Model A on the road today, ready for roundup

I got her on the road today, and I'm ready for the roundup. Please don't laugh too hard, this is only the second car I have ever built. My next build starting monday will be a 47 desoto coupe. Don't be too hard on me, but let me know what you think. Hopefully somebody will identify these headlights. I just thought that they were cool.

links no workie

 

Here you go....

 

Sorry, I didnt realize I put the wrong image codes. here they are

 

what are the headlights?

 

They are lights that are fixed to the front end of a car to illuminate the road at night.




Sorry, I couldn't resist !

Nice car! Are the taillights '51 merc ? Congrats on gettin her on the road, I wish I was in the same boat. Enjoy cruisin her around !

i was told they came off a freight boat ,other than that it beats the hell out of me,what do you think

 

Nothing to laugh at there, it looks great. Well, I might snicker a little at the headlights.....

 

I like the interior, what's on your floors?

 

1/4 inch birch i stained and put 4 coats of sealer i might end up doing the door paneld to limit some noise

 

the headlights look a little odd other then that no complaints from me awsome car

 

no offense man but...

billet
faux patina
sbc
radials
red wheels
spiderweb grille
electric fan
shift knob blocking your rearview mirror

i think i smell a rat

 

I dared to be different, And they light up the night like you would not believe

 

Hell i dont know/Is this what is considered a rat.I have a set of wires that are in the process of being trued at this time and when the car is in gear i can see thru the mirror just fine I guess you can not make them all happy.But what the hell i like it

 

I like it! Any rubbing on the rear tires?

Don't worry, soon radials will be the new bias plys.

 

has of now with the 15 inch wheels no, but i will hold that thought untill i bolt on my 16 inch wires that is judgment day

 

- You ****! Sorry, little bit of jealousy that your's will be ready for roundup.

- Fore the most part I like it, except for the grill insert, and a little weary of the looks of those headlights, but hey if they work....

 

Not my style, but it looks like a very well built car. I like the flooring and the seats. What are the seats out of? U did a nice job.

 

its different , if you like it i like it!!

 

Now that funny !!

 

These were old bar stools that had steele backs.I cut the bottoms out and welded 1/4 inch.Hell of a lot cheaper than bombers THANKS

 

looks great, I don't know about the lights though but I like the stands. The 16's are going to be tight

 

I think the lights must have came off a va***e cleaner , because they **** !

 

I dig it. I like the head lights but the turn signals just dont look right to me. I'm the FNG so what do I know.

 

apparently you don't know how to post a proper intro...

bbob, bottom line is that you do like it. that's great. it does look like a well built car from what i can see, but it's not really what this board is about. kudos for building it and driving it and taking my ribbing in stride

 

SKAJQUADA,

It is all good my friend,i did not take it has a ribbing ,the reason i got on this board is because of the host of different opinions THANKS

 

Congrats on getting it together, but......the rear shackles don't have much travel in them. Were you able to get much bounce on the rear corners ?

 

I like it. Would like to see some detail of the third brake light or reflector on the back. Keep us posted on the DeSoto coupe, I'm building a 48 Dodge coupe.

 

That floor is awsome, way to be think a outside of the box. It's WAY better than the "traditional" plywood you always see

Looks like quality work

 

I`d name it ****** in ******* !
I like those head lights . do they work ? are they bright enough ?
