I drug home an old 50's survivor A sedan hot rod

Tough crowd, hahaha! It needs tires regardless, and I think big and little's would look good on it.

 

I say those boys back in 1960 probably wanted a drop axle and some big and little white walls and if they weren't paying for college they would have done it. DO IT. It's nothing that can't be reversed.

 

Man you find cool chit! I like the big n littles idea personally. How are you going to drive everything to the East West Flathead run? Great project man.

 

Gee Whizz, never gets old huh? +1 for big and little's and and a height adjustment. Nothing a wrench can't change back. Nice score!

 

Well, I only got one runner out of the 4 as of now...

 

Cool sedan

 

One of these days I hope to find something that cool, and have the cash in hand to take it home with me!

 

Great looking car,love the stance. Could only hope to find something that cool.

 

He also likes to sell them to us wet-siders in hopes it will bring up the level of compe***ion...

 

Wow ! Chris nice score ! That would be a keeper in my book( that's just me thinking out loud !) Congrats buddy !

 

You need to play the Lottery Chris....Damn! It screams for big and littles.......cool ride in the making right there.........

 

Thats super cool. I dig that style, it would fit in in the 40's 50's or 60's. The epitome of a cl***ic hot rod in my eyes.

 

Hell, I'd would have bought it just for the Cal Custom "beanies"!!!!!

There were 5 model A's like this out there for every one that looked like Roth's "Little Jewel" It is a real look at what most considered "hot rods" back then!

Finding **** like this IS my lottery.

 

X2, and a full set of beanies. It would look like that orange one with the 283 that was it Hot Rod in 1962. Some time back, someone was talking about re-popping the proper pointy beanies. Did anything ever happen with that?

 

I hope not, then every joker who wants to be cool will have a set!

 

I'm a closet Marxist. BEANIES FOR THE M***ES!! FREE THE PROLETARIAT FROM THE OPPRESSION OF RED SMOOTHIES!

 

Nice looking sedan.

 

Good God man, that's happenin'-and-a-half.

 

Cool find Chris, I love it !

 

I guess you wouldn't want a wingman to tag along sometime? I mean just to take care of your cast offs or something! Sweet find wash it wire it drive it is my vote!

 

Great Find! Good luck with it!!

 

Super Cool! Love the color as well!!!

 

verrrry cooool congrats

 

Lucky lucky man!! Looks so cool! Congrats!!

 

I guess I'd drive it if I had too

 

I would stick with your plan on it. like JJ said, it can always be reversed.

 

if you had seen any of the builds that Chris has posted here, you would not have worries; it's in the right hands. to say i'm a fan of his work is an understatement; Chris has a great eye for stance, proportion and period correctness that few here can match. Good on you Chris for the find. I know you will do it right. subscribed

 

Looks just like my first rod, built in 57. drove it to High school stock, then tore it down and s****ed up the needed parts, was strictly old school got the tips from the 'OLD' rodders. I used the stock A radiator, cooled the 265 sbc just fine.
[sbchevys were rare bak then.] stock 32 cross member,steering, wishbone,axle etc. had 48 ford brakes,and rear end [10 bucks to shorten it]. and had 2 model A mufflers.[sounded like an A at the stoplites.] Nobdy beat me in a city block
