Hi all, I am deciding to list my car for sale here, after some consideration. It is pretty complete, but needs body work and finish details to be a show car. The good thing is that it runs and drives great, all the parts are here, and everything is rebuilt and rust free. Got it up past 70mph and it tracks super straight (one hand on the wheel). On my side, the reason for sale is that I am looking to just move onto the next build. 1940 Flathead V8 1937 transmission (worn 2nd synchro, have to hold in gear) Model A rear end Reverse eye main rear spring, leaves received Vern tardel treatment Rear stack Z Front posie super slide reverse eye pack 38-40 front juice brakes 46-48 rear juice brakes; backing plates flipped 180 degrees Model A pedals Boxed frame with 1/8 inch drilled plate Crossmembers added to frame for stiffness Jegs universal 2-pot master Odyssey Battery WWII oxygen tanks converted to gas tanks and mounted in custom floor in trunk- with rollover valve/ vent Ni-cu brake lines Brookeville grille Smoothed gas tank 46 ford dash (speedo, oil pressure work) F1 steering box New wood coated with 2x minwax helmsman spar varnish prior to assembly Button-down removable canvas top Windows are lexan; non permanent (finalize chop and get glass after) Dodge caravan seat recovered with vinyl WWII bomber seatbelts for both driver and passenger New stromberg 97 carb Crab distributor Two pulley setup for fan Single Pontiac tail light (need a new brake light switch; I may tackle this soon) Body is fully patched, epoxy primer sealed with southern polyurethane Louvered deck lid (needs inner structure). Was media blasted prior to paint 4.50 in front, 7.00 in rear on 35 wires I would suggest a new passenger door if you want a show car; it is the roughest part. Reach out with questions!
