just finished my project over the weekend.

well its not 100% finished but i was able to take it down the road till my gas tank started to leak a bit,a few minor things and its done.

been workin on this for 2 years pretty hard to get it done,got it has a bare frame and a few body panels. built it myself,its not perfect but not bad for a young'in. had lots of advice from folks on here and it helped. thanks h.a.m.b

 

this is what it looked like when i got it. held together with some rope and some chain.didnt even have leaf springs under. just sitting on top of some shabby axles.

 

Great start! Enjoy it.

 

thanks, the velocity stack will be getting changed. its just something i had to throw on it so i wouldnt be ****ing birds in it haha.

 

look goods enjoy

 

Congrats. Looks solid. Gary

 

Fantastic! Looks like your'll have a lot of fun in it.

 

Great job!! Keep up the good work. Looks like you are going to have a lot of fun.

 

thanks guys, i realy apreaciate the kind words.

 

Cool! Old school looking.....Not another "draggin the ground" car.

 

I like it a lot. I had a chopped, fenderless '30 Model A coupe 35 years ago, same color primer.

 

Bad Bob- yeah i dont care much for them an inch of the ground and mail slot windows. honestly, this would have had a flathead in it as well if i could have afforded it. but i didnt have the funds so i made what i have look as old as i could.

3 inch chop,6 inch rear kickup, i tried making it as traditional as i could with my buget. im happy with its stance. it sure wasnt what i was expecting when i took it around the block!

 

thanks man,yeah im tired of seeing flat black and skulls for paint jobs.

i blended in the visor,and the roof to take out that gap that the early A's have. almost gives it a '30-31 feel

 

Congratulations on being able to run it around!!!

Enjoy the hell out of it!

...by the way...most are NEVER done!

Love it ,

BUT

Leaking gas tank IS Not a SMALL problem....

Get that fixed quick.......

Then drive the pee pee out of it....

Be proud and enjoy......

 

yep,your right. i plan on just riging something up behind the seat (only place i have room for. i havnt figured it out yet and still leave leg room for the rumble seat

 

Love it man!! Way to go!

 

Lookin good! I don't know if it needs much more. Has a real rod feel to it. Cool!

 

I need an A coupe...

 

i like the basic, the way it would have looked look. good job

 

Looking great! It's certainly something you can be proud of, well done!

 

Well at least you didn't paint it blue. I hate blue cars.

Good on ya young man. I'm jazzed.

 

Great looking car and getting them running is cool...... Be careful with the tank.......... don't just rig something up make sure its safe and fastened down well put a rollover valve in the vent so if you ever turn it over you don't get covered with gas.......

 

You should have painted it blue.

 

Meeny

 

thanks, thats what i was going for in my head when i started on it, i wanted it to look like something you would have seen,rather than a modern recreation of whats 'cool'

i bought a large pipe today to start on the gastank. im not happy with the size so ill keep looking. i did start on some home made baffles tho!

 

thanks man,i remember you giving me advice a while back.

 

Looks real good. I like the style you're sticking to. Get that leak fixed and have fun driving it. I wish I had your weather!
