Features Fenderless Model A's, Show Us Your A-Frames!

here's mine it's AA truck frame

 

That's a cool roadster rustyrods.

 

And its not an A and it has FENDERS!!!!! JW

 

I just had to poke at the correct police. My next build will fit the criteria. Oh no it won't, it's a pick up. Dang.

 

Why??? JW

 

30 sedan I'm working on

 

Not many frame pics. Drove it bare for about 3 years to work the bugs out. Its torn apart now for paint.

 

Quit Flapping your soup coolers, and get to work !!!! Chris

 

What book are you all referring to? I would like to find a book on what it takes to build a model A hot rod.

 

"How to build a Traditional Ford Hotrod". http://www.amazon.com/Build-Traditional-Ford-Motorbooks-Workshop/dp/0760309000

Pretty much the bible for building a late 40s early 50s hotrod.

A neat AV8 set up we have just finished up at Buckland Automotive.

 

Done 25 years ago. Just now coming into style.

 

Agree, the book everyone should read before building a period correct Hot Rod. However "Bluey" the chief character sits on a Deuce frame. Anyway, definitely a beautiful V8 powered Model A.

 

Not sure where you got that idea but "Bluey is most definitely a true AV8 with a genuine Model A frame.
Here's a link with lots of pic...scroll down all the way to the bottom:

Shame on me, you are absolutely right. On page 7 of the book Mike Bishop writes "...While I choose a Model A frame because that was what I had under my original car, we also describe the construction of a Deuce-framed chassis..."
I was probably confused when reading chapter 2 "The Frame" where they exactly describe both frame versions. Sorry, I owe you a drink the next time you come to NZ.

 

My wife's coupe

 

It's been on my radar for years.....nice Hot Rod!

 

Here is a picture of my roadster with original frame and brakes.

 

Here is a picture with the 4 cylinder engine with a 455 olds head.

 

Just discovered this forum & find it great. Recently purchased a '31 roadster pickup project. It was channeled over the frame, I am having it raised to provide more room for me to fit in. Anxious to read more of this and see all the great rides.

Looks like a fun ride!

 

It aint a Model A either, It's a Chevy!

 

This coupe does it for me....
This is mine.

 

here's mine.. built in 1992.. has a kickup in the back widened to make clearance for the rumble seat. can't wait for the snow to melt in front of the garage door so I can get her out!

 

Here's mine, 259 Studebaker powered. It was being driven around New York as a stocker 9 months ago.
Cheers, Ron.
