*Pics* Model A build-lookout Chopperman!!

I would but i'm saving all my sandin skills for mine in a few weeks.

 

very nice i must add

 

That ride is coming along so well.I look forward to these updates,keep em coming.

 

Nothing fancy this weekend....just wet sanding for 13 hours after some final primer. Oh and tried to see how Im gonna get my wheel to fit.

 

Dude That A Is So Sweet I Am So Damn Jealous Cant Wait To See The Next Pics

 

Hey thanks....Im really trying to pick a color and its HELL!!!!! Too many colors!!!!! Oh well I have all weekend at Pomona to think about it before I pull the trigger for the first time. AAAHHHH!!!

 

may I suggest a burgandy or maroon? It would go good with the gold, and its a classy type of color. Might give it a vintage Duesenburg feel, I dont know why I just saw the steering wheel and that was the first color I thought of.

 

Man, this is such a great, sanitary build. Love all the attantion to detail with the plating.

As far as color, I agree that a burgundy/maroon would work with the gold. I also could see a blue...

 

Well fellas Im going with blue....what kinda blue...Its a surprize!....Sorry no Mexican wresteling mask blue!! haha I considered maroon, but I never saw the car red when I imagined it. It should be the magical blue by next week sometime!!

 

I hope its not "Ice Blue"

looks bad ass,,,but you know that.

 

Nope...not Ice Blue....But i sprayed the base color today...surprizingly it came out half-way nice!!!

 

Dude, that thing is looking nice!! Good attention to detail..

Painted the car...turns out wrong blue...so Im in the process of sanding the whole car down agian!!! And I did get my cowl vent all welded in. Yeah!!! I also got my Packard wheel hubcaps...they just need some polishing.
Ill get pics soon.

 

that sucks...

Look foward to seeing the paint,,HURRRRRRRRRY!

 

Wow!!!! What excellent vision and workmanship.....Great car...Mike

 

WOW awsome build, cant w8 to see it up and runnin, well good luck to ya.

 

Thaught Id keep you guys up to date...Got my manifolds back from chroming, wet sanding down the base blue so I can shoot my correct blue over it and surprize!!! a model A with a 33 Cowl vent in it...And yes it does work.



Thats all for now...gotta get back to sanding!

 

Lets try these photos...photobucket is acting up

 

I can't wait to park next to you...

Is it a darker blue your going for?

 

i can't wait to park next y'all..

that car is sick !


but,i don't want to drive out to evels just to park...

 

Not a darker blue...The color just got mixed wrong...They tried to add blue and black toner and it cameout purple in the sun....Yes it does look dark blue there but in sunlight its a dark purple....Not at all what I wanted!! So well try again....
Its gonna be hard to park next to me cuase Im gonna be driving this bitch everywhere...

 

cool car, love the front end so far. I even like the dark purple color! back end really isn't my taste though. spring on top seems kinda pointless, especially after you had to bend the spring like that. running a banjo rear behind a caddy with a five speed also seems a bit odd. and I'd like to see what you end up doing with that drag link to get the ackerman better! My gypsy fortune teller has forseen bump steer in your future!

attention to detail is killer! use of chrome and polishing is just perfect in all areas

 

Really enjoyed the pics and updates,very good work.

 

I can see the Purple now...

ya I hope to not be parked as well...But theres going to be a point you'll
have to park it hahaha


Good luck with the paint!!

 

man, how did i miss this thread???killer work man..you should be very proud of all your hard work!!!!!!

K...body is all sanded down and ready for re-paint and I finally got my blue I wanted...Pics as follows

 

Well, it's not Mexican wrestling mask blue, but it will do.

Gonna look real nice when you're done, the hubcaps are gonna give it a 'stately' look. Can't wait to see the body on the frame, lots of good details in this build.

 

That is sure going to one fine Model "A" Coupe !

Cad-powered rods are the best!
