    Firstly, where the hell is that "what'd you get done this weekend" thread when you need it - been seeing it for months, and the one weekend I actually get something done it's nowhere to be found...

    Anyway, finally got a ROLLER! After more trips to the store(s) than I care to admit, my model A is a roller! The stance came out just like I imagined, gotta say I was really worried it wouldn't.... Let me know what you think

    This is my first build, and I really couldn't have gotten it this far if not for the help of my good friend Prosise - I think he goes by jtwrangler here on the HAMB.

    Without further ado..... oh yeah, you'll have to pardon the red rear wheels, their just temporary.

    The stance looks perfect. You have a nice build coming along. Keep the updates coming. You have any details on the engine, etc. ?

    Well today I got around to cleaning up the motor, still need to :
    -replace freeze plugs
    -change water pump
    -build lake pipes
    -replace timing chain
    -get a carb spacer
    -replace plugs & wires

    Decided to keep it somewhat original color, just a few dress up items.

    Engine looks great. Looks alot better than it did in the back of the truck. Clock is ticking for the round up
