Projects The Wade Model A Coupe: Build Thread & Photo Journal

I just got aroused and at my age thats saying something.Awesome inspiring
Thank you

 

So I just read all the posts and looked at all the pictures. I have to say I'm overwhelmed with how much talent and dedication you have Brian. Reading this makes me want to try even harder on my own projects, even step back...slow down and say to myself..."what would Brian do?" Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your expertise and knowledge Brian, you are a true master of the trade.

 

Mildly aggressive stance, has the chassis been pie cut, or is it the camera angle? Thanks for the update. Bob

 

Looks mean Brian!!! Great work. Always look forward to the updates.

 

Bob, the chassis has not been pie-cut...so I'm going to have to go with the camera angle.

"Mildy agressive" is not really what comes to mind when I look at this car. More like "mean sumbitch"...or "hide your kids, hide your wives"...or "it's the one that says bad motherfucker."

 

Can't wait to see what you do for the hood sides.. which brings up a question. Will the hood sides clear the Hemi with what you've done here or are you going to have to put blisters in the sides?

 

Looks great brian !...great stance....it says IM BAD ! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT THE WAY... Sweet !

Glad to see the update, using some of my sons words "Wicked", just a great attitude.....Jim

 

Yep, its bad ass.

 

Well Brian..... You are re-creating the meaning, of a traditional styled hot rod.....

Simply beautiful art work !

 

Looks good Brian. I have been wondering when you were going to get back on this. I'm sure you have many irons in the fire. Looks superb. Alway dig your stuff man! Dale

 

Brian,
How are you attaching the rivets on your dress up brackets, etc.?
I would like to use something (hardware, rivet, etc.) to emulate rivet heads on my motor mount brackets.
Thanks!

 

There isn't a scarcastic icon so I used a smiley instead. Bob

 

Lord almighty, your welding is awesome! Killer machine!

 

Hey Brian...love this thread, just spent alomost an hour loking at the early chassis pics for inspiration...Thanks again for answering my steering box and caster questions so quickly. This thing just has a bitchen profile and the stance is perfect, everyone needs a goal and I guess mine is to build something that inspires people the way this car inspired me.

 

Yep a lot of those chassis pics made their way into my desktop pictures album.

 

damn your good!!!!

 

Trunk floor finished.



Mounting the Indy Halibrand style fuel filler cap. I stamped the piece on the left myself.



























The trunk is almost complete now. I just have to do some finish welding and connect the cap to the tank. After I 'notch' the new decklid skin, I'll send it out for louvers before attaching it to the inner decklid panel.

 

Wow looks great as always Brian!

 

Very cool.

 

WOW. That fuel cap and plate are out of this world.

 

You are truely talented!

 

That last series of photos is a good indicator of why this car is taking so long to build.



-Brian

 

Fantastic work as always!
