    So,

    I picked this up over the weekend. I wasn't really looking for another model A, but this one was just too cheap to p*** up ($500). It's a '31 with a wide bed and a steel roof. There's no motor or ******. I will be tearing into it over the next few days to ***ess what I have. I'm not sure what direction I will go with it yet, but there will be progress in the near future. Anyways, here's the pics.

    And then I had to pull all of them out for a group picture. It's starting to look like a used car lot at my house.:D

    No, actually it was about a two minute drive from my house. It was already loaded on the trailer, and it took less than an hour from the time I saw it til it was sitting in my driveway. It was a pretty slick deal.
