Here is a 29 Cabriolet that the previous owner cut the door posts off of. Now more like a roadster with longer doors.

 

I've done 2 bodies now that are out of the norm.

Kyle666's Sport Coupe and Bill Tower's once a 4 door

Here's my 29 Sport Coupe.

 

That is not a cabriolet. It's a sport coupe. 29 cabriolets had smooth cowls like 30-31s

This was a sport coupe. Hand formed rear coupe section by previous owner.

 

Wow there's some cool cars so far..

Clark, I really like that dark red sport coupe,

The Wrong-un, Your sport coupe is real nice too, any pics of the engine?

DRuss32, your car looks awesome, any more pics?




Ok, lets keep this going...there's got to be more.

 

Here's the engine in my coupe. It's a Jay Steel/Taylor Engine built piece, with a Winfield head, Winfield SR D carb and intake, "C" crank, Brierley cam, big valves, full pressure oiling and a bunch of other stuff too.

 

Amyone ever wonder where all the old touring hotrods are?I never see one anymore.The touring car was very popular in the 1970`s and early 1980`sThey must be sitting mothballed.I would like to have one

 

This is a collection of parts and pieces including a '29 CCPU cowl, '28 CCPU doors and 6-1/2" stretched corner panels from Howell's. Flatbed is redwood. Great driver as it has a B block, original CRAGAR head, F-1 steering, T-5 transmission, hydraulic brakes.

 

Our A 400.






Original Winfield 7:1 head, 4" stroked counterbalanced crank, Winfield full race cam and valve train, 2" valves, full oil pressure, dual 81's, vintage Mallory. Car is former AACA Senior and Grand National winner. Pure hot rod!!

 

4 banger PORN!!!! That is amazing!

 

Here's the old brown Vicky. It now has a little over 112k on the paint and interior. Looking to add 8 to 10,000 miles this year.

I took this photo last summer at Shawnee State Park, near Portsmouth, Ohio. We had been to a couple events in Columbus the prior weekend and were on our way to Louisville.

I submitted this photo to Street Scene magazine for the cover photo contest, but was not selected. I like the photo anyway.

See you down the road, PHIL

 

1-1-68 Irwindale Drag Strip

June 1968, Newport Beach

 

Wow...That is a beautiful car, and a super nice 4 banger to boot...

 

Clark, do you have any more pictures of the finished shorty sedan?

 

Jman...car is not done yet. I still have to wire, fire and a few other odds and ends to do.

I like the fuel pump??what is it from?

 

And more detail about the oiling system run off the fuel pump boss please!!

 

Haha Thanks Elrod! It was so much fun to put together.

I've been meaning to hide that better . I believe it's from Napa or car quest. Basic over the counter electric pump.

Thanks for the kind words!

The oiling system is pretty nutty! My grandfather originally designed it in the 50's, but without a filter. We changed it up a little bit to add a filter. Thats actually the boss for the oil return line on the outside of a regular A block, not a B, which would have the fuel pump boss. you can see that the boss on the side plate is blocked off for pressure.



Real nutty for sure, but it works great!

 

here is my 31 sw cabriolet

 

Here's Gene Peterson's 31. Car started as a coupe - channeled 7" sectioned 6" shortened 36" & Model T windshield posts moulded to body. Car was featured in Hot Rod October 1963. Definitely an "odd" Model A.

 

A/ALTERED Model A 3 window coupe

 

Now that is cool

 

A picture of my 31 Slant window Town Sedan as I pulled it out of my barn after 25 years of storage. Only to be stolen in my Enclosed trailer 3 days later.

Still miss the car. Last driven in 1976.
Now the only Model A I have is a 31 Roadster

This thing caused a near riot when it first showed up in an Aussie rod show in the late 60's. Australia didn't get coupes prior to 1933, so any A or deuce coupes downunder up until the 70's were either imported or handbuilt bodies. A sports coupes with sedan rear roof sections were all the rage (if you could find a sports coupe that was)

This is the 'Sedoupe' in all its glory. Originally plain gold metalflake but otherwise very much the car as you see it, the landscaping was added in the 70's from memory, although the artist's name excapes me. (Dave Hart?) The story goes the vinyl roof was added during the original build to cover up the 'interesting' mix of sheetmetal that made up the steel roof.

Now this is Aussie hotrodding ingenuity at its best!

Cheers, Glen.

 

Lots of potential here. I was gonna bring this home, then the guy up and sold it. My plans were to keep it a leather back but CHOP it. That would have been alot of work, specially for me. Im a welder, Not a carpenter or a seamstress.
