August 1 - In our MEMBERS ONLY area, we have a list of MAFCA members with email. I just visited that page and noticed that some of the entries are REALLY old.

Note that the email addresses are "hidden" so that Google can't find them in any searches. To see any email address, hover the cursor over the little envelope. The email address will appear in the very bottom left corner of the screen, starting with: mailto:
If your location or email address has changed, or if you'd like to be removed from the list, please click the link on the bottom that page to send the info to the Listmaster.
Feature of the Week - Restorer Index
July 30 - I'm sure you're aware that an index of each full volume of The Restorer is published each year. Those indexes are handy if you're trying to locate a specific article.
But what if you're not sure which volume the article was published? Searching through each annual index would take quite a bit of time. If you could even find them all.
Enter RINDEX - a computerized summary of the articles in The Restorer magazine. There are several versions of RINDEX to help you pinpoint the years you're searching for. You can find these indexes on the DOWNLOADS page. Choose the version of RINDEX that's closest to the years you want to search. Then use your PDF program's "search" feature to find what you're looking for.
More 2021 Tour Photos
July 23 - Posted 6 new photos on the 2021 National Tour page. You'll find it under FUN STUFF and PHOTO GALLERY and INTRODUCTION. Or, just click here.

More Scams
July 11 - A new classified scam has been reported. Beware of any buyer who wants to pay full price for a vehicle without seeing it in person and who want to pay by certified cashiers check including an extra amount to pay to the shipping agent. Most of the time, those cashiers checks are bogus.

"I don't see the new a of the day"
March 28 - If you don't see a new A OF THE DAY, it's because your computer's browser is showing you the image you previously saw. Each browser has a button that allows you to "refresh" or reload the page. Once you do that, the browser goes to the website for the current version of the page.
If you're not familiar with refreshing the
browser or clearing the cache, there are several help files in our DOWNLOADS folder to assist
you, depending on which computer you use (PC or Mac) and which browser. The help files can
