Projects The Chris Casny Coupe, Model A build pics

Some pics, from an other thread, I started.
Love this car.

 

WOW again. Looks killer Chris.

 

I am beyond SPEECHLESS Chris! Your hard work and attention to detail has certainly paid off. I can't wait to see it in person, hopefully soon!! Right on bro!!

Dammmm you Chris I cannot keep my eyes off it!!!!

 

So many people try to be different for different sake and more time then not fall short. Here is an example of a car that is fairly common, powered by an engine that is fairly common, running on a chassis that is fairly common. But the fit and finish along with the restraint used all adds up to an extraordinary Hot Rod that memorable and beautiful.

Why reinvent the wheel when the wheel is so fucking cool to begin with. Tried and true formulas work and this coupe is evidence that their can be a thousand Model A's a parking lot and only a few if not just this one will shine. Originality though details and finish makes for some really fucking cool Traditional Hot Rods.

Super Duper Rad Coupe Mr. Casny!!!!

 

That justa bout sums it up for me! Love this car. Too cool.

 

s w e e t ! ! !

 

saw this thing in person the other day, Chris did a great job. Can't wait to see it fly past me on the way to Santa Maria!

 

HOLY MOLY!! HOOOOLY MOOOOOLY!!! That looks GREAT!!!!!!

 

Wow!.............. Enough said!

 

Awesome build Chris! I hope my coupe project turns out half as nice. I'm struggling with getting my coupe to fit on the deuce rails right now.

I was wondering if you could answer a question? I noticed that you cut the front of your subrails out. Did you replace them or tie them into your steering structure some how? I cut the front of my subrails out as well but I feel like the body is channeled too low on the rails now? I'm also curious to know what you did for the rear subrails- I didn't notice any pictures that showed them?

 

Nicest I've seen. Very tastefully done!

 

I cut the subrails to clear the steering "hoop". Also there are some small tabs, that I cut out, alongside the body, that channeled the it over the frame about 1.25". To bring the body up, I made 1/2" wood (treated mahogany) body mounts to get a 3/4" channel. Looks just right to me and hides the usual gap between the body and frame.

 

Mr. dreadman;
That is on Beautiful car.....God, I just love black....and that nailhead, WOW
OLY

 

I see, so you just left the end of the subrail off. Thanks for the info!

 

Ok, the coupe is running and somewhat driving (within my shop), the nailhead sounds great, but I discovered that there is water in my exhaust. Time to pull the heads and see whats up tomorrow.
Here is a little video.

That car is so bad ass. The nailhead does sound great.

 

That really sounds great Chris! Hope the water thing isn't anything big!

 

Damm it that rules... I wish I had it that easy..

 

Chris- What they all said...Well done. Sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing it in person.

 

I just read all 23 pages...why didn't I see this before. Nothing but EYE CANDY CHRIS...nice job, I can only hope to see this badass ride in person some day and hope my coupe will be half as cool

 

Awesome!! Sounds good and looks great! Can't wait to see it going down the road!

 

Wait a minute......yep, it's official. This is my favorite Model A out right now!!!!! Congrats Chris, the car is looking fucking spectacular.

 

you mean 2nd favorite right????? hahahaha Naw its my Favorite now too...

 

Evel, you know how tasty that Coupe of yours is. I still love it and can't wait to see it again at the Roundup! The two of your coupes are like lessons from different schools on how to build a fucking Rad Model A Coupe.

Now the only question is who is going to walk who? Nailhead or Caddy?

 

this car is perfect in every way, amazing job!!!

 

haha I'm just busting balls.. "the 1" rules in my book...

Oh his nailhead would take me out...no question... especially with my stoopid Hydro..

 

my hat is off to you mr. casny.

very well executed indeed.

 

This is one of the coolest coupes I've ever seen.
