Your car is awesome. When someone asks what a traditional hot rod looks like I'm just gonna show them a picture of this Model A. Very Sweet!! Nice work.
It looks Perfect. And the fact that you and your father built it by yourselves make it all the better. I can't wait to see the '27 Roadster. Nice Job!!!!!
You didn't really use those godawful heavy torque tubes for exhaust, did you? More likely 35-38 tubular driveshafts?? Great looking car.
Pasadenahotrod..those arent the driveshafts, those are the TORQUE TUBES. driveshafts are far to small to get that type of impact, they are heavy, but if you look closely in some of the pics youll se a pretty trick bracket holding them to the frame.
The fresh split pins an' grease nipples do it for me! Swell car, done right and no rust for the sake of it. Burn rubber Nobody's!
If you look up TRADITIONAL HOTROD in the dictionary, these pictures are what you would see. Not most of the crap piles you see running around today.
Nobodys Hero, the 35-38 Ford tubular driveshafts were often used as exhaust on racecars and are form-fitted to the inside of the torque tubes, large and neatly tapered not small straight tubes like open drive units of the day. So you'll know.
man I think I will be dreaming about that car tonight. I love how you got the tire lined up with the radius on the quarter panel. The wire mesh windows the numbering and the red in the grill are freaking awesome. I think I found a new desktop background.
Very cool A, lots of stuff there for insperation. Hope your a Stiff little fingers fan with a handle like your's
Really nice work....the details are what got me. The safety wire and red paint inside all of the lightening holes is great! Looking forward to seeing it up close on Sat.
I saw your car at the Road Agents show and I thought it was the best looking car there. And it sounds good too!
I saw this car in person at a local cruise night and it is as good as it looks in the pictures. Top class car.
