Features Model A roadster highboys on Model A frames

Here is mine with fake belly pans to conceal the A rails

 

@muroc 29 I have seen pictures of this car on the interweb for years, can you give us a few details as to the running gear, history of the car etc???

 

Yes, I agree - that treatment looks pretty darn slick.

 

Putting the puzzle together.

 

Looking good Pecker Head

 

Well here’s my new to me roadster. Searching for a drivers door and a subframe

 

Well its been in the family since 1968. My dad first built it with a pinto motor. Then in the late 80’s we put a early flathead in it. Then in about 1990 we put a fresh 37’ flathead in it with duel strombergs and a mild cam. Then he decided he wanted to hide the ugly A frame. So one of his best friends is a old hot rodder name Jack Underwood he and my dad rolled pans in the driveway on torque tubes and angle iron. They finished it and turned out pretty nice. Just a little different from the common 32 rails. It has a 39 trans with Lincoln zephyr gears 48 ford rearend. The rear pan really gets alot of attention. Resembles both looks and sound of an old boat. Added a couple pics to show. Thanks for the inquiry

 

Muroc - that thing is sweet!

Here’s my current project
Might get it running before cant work on it anymore..

 

Muroc, I really like this car. It's just correct. and that story behind it, perfect!

 

@muroc 29 great hotrod and its perfect ! Would you be willing to show details on the awesome frame rail covers

 

Yes let me stop by my shop and shoot some close ups

 

You've seen my machine, I hid the A frame with a channel though. Is a Channeled highboy a thing?

Yes, the driver door is welded shut, yes it's original Henry steel

 

Four years worth of shopping!
Definately one that I should have kept!

So if it's channeled........then it's not a ''Highboy''. JW

 

Betty Hunter Chris and My Roadster at TROG SB race. fun fun fun!

 

anymore 39 dash pics? have one hangin on the wall, possible for my 30 roadster

 

Looks like a fun ride!

 

I like your top clamp to the windshield frame, maybe you should use two more

 

I'd like to see more pics of Model A's on A frames, fenderless, but with the running boards aprons only installed. I'm trying to decide how well I like that look. Side view pics would be fantastic!!! Can anyone fix me up?

I gotta say, I'm a fan of fenderless with aprons!
A few I've saved from the HAMB.
Credit goes to whoever took the photos and whoever owns them.
(1st three are of my favorite car in all of HAMB land)

 

Alot of Nice Rides!! The Blue one Chopped is Sick!! I be Cruising in that Ride!!

 

Thanks!!!!

I like the highboy look of an A on Deuce rails, but that route costs more money from what I can tell. An exposed A chassis looks a little like it's missing something (maybe it's a look that will grow on me?).
Channeling the body would clean it up also, but again, more expertise than I possess to pull it off. But the fender aprons do dress it up nicely!!!

The window opening on your top is perfect I need a old top like that on my old roadster

 

Way to slip in that nice blue coupe with the splash aprons.
