Some of you guys know my Brother bought this old Model A roadster late last year. He's been pluggin away at it, making a hot rod out of it while driving and enjoying it. My buddys built an axle dropper years ago but we never had enough heat to drop em...so My brother dug it out of storage, got a couple torches and dropped an axle for the roadster. He built the entire front end and tossed it under the car last night. Car is getting converted to hydrallic brakes, too. Man, it looks so much more *****in now! Take a gander Just about as low as my coupe, gotta get the rear down a little too. Heres what it looked like when he got it. He made a jig to drop his own head light bar, too. Out with the old... And a few inches lower to earth Stops pretty good for only havin rear brakes
Are those the tires/rims from his coupe? If so thats awesome b/c I was trying to figure out if that size combo would fit under fenders.
The results look good! I am always impressed with with folks that arent afraid to try things themselves. You and your brother have some talent. What are the plans for the rear?
Hey I recognize that thing! Did that come out of Utah? If not, it's IDENTICAL twin is out this way...
There were many built just like that during the war. Trucks could get gas where cars couldn't. Looks super cool.
Looks great, Could we have more pictures of the Pick up bed set up? Thanks again. another model A nut.
They both look good. Pretty cool that the two of you have such similar cars. Please continue to post pics of each of them.
Yeah they are, he has a set of 16"s with some new firestones that will go under it when he gets the wheel cleaned up. Tires fit good.
Yup, that's the one. It was for sale in the local SLC cl***ifieds. Cool ride! Glad it went to someone that will do something cool with it.
I beg to differ Your bother is treatin' her right though. I fell in love with that car when Paul posted it for sale. Glad the extra noises weren't from the roadster.
Eh, the rear end does make a little howlin...but Corey has another A rear with Juice brakes already to go under it. The lil roadster looks pretty good on the outside, but is plain worn out on the underside The engine in it is the one out of my coupe. I ran it in my roadster last year, then sold it to Corey as the engine in this car was tired. Front end was very sloppy, too. So he just built up a nice new one. I would immagine the rear has seen better days as well At least A running gear stuff is everywere and cheap/free! Just keep pluggin along.
