Hey Ron... You did some nice work on Jakes coupe/roadster... Next spring/summer I need to get out your way and do some Model A talking... If I ever get a day off...
VonKool13, Where is Hot Rod Mecca? I saw your roadster pickup in your Photo Album. It looks good. I like a Ford in a Ford and the wire wheels. You and your friends used what you had or could get instead of buying everything. My Mercruiser engined is not a Ford in a Ford but it is a 4 banger in a 4 banger and the engine is based on a 460 Ford V8 internally. The head is a Ford 460 aftermarket aluminum head. I will paint it with early Ford green engine paint so that all of the non-Ford engine parts are hidden from view. HA Ha The 470 engine when stripped of the boat parts is a simple 4 cylinder ohv engine and doesn't have much plumbing or wiring to give it away as a modern engine. It does have casting webs in the aluminum block that are an indication that it is modern but most people do not know what a Model A Ford engine looks like anyway. ****
