Hot Rods Model a gasser

One Brent seems to have is sh!t together and the other just has a pile of parts. Hahaha.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^ This is too funny, one of my best friends is named Brent. When he was right out of high school he became friends with another guy named Brent. When my buddy’s birthday came up he asked his friend Brent if he wanted to come to his party. Friend Brent said he couldn’t cuz that day was his birthday too, same year! So they just combined the parties, been doing Brent/Brent parties together for over 40 years, twin brothers from different mothers! And they fit the HAMB Guidline, both 1961 models!

 

When I look at this car you can almost see the ghosts of the past rising off it. I got the same feelings when I found my Model A drag coupe. I wish and think about, If these cars could talk, all the crazy days and nights they could tell us about.

 

I’m not sure how I missed this thread all this time?? But I’ve kept up with you on IG. Had no idea you had a thread! Such a bitchin’ coupe man!

 

I think it takes just a little bit longer building a nice car like yours haha. I’m sure if it could talk it would have a few good stories! Cactus, this was just supposed to be an add to try to locate the car haha. I ended up getting a lot of ideas from people on here. I need to actually look around on here more often!

 

Lots of knowledge and great folks around here!

 

A few random videos of the car. I made a 12 mile round trip drive in it a few months ago. I had a chase truck following me with race fuel. I had to stop 5 times! Hopefully it will get pulled out again in the next few months and get some footage beating on it.

 

Very cool

 

Awesome, what a BEAST!

 

Hadn't seen this thread in a while, you've been busy! Thats very cool. what a blast to be driving it.

 

Those zoomies pointing straight down raising dust when you rev. Priceless. Can they be switched side to side to point up or would they not fit? Most tracks will not allow them to point down like they are.

Man, that sounds rowdy !

 

There’s room for them to be pointed out, but they are original to the car so just bolted them back on.

 

I like those vintage zoomies just the way they are.

 

Damn son!

 

Thinking the present tune up, idling and spark plugs don't get along well.

 

It’s definitely rich and doesn’t like be idled around, but surprisingly has only fouled a couple plugs the 4-5 times I’ve cruised it around town

 

Somehow I missed this thread until now. That is one of the coolest old gassers ever!

 

Thank you

 

Probably running fat to cover the WOT mode.

 

SO COOL !

 

Thanks man

 

I can only imagine being the little kid in a bike telling his friends the monster he saw cruising around town. None of them believe him but he’s sure it’s got to be hiding in a garage… some where.

 

Theres nothing like that first drive , that apprehensive feeling in the pit of your gut .. My legs are still trembling just watching the video.

Its not pretty, its as hard as nails , looks like it will suck you in if you get to close and spit you out of all 8 open pipes

You know you have the decibel level spot on when little kids are covering there ears . PERFECT ..

 

Thank you! I was definitely a little nervous the first time I put the car in gear haha. The videos don’t do the sound of the car justice. Hopefully will have some better videos sooner then later

 

Awesome sounds nasty and great to see it on the road again after sitting idol for years.
