Hot Rods Curious: Who all's got Model A's in the works?

ZING!!!!

 

Got the body work done. Started the frame this weekend.

 

Bought this in Feb '06:

A few weeks ago:

 

About to get started on this one

 

Wow that's alot of A's, and here's one more to add to the bunch.
My 29 Av8 roadster.



Me-oh

 

Here's mine, props to littleman for the frame inspiration I have only had this car for about 2 months, hoping to have it on the road soon.

 

I'm starting a '30 Coupe this year, I'm trying to track a frame down for it now, I have a flathead I've stripped down, and is ready for the machine shop (it looks good to me, but the magniflux will verify).

I need to find someone locally with flathead and /or hot rod experience to guide me, and point me in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, this web site is great, but I don't think anything can take the place of one-on-one interaction!

 

30' model A ratrod project. Chopping the roof 6 inches. Project for this winter for next years car show season.

 

here is all the further i have got since march

Not a recent pic but anyway here's my project, a 31 Sedan. As you might see I've cheated with the roofchop (Photoshop), it inspires me to keep workin' on the car! The reversed firewall will let me be able to use the hood if I want to, didnt want to chop it up too much, which I had been forced too do.

 

looks good man..whats that beside it??

 

My dads project, a fiberglass 32 with Chevy 350 and a 6:71 blower (not on pic).

 

looks like a hellofa start!!!!nice vibe in that garage!!!

 

got a started project a few weeks ago. 30 A coupe. chopped 6 inches, boxed frame, 4 inch drop front axle, 40 ford rear, 35 ford wires and old firestone dirt track tires. very cool project.
going to run a 50 ford flatty, s10 5-speed trans with open drive conversion on the rear, got a dash from a 59 impala that i will cut down

trying to figure out the best rear suspension for it. only got the buggy spring now. have hairpins for the front (pete+jake) so was thinking that ladder bars would be good. any suggestions. pj's is kinda expensive

 

I have got a '30 model A coupe chopped 4 inches in the works. Putting it on '32 rails, SBC with three deuces, TH350, 9 inch rearend, '40 ford split bones, '40 ford steeringbox, column & wheel, '32 rad shell, guide 682C headlights, '40 ford 16x4 wheels with 600-16 black walls in front, 750-16 black walls in the rear. Looking at running Wilson Welding finned backing plates with Buick Alum drums front and rear. Planning on posting pic's of the build as soon as I get all the parts rounded up, I have most everthing other than the frame, tires and the brake backing plates.

Update: I'm making a mess with body work now.......

 

My 31 A chopped 2" coupe is in pieces while I finish up the chassis .....this winter I hope to get the body reassembled and ready for the body work in the spring...

Right now I'm driving my 28 "A" Woodie...for a pic of that click on my yahoo logo and see it at member's profiles...

 

You got all these good parts ...... the $400 cost of a set of Pete and Jake's Ladder bars isn't out of reason....bite the bullet and ask/tell Santa ....you've been a good boy all year long!

 

Here's mine,hope to get started on it soon,gettin everything together.Looking at everybody elses, makes me pretty jelous,and ready to get in gear

 

Here's a few pics of my project, just got it so I haven't done much yet. Still collecting parts at the moment.

 

One or two or three from Australia. I have pushed this into a shed until next year. Plans are 500 Caddy motor and perhaps leave the body stock.



And am looking at this one currently as a summer ride.



Had thought about buying this and rodding it but its probably too good for that.

 

My '30 Pickup soon after I started collecting the pieces...


At the new shop awaiting a chassis among other things...


Well, here's a chassis, but I'm not going to use it...


Sculpted a new top cab corner that was previously crushed...


Been put on a hiatus since I'm trying to finish my '57 IHC Binder. Got a buttload of parts, but need to finish the chassis and some fab work. Wheen all said and done it'll have a 5" channel, 2" chop, 345hp Lincoln V8, 3-spd, sprint steering, suicide '42 Front with juice drums, split bones, 4-bar, 9", Black Bias plys on '41 Ford Steelies...blah blah blah.

 

30 coupe

 

28, 371 j/2 olds

 

Here's my roadster

 

Is that your beer belly, bro?
Bottom right.. hahaha
Your roadster is nice..

 

Hahaha! Hey Al, I don't know who that was, didn't even notice, was taken @ our house during the Thunderbolts Halloween party so could be any of the usual suspects. Amazing that Cindy let someone take her picture.

 

I got one given to me the other day, supposed to be a coupe. Went out see how to pull it out of the woods, turns out it's a Vicky, pretty damn rough but not too rough to save.
