    joined recently and posted some questionsbefore following the rules and posintg here....oops

    anyway

    running a model A 50 era coupe.
    Dad had the cab for a while and his friend asked if he could build a hotrod wth that cab just like he did in the 50's when he was young (he's an origi**** Holland, Mi dutch clutcher)
    he had all the ch***is parts ac***mulated for the build and jsut needed a cab
    so they agreed. the builder would build the car, keep it for 10 years while we ran it whenever we liked, and after 10 years, my son would be 16 and it would be his ( 3 generations involved).
    he built it in 6 months !!
    after 6 years, the builder said we could have ***le ( we paid him for all parts, his labor was free !!)

    so here it is
    30 model A
    fab'd frame
    40 front end
    40 rear end
    40 dash
    39 ******
    49 Ford 8Ba stock

    my recent upgrades
    dropped axle ( not shown in pic)
    original 40 steering wheel ( awaiting it's arrival)

    looking for 2x2 intake
    then leave it alone and just drive it some more

    I'm surprised they (HAMB) does not charge you for advertising, as often as you plug :p

    I'll definitely try to make it out though.
     
  10. haha every other site has banned me at one point or another for advertising but the HAMB is cool thats why I suggest it to everyone I see
