Projects 338ci Y-Block Wrapped Up in '30 Model A Tudor

All painted in the right places, no bare metal left on the body. The main job was to paint the places where the wood was going but I also got some black primer to shoot the wheel wells, firewall and the bare places where the chop was done. With plenty of primer left I shot most of the rest of the car to see what it would look like black. I think I like the green better, it will be that color again one day.

Garage paint booth.


Shooting the inside of the firewall.




Inside is a low gloss matte black.


Now I have a black floor instead of a blue one. (painted my wife's Herald in there too a few years back)


My wife Kathy sealed all the wood for me while I was painting, we'll start installing it this week.

 

Looking Good!!! I love the stance and look of your A.

 

Hey Tim, appreciate you taking the time to post your build.
Just looking great!

 

Lookin good Timmer, even the black floor........

 

Im gonna have to agree I like the green better too

 

First pieces of wood are in. I think the headers (front and sides) are the hardest pieces, once they are in it should go pretty easy.

Man,this is gonna be cool...

 

don't forget the trailer hitch!!!!

 

I've been thinkin' about that Carl.

 

nothin cooler than Elrod on the back of the Model A

 

Man this thing is coming together nicely, and pretty fast too. Can't wait to see this thing doin burn outs or something awesome!

Tim, That photo in the "paint booth" sure brought back some memories. In '91 a friend I worked with made a trip each weekend from Apr to Sep from Edwards AFB to my house (52 miles each way) (would take no money) and did the body work on my '41 Ford Tudor. We had the car down to a shell and painted it in my three car garage. We did the shell first and then the next time did all the fenders, hood and trunk lid later. It came out fairly well. As Rusty said it was the first time he painted a "football" ! ! !

Your "A" is going to be one Kool Ride !

Top wood is just about complete.

 

It'd go a lot faster if Bill would put that cup down and start working!

Trimming of the excess to match the header.







Drill every two inches for a nail.





All done for the night.

Tim you show off you !! Working with the garage door open

Wish I could get away with that at this time of year.

Looking good.

Man that looks great Tim, you make a good wood butcher............

 

Brilliant job!
Davo.

 

Convinced! Y-Block for me.

 

Engine is back in! Shifter is adjusted and driveshaft will be next. This thing may be ready for a test "putt" soon.

 

We expect video with a John Force burnout immediately following said "putt".

I second this.

 

I'd say make sure the brakes work first.

 

Good point! since all that's there right now is backing plates and drums. Nothin' inside but air. Kinda like my head sometimes.

 

Love this build ! I always look forward to the updates.

 

Looks like its comin together Tim very nice, I like the addition of the ram horns for that car, it fits nicely...But the way I Pm'd you a question about Jake...cheers and happy new year...

 

Nothing in my "in" box. ??
