    Have been in and around hot rods my whole life. My dad has built and owned many A models but this is my first. Its something ive always dreamed of having even though i have other hot rods an A model to me is just the the end all be all of hot rodding and i am shocked everytime i walk in the garage and realize that i actually own one. So heres a few pictures of the progress so far....[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  5. When you paste in your photo URL, hit the return bar a time or two and then the pictures will stack.

    I really like the six, I almost went that way myself but scored an almost free Y block instead. What is the scoop thingy on the cowl where the gas cap would be? I like the way your truck sits....looks like a hoot to drive.

    the scoop on the cowl is my A/C really pushes a ton of air through the cab on a hot day! thanks and it is a blast to drive even though ive not got to drive it but a few miles its been a blast hopin to be 100% roadworthy and painted in a couple of months
