Fired my Model A Today

I got my model a running today!!! I need to paint a few more parts and start driving the wheels off her. Here's some pics.

 

looking good !

 

Wheels and tires look great. I am going back to radials when I wear out this set of bias plys. The rest looks mighty fine to.

 

Some nice work going on there. That body looks beautiful.

 

nice, now go enjoy it.

 

nice job...... great look, and nice rake.

 

Nice model A, she's coming together. Saw a fantastic model A 2 door sedan similar to yours at the Bright Rod Run recently here in Australia. One of the nicest traditional Rods I've seen for a long while, love that car! Good job acefab, looking good.

I am curious of how you rebuilt your drip rails across the top of the windows and doors?
I have a 29 that I need to do that to and I am not sure of how to go about it.
Your car looks great, I only hope mine turns out half as good.
Any pics of the drip rail progress woudl be great.

 

thank god its black with red wheels just kidding looks great. the body looks perfect

 

Very nice sedan - great job!

 

Hey Djust,
Here some pics of what I did on the drip rail. I used 3/4 by 1/4 solid stock and slowly shaped it to fit the drip rail. I rounded the edge to match the body line. It took many hours of shaping, tig welding, and grinding to get there but it was worth it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Suite ! Thats a nice ride !

 

Killer job acefab!

Is that an original A frame?

 

Yeah it an genie frame. I boxed it and stepped it up in the rear to get the car low

 

Very nice.

 

I love it great work!! I know you're having sleepless nights!!

 

Nice job and nice car. I too am liking your taste in wheels.

 

Thanks for the pics looks great. I am going to have to look for some 1\4 flat stock.
