Ten working? I see at least 2 accelerator pump rods missing in that pic.

 

Do YOU actually think YOU can feed a 331ci engine in a 1,800 pound car with 6 accelerator pumps? (Be my guest… I’d like to watch) All 6 carbs are wet and working on that car. I know… I set them up. The 2 in the middle are the primarys and the 4 on the ends are progressive. And it works very well thank you.

Ahh... I see. No need to get touchy, I was just goin by the pic.

 

'29 all the way!!! Looks great, more realistic, not so, IMHO, "cartoony"

 

Thanks for the inspiration, great pics of great cars,..however i do prefer the wheel-well lines copasetic to the top of the tires ( or belt line consistensy) on the one.

 

Thanks for the bttt.

This is the post that turned me on to the HAMB 2 1/2 years ago. I did a google search "Model a on 32 rails". My life has never been the same!

Hell nice guys. Lets hang out I wont drroooll when you are looking. well maybe a little. Great hot rod porn naked steel.

 

Uh oh.....maybe I should build mine on 32 rails.... Thanks for a great thread.

 

do you have picture, 32 frame? hufr@msn.com

thanks

 

I just done a search on google 'chopped model a coupe' and found this!

Absolutely Awesome, my dream rod. I NEED one of these!!!!!

Thanks for the pics

 

I had forgotten all about this thread. Thanks to I Like Cars for bumping this back up to remind me..

 

Bass, I think your coupe rocks the best. The chop is just right, plus I like the 32 style top without the visor. I'm building a bare metal 31 coupe presently. Needing to find someone for the chop. Know of anyone that's reasonable?

 

Saw Bass's coupe in Mad Fabricators DVD, looked and sounded awesome. Lent the vid someone who never returned it, grrrr!
very cool car, Mr. Bass.

 

I know this is an old thread and maybe this information is now known or not?
The Green Grenade has Sedan Doors (the doors are longer than stock coupe doors)
By adding sedan doors you gain more legroom, this requires chopping and lengthening the sub rails and the roof sections before filling the roof. (lots of metal work)
Also, the GG wanted to run a stock height 32 grille shell. On a model A this commonly causes the hood peak line to run up hill from the cowl. To avoid this, the GG was "anti-sectioned" by adding metal along the body to bring it up to level with the top of the 32 Shell.
I only bring this up because some people don't see it, or realize the extensive amount of work and man hours that went into this build in just metal work alone.

Not to forget, that Brian Bass grafted a 32 Coupe front windshield and roof section onto his Coupe to create what some consider to be a "one-of-a-kind" custom body. Also, an extensive a laborious amount of work.
