    Looks like the start of a nice little extended cab flat bed pickup...
     
  7. Since I have a vivid imagination, I see a speedster in the making...or, yes the extended cab pickup...maybe with a short bed.
     
  8. Part of the rear bumper is also an axle.

    firewall looks usable, for those of us needing to replace our "bitchin" one.

    The back bumper is a model T axle...what's left of it. Yes, lots of good parts left on that A.

    Me too. If it were closer, I'd be all over it.Heck, thanks to buying cars like this in the past, I've got the sheet metal to fix it.:D
     
  18. That's a great start on an extended cab pickup and you wouldn't have to feel bad about cutting up a coupe to build it.

    I'm missing some of mine, and the rest won't make through sand blasting...

    Barett, your coupe looks great so far. It sits great. I was sad to see no more pics in your album. You should upload some pics.

    I see parts there that would go a long way towards fixing mine, Barett's and several other guy's Model A's on here. The radiator shell and headlights look pretty savable.

    The idea of turning it into an extended cab truck isn't all that bad either. There might even be enough of the frame left to get the vin off.
     
  23. What was the price?

  24. Lot of good parts on there for a model A guy. Just think if that was a 32--34 coupe????

    I think everyone is nuts to only see parts.

    I'd buy it with the intent of building it.
    If the price was right, I'd grab it and search for some coupe quarter panels-they do surface occasionally. Brookville has a deck lid and tail panel, etc.

    Plus; is that it has garnish and most of the roof looks pretty straight. Doors will save. Cowl looks great. I'd sell off the seat, grille shell and other stock Model A parts (supension, etc.) to help fund the build.

    Stock or hammered, I'd be aiming at a Brian Bass style coupe..
