Projects 1930 model a coupe

Hey all, just sharing the 1930 model a coupe I just picked up. Not sure what direction I want to go with it yet. The car was sitting since 2014 here in Iowa. I got it running so far but,still need to clean the carb in order to drive it.

Good catch. Beautiful................Bob.............

 

She's a real looker.

 

Only three things need to be done to this car. 1, overhead valve conversion. 2, ditch the fenders. 3, Chop the top.

 

Nice find. Keep us posted.

 

Thats got ALL the factory options, cowl lights and everything!

 

And 2 welled fenders.Hopped banger and drive as is.

 

Drive around and enjoy!! Don't hurry... You have sweet little Ride!!

 

Looks like a great car to start with. Going to be fun when it warms up!

 

Get it running and driving good as it is and drive the snot out of it !

 

Very cool car, just enjoy it for awhile and think about it.

 

That screams out sleeper to me. Update the brakes and driveline and keep the rest stock, just imagine the fun you would have taking off from the traffic lights or cruising the interstate.

 

Very nice. Any plans to modify the coupe??

 

beauty leave well alone .change the fluids grease everything that should be greased .fill it up and drive it

 

I am kind of thinking this direction.

^^^^^ I agree.

 

Tardell has just put out a book about building an Av8, that style would be cool, although a hopped up Banger would be a grouse thing!

 

It is in such good condition that I would restore it. How is the rumble seat?

 

agreed.it s too nice to be fucking about with it

 

I just re ordered the book. It will probably be a slow transition to the av8 and stay a banger while I gather everything needed.

 

The rumble seat area is nice. However, the rumble lid its self is fiberglass for now.

 

Sweet! ..and good weekend for A's. I also just picked up a 30 that too is in the "almost to nice to mess with category". My vision is exactly as you posted but perhaps with the tall roof. ...still undecided.

Good luck with yours - I'll be watching!

Let's see yours.

Man that's nice. I like your vision. V8, full closed hood, full fendered, stance & rubber rake. Yowza!

 

Here you go!

Just in case you were curious. Did a few mods to the banger to get it to talk a little louder....
