Projects Model A

Getting truer by the minute... currently at 30-70 and growing... The one redeeming feature is that it has a 27' clear title...

 

Thanks for the thread link will definitely peruse... However I am going with a max-1

 

So started removing the windshield... What a PIA

 

The PO didn't skimp on window epoxy

 

He really believed in it...

 

getting closer

 

so after an hour or so I finally got it outta there!

 

Then I used this:

 

To remove this: A hacksaw would have taken all day... lol

 

Started taking the paint off to see what lies beneath...

 

ouch!

 

distant view

 

Got bored and jumped to the cowl... not bad there!

 

got tired so I brought it inside... Chopped the table down about 8" (dry run for the 8" roof chop!)

 

got ance and worked the cowl some more... Not bad for 80 year old steel!

 

another view... Inhaling paint sucks...

 

Simpson Strong ties rock!

 

Mango is an awesome fruit...

 

The rear passenger side is horrific!

 

sliced my finger so its time to go in

 

Just realized this is my anniversary on the HAMB... 1 year to the exact day! Happy birthday to me etc...

 

What? No picture of the bodily (human) carnage?

 

Sorry man even though it was rated G for Gory this was not for general audiences... I'm going to stitch myself up...

 

Question to people following this thread... Should I remove and patch up the gas tank access panel on the cowl? it will serve no function for me....

 

Nice build. Are you going to chop it? I think it would look really good with a chop, just saying. I got a '27 coupe, have a thread its called teenagers '27. good luck with your build!

 

Yes sir! I am going to chop the bejesus out of it... I am in the planning stages currently to find the most strategic cutting planes to remove as much cancer as possible. I don't want to have a mail box rear window so I will do a sectioned chop... Thanks for the kind words! and good luck with your T.

PS I was the older brother in your scenario close to 20 years ago. I also went to a technical school where they taught us vocational trades. America is a beautiful place where dreams come true every day. Your a living testament to that!

 

look forward to your body work.. never done any my self.. that cancer in the pillars if you can get rid of that by a chop.. score. keep up the good work.
chris.

 

thats good, I was thinking it were mine I'd chop it so much lol. If I had another one, id make it into a rat rod, love the looks of them chopped and so low. I was reading the 1st page on this, and man they got mad at a lot of things. haha

 

Leave it as a cowl vent. You don't believe what a difference it will make on a hot day!

 

Coming up... and thanks for the words...

it is what it is... I still don't mind technically sound "rat-rods" just the way they look etc as I'm a chopper guy... ps please don't use the R would in public on this thread, I have already taken a horrific thrashing... LOL

As you wish my master... But i was thinking of making some reverse stamped louvers for the cooling action... Just don't know yet...
