Projects Just Another Hemi Powered Model A Coupe Build

Here's how it sits as of this posting...




Decent body but the subfloor had been hacked up, so new one went in with Steadfast rear rails for the '32 frame...





Made a threaded bung for steering box so the bolt wasn't poking through the frame...









Model A tie rod ends for the wishbones...





Original Model A axle that's been dropped, standard vega cross steer stuff...



P&J shock/headlight mounts...

 

Cool - doing good

 

Dash/pedal support...



Under dash pedal mount setup...





Steering column drop...




Column in and dash going in...




Dash holes modified for gauges...



Underdash panel for extra gauges, switches, 12V outlets...











It's tapered so it's the same thickness as the dash...

 

Wheel well repair time...





Wanted it to match the c-notch in the frame so went ahead and made them...









Aftermarket tail pan was a real POS so cut the ends off and redid them so it'd actually fit. New trunk lid fit and hinged as well...



Had to make the rear floorpan due to the Steadfast subrail kit...



Welded flange nuts in some square tube for the fuel tank mount as getting to the backside will be about impossible once it's done...





Then made a panel to separate the trunk area...




Angle bent on the top. Over 48" wide so I had to make it in 2 pieces...



It's in the hole!...



Fuel tank mounted up...

 

Dimpled holes in the visor...

Layout...


Drill...



Dimple...




Admire hard work...



Hacked up some 2x3 tube and welded in flange nuts for the seat mounts...

 

That's pretty much up to date. Roof gets cut off tomorrow. Stay tuned...

 

Dan,

That was a Good Days Work!

 

Wow! Loving it all! Subscribed for more.

 

Looking real good Dan!!!

 

I like it nice work

 

Very nice work. Only one Question , how come you did not use the original dash knob holes?

 

Awesome. As usual
Dan, you make us normal people look like hacks.

 

Fantastic work. Nothing like a hemi powered rod.

 

I want one!

 

Beautiful work, Dan. I especially like the tank mounts & seat mounts.
But how many cans of Mountain Dew has it taken?

 

Gonna be sweet, outstanding work!

 

What’s the dash out of?

Excellent !

 

Lookin good Dan, a classic Model A hot rod is hard to capture, you're doing a great job!

 

Very tidy work Dan, I've learned a lot from you.

 

Outstanding! More, Please.

 

Damn, that's a cool hot rod.

 

Looks like a 36 Ford to me.

 

That looks crazy good!! Great work there!

You are am amazing metal artist Dan....

 

Didn’t want just gauges in the lower panel. Tried to avoid the “add on” gauge panel look. Like a clean/smooth dash as well.

Well I’m not gonna post the pics where I messed up

Thanks Gary! Soda free haha. Powered by water these days believe it or not.

Ok. Coming up!

Yup, 36 Ford.

Thanks John! Means a lot coming from a true pro.

 

This is obviously not your first rodeo, lots of great ideas to share here. Good skills.

We have fitted a 36 dash to our 28 tudor but extended it out slightly to have a small glove box and speedo cable clearance. But we goofed and now window winders wont clear the dash. Not too sure what the plan is there yet.

 

Starting to finish up some of the chop welding. It’s gonna finish off pretty good.



Chopped the windshield frame down. Gonna have to move the pivot points due to the upward curved ends in dash. Cost of looking cool

 

Awesome work dan
