Features Model A roadster highboys on Model A frames

Just got back in the office after driving my A roadster to the exhuast shop and back for a little repair work on my kustom exhaust (that's right, with a K!) for the Showdown this weekend. Man, I love that car

Let's see some more, keep this thread alive!

 

I don't think you can get too many pics of these cars, I love 'em.

 

Chassis,engine and body all done, getting close now!!

 

lets keep it going, a few more bits done

 

Wow, this car is gorgeous! What intake is that?

Thanks.

 

The intake is a Johnston (cast by the central tool & foundry co, chicago) circa 1938/39

 

One I'm building for the old man in progress...

 

Another Aussie one...

 

Very cool. I'm going back and forth between a Tornado or a Hexagon Tool. I have a matching air cleaner for the Hexagon Tool, so that is edging out. Also, made in Dearborn, MI gives it a soft spot as well.

I like the odd ball ones!

 

I approve of this!!

 

Heres my '29 R.P.U. project.Mor-drop front axle with F100 brakes.F100 steering with Deuce wheel.Wheels are 4 and 4 1/2 x 16,tyres(tires!) are 600 and 700x16.Motor is a 289 backed by a T10,not period correct,I know but it will have a full hood to hide it!

 

photo taken by craig owens. just before the start of the may mystery run.

 

Best thread ever! I've been building my '31 roadster since January. It will be ready in about another month. Brookville body on A rails, full hood, '40 Merc dash and wheel, '39 box, '40 rear and 283 on steelies and whites. I'd post pictures if I knew how. This threads been many a late nights inspiration to keep working.

Thanks

 

DAMN!!! Perfect! That is just one good lookin roadster.

 

I like the tilt back on the shell, it matches the Duvall windshield. Gotta be hell on the radiator though!!

If you hide it, we won't tell!

 

Is it the late 1940's, or is it???

Naw, these are May 16, 2009 El Mirage.
