Projects 60's Era Street/Strip Model A Coupe

As you can tell I like them white . Looking great Brent, thanks for the pics, I can't get enough of your car.

 

I vote white! (Not that you were asking! )

 

Pinstriping and even some kooky slang on the Pumpkin is period correct and is a potential option to consider...on Ole Nasty...

 

A HAMB member just reminded me of where I started.





Glad I didn't sell it any of the 100 times I considered it AND the time I actually listed it for sale.

 

EXCELLENT PIC

 

Normally I strongly dislike tires that stick out past the fenders. Ruins the head on look for me... BUT, on this car, I really dig the look!

 

That ol' saying, mean as cats piss.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks, Speedy! I know it's not for everyone.

There's a hell of a compliment!

Thank you!

 

Thanks, Enloe!

 

How about white stripes?

I like Ol' Nasty. Haha. I'm not one for names... but it's going to get striped, I'm pretty sure.

 

Brent, I don't know what else I could possibly say, other than, this car is ABSOLUTELY TIT'S!!! You're Killin' it Man! I can't wait to see it completed!

 

Perfect

 

Killer!!!

The coupe has never been seen at this level of mock-up.

 

I don’t know about the rear wheels Brent. Pretty wide. Maybe you should send them back.

The tires would be terrible in all the snow you guys get.

 

So good

 

Thanks, Tim!

 

Can't wait to see it done!

 

Now that is a badass wicked evil hot rod.

 

Me too! Looking forward to picking it up and bringing it home to finish it.

Thanks, Mike! Best thing I've heard all day!

 

Love this build, how much more engine set back did you get from reversing the firewall? Distributor room?

 

Thanks so much!!

I think overall the flip adds 6.5" or so from stock. At the moment, I can't remember exactly.

The distributor clears, even with the setback. Anything bigger, though, and I have to cut in.

Setback, was something we played with. There is a lot going on with the steering, clutch slave, top of the bell housing, shifter location,, etc.

While I don't have the number at the moment, I do remember that the setback took the car out of gas class and put it into altered by 1" according to the mid-60s NHRA rules.

Those rules have been a guideline for much of the car's plan.

 

Man, I love this car! Great job.

 

Awesome coupe

 

Thanks so much, fellas. I appreciate it.

 

Rear Frame Horns on a Model A Coupe:

Not so much of an update as a couple of closer details on the rear frame horns with the body and fenders in place.

 

Thanks for the update and haven’t been up to Ryans for a few months now with this craziness going on. She sure is going to be Wicked !

 

I was wondering if you had seen it in person. If you are at Ryan's before me, sneak some pics!
