If you have an old car they require some tinkering. I've been tinkering with the 29 convertible lately. Changed the oil, rebuilt the carburetor. I'm now going to put some equalizers in the front brakes to make it stop better and check the timing. It's not running as good as it should and I suspect the timing is off.
I wouldn't tackle another major project at this time in my life.
Equalizers can help, but primarily it's down to adjusting the brake rods so the brake drums have just a hint of dragging against the brake shoes. Mechanical brakes are wonderful, aren't they?😁 Henry Ford thought so, when the rest of the world didn't. Of course within the limits of a Model A's speed they weren't bad.
A high percentage of gun nuts I've known were/are car guys too. Tinkering with stuff like old guns and old cars is a philosophical way to become one with them, to truly own and master them.
Old guns without old cars to haul them around in would make for a lessened world, IMO.
