    Thanks for the kind works. From the start, we kept on this project. Every day SOMETHING was done for the good of the car. Even if it was as little as making a phone call about a part. EVERY day there was progress. It also helped to surround myself with some really talented people. There's no way to know it all so I left some of the tough stuff to some friends who really know what they're doing. The result is what you see. I'm glad to see many others like what was in my head... Again, thank-you!!

    I sold off the extra parts. They went to an older fella who restores Model A's. He took the original ch***is and built a huckster wagon out of it. I sold him a couple extra engines and a transmission. He in turn rebuilt and sold them to guys needing them. I think there are a total of 4 more Model A's out there because of this project. Now THAT'S recycling!!!

    I like the stock-looking engine. Very subtle.

    Do you want to sell the fenders?

    I've always said that the ultimate "green" vehicle is an antique in good running condition.

    Very neat little hot rod. Looks like you started with a pretty clean stocker.

    Why did'nt you use the rear tires in the first pic? they looked like good retreaded snow tires to me, and seeing you are from PA, why not?

    seriously, it looks great, and the time frame that you got it done in is awesome.
