Catman bought one too! Pictures show mine in the drive a few minutes after I got home. And the question is "Do you think I can build a HAMB grade rod out of it?"
she's in great shape.. c-dan's are dope! I'd suggest chopping it 10, set it 3" off the ground front to tail.. nailhead or rocket power.. you lucky *******..
Came out of a barn in Minnesota. I'm really surprised at how solid it is. Usual lower cowel rust - picked up the Howell's patch panels wile I was there for $45 - and a couple of spots across the back where the wood seat back runs. It will be getting an Olds 215, 38 banjo rear, Model A front axle, and wide five wheels. I'll set the chop after the ch***is is ready and the steering, pedals, and seat are fitted. I'm tall and I want to be able to fit and function. Cuz it is going to get driven.
Looks great. I just picked one up also. I will be starting it in a month or so. Chopped, lowered, flathead merc motor. Good luck with it. Rob
I'm not sure I've ever seen one with gl*** in it before. That strikes me as unusual. Why chop it? I'd just mount it on a forward slant. I like the tall roof.
I was wondering who bought that...did you see that full fendered Model A sedan in the building for 4950?
Actually, the subrails are solid. I'm a west coast guy. So it will ride on the rails and not over them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally Posted by Squablow "I'm not sure I've ever seen one with gl*** in it before.

It was already cracked and the bouncing seems to have shaked some of it loose. Laying on I-40 somewhere I guess. Fortunately, the original rear view mirror survived the trip. It is a cool item. As for the chop, the lid is going to come down a bit. The header over the windshield is going to be thinned down in the process as I am not planning on running a visor.
Satin black paint, pie-crust, whitewall slicks on chrome-reverse wheels and a great little 283 with a chromed, dropped and drilled, suicide mounted front axle but Please! PLEASE.....DON'T PUT A CHOPPED DEUCE SHELL ON A T... A nice T shell looks just right, IMHO. I can hear the lumpy cam now... I'm holding out for one too...been collecting parts for it already...a pair of American LaFrance headlights in primo condition. That should be enough for now. Check out these headlights!
