Barn Find Coupe see some Tejas sun-Dirty style

Well it has been about 4 weeks or so since I started working on Roberts (A31MOFO) Model a Coupe and it is starting to look like a Hot Rod. I rolled it outside yesterday for the first time since it has been at my shop getting new subrails, body mounted to the frame, and steering column and steering set up. Was trying to get it ready for Bowling Green but it does not look like it will make it. Next goal will be the Hamb Drags.

Next on the list is to set up the brake and clutch pedals, finish some floor braces in the front, fill some holes in the firewall, and then the pops can take off with the mechanics. Gonna be a real cool car. I cant wait till it hits the streets.

Heres the pics







My help for the weekend

 

The side

I'm likin it , I always wanted to see how you guys are doing the sub floor supports ,sweet coupe!

 

Lookin' good man!

 

Sure would like to go to B.G. with you guys. Maybe the car gods will give us a chance and I will get to go. Thanks to both you and your dad (Danny) for everything. You were right my dick got a hard on when I saw the pic's. Sould be at your house today around 6:00 TO GET R DONE!!!!

 

I love it.

 

Very nice work !!! Wish I had time to come out. To busy trying to make house payment , and keeping business going !!

 

Ruler!!!

 

Very nice! Keep updates coming.

 

Looks great! Thanks for that shot of the rear subframe work, that's next on my list to do.

 

That is still the goal but I only got two more weeks that I can thrash on it for you. I will be heading out of town the week before to go to Missouri and then Bowling Green, KY. We will see.

 

Looking good, nice details pics too.

 

that coupe is awesome

 

No Ka Oi!

 

That thing looks RIGHT!

Wheres the frame from?

 

Street rod garage. But dont and I repeat dont get one from them. Dirty31 can build 1 twice as nice !!!

 

Looks great man...

It's nice the old guy's let us young ones at it every now and then!!!

Car looks great
HRD

 

Looks good, but would look awsome with big bad MEL in it. The sbc chevy just looks way to common.

 

The funny part is Dirty31 built a shop for his cars and his got kicked out! Between mine and this one his got stuck in the house garage

 

Perfect chop, stance and wheel sizes! ...lookin good!!

 

...hmmm...that stance looks vaguely familiar... ...ain't cute lil midgets fun?...

 

Nice work. Lot of cool tin rolling out of there. I don't think you live in Combine....more like Coolsville or Hot Rod Heaven!

 

Not that good Larry but close. Them kids are a blast. I used to care if she slowed me down now I just set back and watch her and laugh. Thanks for all the compliments. This aught to be a really cool car when it it done.

 

if you think she is cute you need to see the new baby boy. Its scary how much he looks like Dirty31

 

Poor kid!!

 

I'm very familiar with 30-31 style Model A coupes. But I've always worked with Model A's on A style frames, I never did get a chance to use a 32 frame.

Nice to see the detailed photos of what's involved with making the conversion to the 32 chassis.

Is the rear part of the new subrail basically a piece of heavy guage flat stock laid on the top of the frame rail with a rectangulaar length of tube cut and bent to fit over on top of that?

Nice job!
