Guess i'll do a Thread on my build... '29 model A Roadster Hot Rod 1950ish style (I know no one ever done that) Flathead 8ba, not sure on the trans but it will be stick, going with a later model posi. slight channel, Z'ed rear. I'll be doing the frame, body & paint, motor... so pull up a chair if your interested and its BYOB! first stage dis***embly...
Ok, figure i'd give an update. I gathered up some parts & changed my mind on some things and figured out where i'm going with this. I got (so far) basicly the whole front end, rims, motor, trans... i'm waiting on WWW tires and some parts to moc the rear as well. Got Posie spring (xtra low), Superbell 4" drop, split bones w/ holes, went with disc brakes up front (i rear end too many cars as it is w/ ABS) So-Cal shocks and 7 degree mounts for the bones, Vega box, power master cyl kit, some other ****... The wheels are all 16" smoothies w/ moons 8" in the rear and 6" wide up front. the rear is out of a 79 Camaro w/ 390s going ladder bars and a (spring behind) '40 ford rear spring from Posie. Motor is going to be 8ba w/ Merc crank, trans is WC T5, '53 stock stampped bell w/ hyd. clutch. Machine work on motor will be done by H&H after i use the core for mock up. Going to make the ch***is soon and a bunch of brackets and all that ****. Keeping with the "hole theme" even though its been done to death but it fits and i like it... Body will have a 2" channel over an A frame, hooded, "A" grill cause it is an "A", no fenders. I'll be sure to post a bunch O pics for all you picture *****s out there! I'm SIKED!
Damn that's awesome! By far the coolest roadster bod there is, '29's are raaaad!!! Can't wait to see the pics!
