Projects Drdave accidentally buys a Model A. Now what?

Eh just get an air stream to pull behind the coupe!

 

Really special times, glad you can find time to goof off with the grandkids and car looks great!

 

Well, I’ve gone and done it again, and this time, the A really has to go. Michelle and I were out of town this weekend and while we were out driving around, turned the corner and wouldn’t you know, stumbled on this here chopped ‘34 sedan that juuuuuust happened to be for sale. Drove real nice, very comfortable, tube axle with 4 bars, Ford rear. Street roddy interior and some billet, but all in all a real nice car. He wasn’t out of range on the price, but Michelle and I talked about it and certainly the A would have to go, but isn’t ready to sell, and without a parking place, now really wasn’t the time. So, called to say I was going to pass and the seller was ready to move and asked what I’d have to give to make the deal now. Shot a number and he said come pick it up. Well, what the heck is a guy supposed to do….right? So, I present the Unexpected ‘34….

 

You are going to just need to build a bigger shop... Very cool and congrats! What does it have for drivetrain?

 

Very kool .

 

350/350. Made the hour and half drive home without a hitch. Really a tight little car all things considered…75-80 no trouble. The A has been a fun around town car, but this will be a nice road car and more usable than the A. It’s been a fun run, but it’s time to move on. I’ll finish installing the new interior and then list it up for sale. Hopefully I can get that done in half short order as I’m really, really, REALLY out of parking places. The Tbird had been in the garage since the Impala arrived last year. I JUST got the shop rearranged two weeks ago to get the Bird back in so I could have room in the garage to finish the doors for the lake reno. :/ At least I have a place for it today, but a log jam is rapidly approaching. Haha

 

Just in time to get a bunch of miles racked up on it this summer!

 

Great find you lucky dog! Really hope you find time to enjoy it!

 

I like the A, but I like the sedan more!

Waiting to see your thread as you traditionalise it. You have a good start with current look.

 

That 34 looks and sits nice! Have fun with it.

 

Thanks guys. Pretty stoked about it. @pprather a debilletizing is certainly on the docket. Michelle said the first thing that has to go is the steering wheel. Lol. The interior is not my choice, but I don’t hate it. Hard to change that anytime soon, but the billet and a few other items will be not too bad to change to my taste. Unstreetrodderizing the Unexpected ‘34….I shall start the thread soon.

 

nice.............

 

Wow!, neat sedan...
chopped 34 = dream body style.
Gonna need a fresh round of pics here soon.

 

WOW
That ‘34 is BADASS!!!!
I’d keep that over the A for sure
