Model A progress # 5- IT RUNS!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris, May 6, 2009.

  1. Here is the last updte if you missed it:

    It's getting close. I wired the dash and ignition, hooked up the coil, mounted and hooked up the gas tank, got a battery and she fired up. I knew it would run great, this is the old engine out of my coupe. But to hear it run in the roadster made me smile. Thats a major setp in completion of the car. All I have left to do is hook up the lights, mount the seat, finish the windshield stantions and get glass, mount the headlights and secure the panel below the deck lid as well as the inner floor in the trunk. Oh yeah, gotta make one decent deck lid out of 3 crummy ones. Should be another 2-3 weeks and it'll be road worthy!!

  17. Man, that is one neat little car. Now all you need is a Jughead hat and a squirrel tail.
