Well had a blast at BTTF's this year, hangin out with a bunch of cool friends adn cool cars was great. I eneded up buying a 28-9 A coupe before it even made it out to the Swap at BTTF, so i have another project to work on, i ended up having that monday off after the swap so i figured i might as well start work on the thing, so i got out the masking tape and layed out a 4" band around all the roof pillars, hehe it needed a shave anyways. so about 2 hours later i have a 4' chopped A coupe sittin in my driveway, then i decided it was time to try my hand at the "bleed Sweep", worked out perfect, then i gathered up enough stuff to put a front end together, so now it has a chop, a swept frame and a front suspension, that was just on monday, do tuesday i got home after work and z'd the frome about 10" in the rear, now i have to build the subrails around that, then well see whats next, here are some pics. So as you know i have a few projects going on, to many! So sunday i decieded to put my 34 ford tudor up for sale ate BTTF, what would you know, i sold it within 3 hours of having it for sale, must been to cheap or jsut right, well anyways it ended up going away, i heard somewhere im ILL. so you may see it around. Well now i have some toy money laying around so i thought i buy something else, or who knows, buy some parts for all the other projects, so far i havnt brought anything new home,....yet! Oh yeah, about 2 weeks ago i bought a 28 A phaeton too, its really cool, i got it running last night, runs real good too!! But the real sad thing to come find out is that the guy i bought it from died thursday night, he was a great guy, he restored model A's for many years, he had a tumor on his one lung in the past, and had gottin it on his other lung, we didnt know he was as sick as he was, till now, hell be missed, hell of a guy. well here are some pics, stay tuned for more soon! JEFF
Jeff, you change cars more than than most guys here change thier socks! It's all cool stuff though. Looks like the model A's are in much better condition thatn the stuff you're used to working on. Maybe you'll actually finish one of them? Sorry to hear about your friend. Keep us posted on the projects. C.F.
Great you have fun buying **** and building stuff and i'm here cleaning up after last fridays storm but been driving the wagon still.I love you to.(*****)
Looks cool Jeff, although I think I have you beat on the too many projects thing. Sell one , gain two. thats funny. Keep posting progress on the coupe as you go along and let me know when your running to Porky's. Later.
yeah we stopped by ***us's house yesterday (since we blew our waterpump haha) and he had that Flat four in the 28 A running... that thing rules. I dig the coupe too. Nice scores! Tuck
So the '34 is gone?!?!?! Damn, I hate that. Was hoping we might be able to work a trade someday. My RPU for that sedan. JH
sorry dude, didnt know you were that interested in it i may be buying another to build, hehe, another project!! JEFF
sweet. that phaeton is fricken cool! W/ the Model A Coupe and now the Phaeton...you will have a nice pair of rides.. Gee wont it be hard to pick one to drive....coupe or phaeton tonight?
the funny thing is that i also have my 34 p/u and my 32 coupe, im almost to the point of having one car for every day of the week!!
Hey Jeff, don't you need a sedan how about a blown HEMI It's too fricken cool up there for a pheaton, plus I need a soccer car . Looks like some nice rides congratulations!!! I really dig the Pheaton Sorry to hear about your Model A guy, did he ever get a chance to drive the tub?
John, he had the tub for 20 years or so, i dont think he ever as much as touched it in all that time! Oh yeah, i may have a lead on another pheaton for you too, stay tuned! and i may be going to look at a stock 30-31 roadster today!
Hey I still know where theres a 30 31 sedan,and that 28 29 coupe is still up by my cabin,just seen it this weekend,I think the dude told me 2800.bottom dollar,its about as good or better than your friends coupe in the leantoo,still has all the black paint on it and the decklid...let me know when you wanna go git it..
