelser said the longtime, battle-tested alliance between the grassroots anti-abortion movement and the Republican, or GOP, Party was in jeopardy.
"If the Trump campaign decides to remove national protections for the unborn in the GOP platform, it would be a miscalculation that would hurt party unity and destroy pro-life enthusiasm between now and the election," Dannenfelser said.
Members of the Republican Party's platform committee are scheduled to meet privately in Milwaukee ahead of the July 15-18 convention, where Trump will be formally tapped as the party's presidential nominee for the Nov. 5 election against President Joe Biden, a Democrat who is campaigning in favor of abortion rights.
In her statement, Dannenfelser suggested that anti-abortion groups were being shut out of the process of crafting the platform.
"We are now just two business days away from the platform committee meeting and no assurances have been made," she said. "Instead, every indication is that the campaign will muscle through changes behind closed doors."
Danielle Alvarez, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, said no definitive decisions had been made on the platform's contents.
(He already told them and us, he still needs to get elected, where’s the gratitude?)
