Projects Back from the dead… and better than ever - Model A roadster build

Finally got some time to spend in the shop tonight. I got started on my steering box. First I made an insert that allows me to use my live center to support the box.


Swapped over to the 4-jaw chuck and got everything indicated and tight. You can tell we dont use the 4-jaw much by all the surface rust…


Progress has been slow because I only get a couple hours a week to work on this car anymore but Im slowly chipping away. My goal is to have it ready for the 2026 Hotrod Showdown in 8-ish months

 

Noice!

 

I got the torque tube and driveshaft welded back up and the rear end back in the car. Ive spent the last couple days cleaning and organizing because Ive got some friends coming up tomorrow night for some Pizza, beers, and heavy lifting. Hopefully Ill have another update to share once the night is over

 

With some help from a few friends, the body is now back on the frame! MAN this thing is looking so good. The more I look, the more my to-do list grows but I am beyond stoked to see the car in (mostly) one piece.

 

Lookin’ GOOD!
There’s just something about a 29 with the smaller body and cowl detail that looks like a Hotrod.
