Competition style model A tudors

Im looking for any pics and/or ideas of competition style model A sedans,preferable running guards.Ive purchased a nice original A tudor and its gonna be built gasser style similar to the one in the pic.Has anyone got any more pics of this one.Any idea on how much this tudor was chopped? My aim is to retain the back seat and the overal concept is for a streetable combination that will be raced occasionaly.

 

not a sedan but could be usefull.

come on... someone out there must have some pics from back in the day?

 

ive stolen many pics off the net of old hot rods, but this is the only fully fendered gasser style i could find. sorry its a chev.
anyway, here ya go.

 

Heres an early model A sedan,this would have been pretty wild in its day...

 

The chop on this looks to be around 4",anyone got any info on this one?

 

The Jack Chrisman A Tudor is one hot car that comes to mind......

 

Yeah Greg,Chrismans A tudor was a beauty,a great looking A.Its amazing what'll fit in that small engine bay with a bit of engine set back.

 

Here's one from Cincy. Owned by the Hilton family. They are on here.

 

Nice pics.Lets see more !!!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

61Cad had a competition coupe thread going, search for that and it'll have a ton of pics

 

Im getting a few ideas from these ....

 

A Vicky but still good for ideas

 

Are you looking for gassers, or altereds? Both the cars you have pictured so far are altereds.

 

Falcongeorge,im interested in anything that resembles either an early altered or gasser or even a mean trad street rod thats got some attitude.Im probably gonna run guards and the only thing that is definate is i want it to be a driver and my choice of body is a model A tudor.There's lots of possibilities i guess.Heres a pic of a A tudor nearing completion at Circle City hot rods,theres bound to be some neat ideas on this one if Jimmy White is involved in the build.Lets see what else is out there...

 

..........Vicky

 

Thanks Terry,didnt realise it was a Vicky...any other info or pics?.....

 

no fenders but still got em....

 

Captmullette,looks good.How much chop,4"?Looks like you stretched the chassis a little.

 

yea, it's a 3 in. chop i was told and i did strectch the chassis because i wanted the wheels in frt. of the radiator

 

Here's some from Winnipeg, Canada in the mid to late sixties. The Raspberry Racer was very fast. The red 32 (called Candy Apple Box) eventually got ribbon paint and a darker color in the late sixties / early seventies. The body resurfaced about 10 years ago, had the cowl sides replaced and was sold in primer for a few hundred dollars. The purple 32 was called The Grape Crate as it seemed all sedans had a name around here in those days.

Notice the Model and the purple 32 both had license plates. I remember the 32 on the street when I was young.

 

Hydro Phobia was actually a chevy, with injected Pontiac power.

BOY this site is popular... That 28? "Chevy" was a regular at Long Beach ( LION'S) in the late 60's...What with the Black paint, Orange Plexiglass; Wheelstand's; 327 /4 speed / 8,000 RPM ; it was a sight to behold, just as good as Cookie's or Bone's Willy's...You in the KNOW, know what I'm talkin" about.......Alan Maas '65 now @ Maas Chassis Engineering, So. Gate,CA.......katman1932@yahoo.com... if you might want to 'talk' about the good Ol' day's........

 

Here is mine, it is chopped 6.5"

 

Here is mine, no fenders, however; a 4" chop and mild 3" channel....

 

The "Drag N Fly" tudor cdan was built on this site a few years ago, might be of interest. Possible search, I think there are a couple videos (dragnfly v the lump is one) running at the hamb drags on youtube.
