Finally on the road **pics**

Well after a 15 month thrash my A is a driver. Of course there is still lots to do, but it can now serve the purpose of transportation. The quick rundown is a french flatty, T-5, suicide front end with a 10 inch kick in the rear. I chopped 3.5"s outta the top and added 3.5"s to the door length. I also wacked 12"s out of the bed. I even convinced my better half to take it for a spin. She really dug my '40, but has been lukewarm about the A. I think the sweet sound of the flatty's open pipes changed her mind.

 

very nice job sir.. my hats off... what for grill is that?.. tractor?... looks like it could be an international harverster (300 or so, wide front)... very nice choice if it is

 

Good looking ride,the lengthened doors adds to the lowered look.

 

Cool lookin' Hot Rod !!! Thanks for sharin' the pics.
That's pretty sweet.
(now just paint the wheels yellow for that John Deere Rod look!)

 

thats wicked lookin man, keep it up bro

Cheers

 

Hmmm …… I’ve been wondering how to attack my ’29. You’ve given me some great ideas, thanks. Oh yeah, great looking A-Bone

 

You got your self a awsome little pick up there.

 

Sweeeet.... hey man, the skies just cleared up in-town, might be yer perfect chance to take another ride! You mentioned pinstriping on the grille, got any close-ups? Have fun, bud!

 

I love the way your did it, it's outside the box, and has charactor and coolness. Waaaaaaaay to Go ! Enjoy and have FUN !

 

Maybe it was someone else mentioning pinstriping on a grille. Yeah, this one's a real eye-catcher in person, because of all the interesting details. Crusty Nut may be "offline" for some time... Right on.

 

Nice job. Lot's of mods. It's got to be nice to have weather nice enough to drive a hot rod!

 

thanks guys, the grill is a Ross tractor grill. I did get a little striping done on the nose, just don't have any resized pics of that.

 

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET lookin' A bone.

Good job, Matt !!

Now- go out to Highway 101.
Turn NORTH on Highway 101
Go about 83 miles.
Turn LEFT on 5th Street.
Turn RIGHT at the Pacific Ocean..

You know the rest.

Congrats, cool looking truck, and believe me, gentlemen, it's even cooler in person.

 

Really nice! ... where did you get your French Flatty? and how do you like it?

 

I got my flatty from a guy in Texas. It is a 4" crank motor. I really like it alot. It runs killer, has awsome oil pressure and you ought to see how clean the water jackets are! It also cost roughly the same or less than a good rebuild. If you want his contact info PM me.

 

I will come up soon. Also, still waiting for your fenders.

 

Now that really looks good. One question, how come you don't have any of that white stuff along the roads. We've got plenty here and will be glad to send you some.

That`s not the same truck that I saw on here mocked up in front of a garage a while back is it? Dam, I need to get my butt in gear. Looks great & alot of character to it!

 

Thanks alot, I've been busting ass on this as there is a baby on the way and my garage time will surely be less for a while.
