Features all AV8 picture thread

I still have a long way to go, but here's mine;

 

This is mine finished late last year and i'm just waiting for all the snow to go so i can start to put some miles on it and iron out any bugs that might spring up !! What a great thread

 

Here's the thread I used to help me make the hood.....great thread IMO. Thanks BuschandBusch.

It came out ok. The LH side appears to be running uphill because of the way it looks with the louvers. The grill shell is actually at the right height for the cowl. Anyways, it was my first attempt at sheetmetal work! Maybe one day I'll make another one to improve it.

The sides are actually '30-'31's cut down vertically and extended horizontally to fit. Cheap swap meet scores.

Back to real AV8's - sorry for the diversion.

I want to see more of this one!!!

 

BobBooth car looks really great. Look forward to seeing it out and about this summer.
Here's Old Rusty, my 31 on 32 rails - (I was told not strictly an A-V8) - with a very tall gentleman.

wow nice car!!

 

ok here is is again out in the cold got the cross member welded and the fan put together and in place.ts about 1/2 inch from the radiator is that to close?

 

One I'm building ATM for the Old Man

 

There's gotta be more!

 

TTT, who could ever get tired of Model A's?

 

Seems too close to me. Considering the flex you can get in an A chassis, I'd want an inch, minimum.

29 special coupe with a 59AB flatty, 35 trans, and 41 Merc rear.

 

1/2 inch seems Ideal to cool the flatmotors from what I've seen. it's best to run the radiator support rods (from cowl to top tank) to keep the honeycomb in place

 

Here's my Dad's old car, which he did in 1958:

 

Mine...




Almost finished.


Unsplit wishbones, english 21 stud, ,39 gearbox, ,40 rear and brakes.

 

here's my pride and joy. Just waiting for the snow to melt and the roads to dry up. Can't come soon enough for me.

 

Slow going but it's getting there....

 

cool pictures

 

best thread ever!!

matt

 

Anymore for anymore?

Who's got some more to show?

 

Fenders back on.

 

Here's another:

 

Bump... For good times.

 

Okay I'm in

 

One of my favorites …. hot rod revolution....dont know who owns it.

 

Some? haha, looks like the only thing that's not brookville is the cowl top/gas tank...that's not included in the brookville roadster base price

Not that it's a bad thing...if I ever build another hotrod it's gonna be %100 brookville on an original A frame.

Forget the body work and all the bullshit with crusty old roadsters, bolt er up and driver in primer! lol

Seriously nice car dude! Wish it was mine.

Steve

 

...glad you brought this up....

 

No really what it is about, but still history making V8's

Quoted from Wheels Magazine Australia.

Eight great V8's
Welcome to our ode to the modern era of vee-eight glory.
Here, in no particular order, are eight rip-roaring v8s that rocked our world and fried our tyres.
