Projects *model A sport coupester build*

Updated with skirts and tilted windshield:



Sorry the skirts dont look better...its the first I found on a Google search.

 

haha like a 32 frame ..

 

i wish i knew how to photo chop ..

 

Ha...yeah. I think its due to what's been bouncing around in my head. How to use an A frame, but make it look as 32 as possible. I think that doing the frame reveal on the skirts, to make the look, would be rad. Someone's probably already done it.

Anyway...here's a quick and dirty Photoslop of the top on there...I think that it would look better if you chop the windshield to get it look like this...you can see how much because I didn't erase the last photoshop job on the stanchions. Also changed the size of the tires to help push the correct look you're going for.

 

Cool build man think you will be able to drive it to macarther airport for the show and swap meet next weekend would like to see it up close. I used to work at the sunoco at 112 and old 112.

 

i doubt it will be there for the show no cash for the regi and insurance yet ..plus alot of bugs to work out still.ill be there in my 56 though... i might have to talk to t.j to fine tune my front end and steering on this thing.

 

i like the top but in black. with black wall tires i think when im finished it will have the look i want ....thanks for takeing your time to mess with the picture it looks almost like what i want it to look like ..

 

Like this?

 

yea exactly like that ..
damn i gotta figure out how to do that ..

can you do black wall tires to ???

 

Just straight shiny black?

 

flat black like real looking tires ...and if you could do the rims flat yellow .

 

With black tires/rims.....

 

o man you are fuking great looks like what i imagine in my head ...just with a white number 00 on the side ....thanks

 

It continues....

And because I'm a selfish prick....here's how I'd love to run mine with the open hood sides....




I'm not sure about the yellow rims....unless you're running with a black body, the yellow is likely to clash with the red primer. Just my opinion....but I can try it if you like.

 

haha ..nah its cool looks good ..nah i like the black wheels its my 1st choice i just was wondering what color to run but i like the black ..the way you did it is exactly how it will look minus the open hood just cause the motor is not so traditional ..and it will have some old style dirt track writeing on the hood side a louverd hood and some numbers on it ...other than that its pretty much finished ..just working out kinks now steering is super sloppy it needs to be tightend up alot and the carb is beeing corky...everything else is cake from there ..only other thing would to try to make the rear tire a bigger one other than that its perfect

 

I think your doing a good job so far on your own. But tj will be able to work those bugs out for you

 

im def doing what i do ...ive never had help with any car ive built before but 2 heads are better than one. it will be my last resort if i cant figure it out. im kinda low on funds

 

After this one, I think I'm calling it a night!

 

cool .....thanks again man ill get the 3/4 for you as soon as i can

 

Ok...I lied...I promise...last one tonight...larger rear tires.

 

perfect ......

 

Nice start, the 2.3L is probably not a bad idea with $4 gas on the horizon.

 

yes sir thats why i went 4 cylinder i want to have a hot rod without the expence....25 miles to the gallon ..

 

Well there are a lot of threads here to look at and read that are really informative don't be in a hurry and you'll be fine good luck. Oh yeah I have a 30 roadster I just picked up so your inspiring me too.

 

nice get a post up on the build ,....

 

I will when I start it for su

 

nice work, looking forward to seeing this through! lots of pretty cool projects happening at the moment. I'm starting on an A roadster with an I6 in it.

Cheers

Glenn

 

Sports coupes are so bad ass! There like a good "tranny", you get the best of both worlds.
