Wow, turned out great, Bob. Will we see it in the flesh next week at the Drags?

 

Beautiful piece of work!

 

Simple always works the best! Damn that's a sweet car.

 

WOW, this one will be in my and many more folks subscription file for future reference on how to get it right.
I'll be going back to this thread many times when I start in on mine.

only time will tell Andy

 

Looks great!! Did you have to clearence the firewall at all or run into fan clearence issues??

 

It doesn't get much better than that. Beautiful car man.

 

Very nice job on the ch***is, a great job on the X-member. Without a doubt a strong Model A setup. Congrats on a job well done. The FOGGER

 

Nice lookin ride!!!

 

One of the finest examples I have seen. Beautiful.

 

Great little car. Hope to see it soon.

 

Ha ha did I !!!


I didn,t cut the firewall at all although just a little clearance issue with the p***enger side cylinder head, I just warmed up the area and gently tapped it in so that I can remove the head (should I need to) but as for the fan that was probably the biggest headache of all time because of the Johnston intake it meant moving the dynamo (generator) the one of the heads I guess no problems there but using the Harmon & Collins mag threw a whole new ball game into the equation!! the depth of the mag meant that i had to remove the outer sheave of the crank pulley to fit it which meant that I had to get a single belt to go round all the pulleys. so some very careful measuring and fettling of the 37 fan I could just about get it in the required space I then had to modify a 8BA fan carrier (I think) to enable it to all work, boy was I glad to get that out of the way

 

Wow!! Looks just perfect! Nice work and nice choice of parts, lucky you!!
