    I just finished up my latest model A and drove it a whopping 25 Miles and put it on Craig's List for the heck of it and it sold in 1 hour.. I've got a 1938 sedan to work on and I think I want to buy a Falcon or Comet.. I think I'm done building Models A's but I've built so many A's over the last dozen years I feel like I've lost a good friend.. I don't really know why I'm writing this thread, I just am.. Thanks for listening.. Oh yea, I'm looking for a hardtop Falcon or Comet, Milo.... 100_3565.JPG 100_3565.JPG 50\'s show rod 001.JPG 100_0245.JPG 096.JPG 29 sedan almost 003.JPG MR 800 for sale 010.JPG

    All great builds, did you chop the coupe on 32 rails and wide fives ? Look cool.

    That is a real great looking Falcon! Soo much you can do to the car to make it your personal one of a kind. Or just leave it alone ( ya right ) . Any way, good find and have fun with it !

    Milo, you dog! Didn't even get to see any "finished" pics of the latest A. Whatever you build, next I'm sure will be just as Kool. Be safe my friend.
