Projects Model A Coupe build............

Long time lurker on the Hamb, never posted much. So much inspiration on here and good info. Thought I'd post my build. This is my first model A build, super stoked.
So far have the body in need of patch panels all around 30/31 (no deck lid, going to fab up a louverd one), model A frame, doors, tank/cowl, windshield frame, visor, 30 grill shell, steering box, front brakes, spindles & hubs (new), 4" drop axle (new), reverse eye mono leaf (new), lower shock mounts (new), dropped steering arms (new), front split wishbones ,40 ford rear end with brakes, drive shaft & torque tube, rear leaf spring.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, don't really have a ******** direction other than chopped 4" channel over the frame.

Hinge pins were a *****. Drilled out with a 1/8" bit then slowly bored them out with my foredom.

Had to order replacements, the old ones were torched off. Not fun at all. The whole drivers side A pillar was torched out.

high quality work

 

Nice work so far. Following

 

nice work so far, i see that you are replacing the wood with metal. have you thought of not channeling it and mounting it on a `32 frame? i really like that look

 

Sounds like you're off to a great start on a very traditional hot rod.

 

That's a good day's work!

 

I like the deuce frame as well but this one is going to be low.

Love Model A coupes- just bought #5 ( and I'm still allowed in the house).
Good luck with it-Save another one!

 

Quality work so far.. Going to be a nice coupe with it seems good parts.. Keep at it...

 

looks good man,

 

Stripped the rest of the paint today. Didn't work as well as it did a couple weeks ago. The shop was way to hot, the paint stripper turned to paste after 10 minutes. Got most of it off. The rest I'll sand off.

 

Soda blasted the p***enger door, prepping for patch panel.

Uploading all these pics from my phone, don't know why some are sideways. Oh well you get the idea.

Have fun! Bout half way through my model A build. Are u going to be a rebel like me and leave it unchopped?! [emoji41]

 

Kinda ironic these days, being a rebel is not chopping it. But no I've waited a long time to build this one, it's getting chopped 4". Can't wait to even be halfway done.

Great start, this will be cool to watch.

 

Yup, I'm watchin !

 

Watching also

 

What a follower! ha ha just kidding. If i had enough balls to do it myself, i would probably chop mine too but i don't so it will stay unchopped for now at least!

 

Started welding in the steel structure to replace the wood.

Epoxy sealed the inside before I started welding in the steel structure.
