Newbie with a model a to build!

I do plan on going with a different wheel. I hope you can tolerate these wheels temporarily as all of my $$$ are going towards engine and transmission. Unless you know someone interested in trading.

 

Welcome to the hamb and good luck on your project. Lots of info and ideas to determine how you build.

 

Welcome from Central VA, BTW, Cool build, the stuff you need should be here?
Good Luck,

 

I made these motor mounts, but not sold on them yet. I think they might look better with the arch down.

 

Frame sandblasted, body mounts welded in, and I'm almost finished boxing the frame.
I am looking for the best option for steering box. Until I figure that out, I won't box front of frame.

 

Taking apart the coupe. Getting anxious to mock up new frame.

 

This is how the frame was z'd over 50 years ago. It has hes held up well as rough as it looks.

 

Old skool Z'd frame lasted 50 years.

 

Main question is, are you going to chop it?

 

Get rid of those horrible wheels and put back the set in your first photo. Looks like a great car, but those wheels look like ***.

 

I explained the wheels in earlier post. What wheels are you running?

 

It has a 3" chop.

 

Welcome. Great project. You need to start a real build thread at the Hokey *** Message Board, if you allready have just ignore this...

 

Thanks ESGEE. I haven't started a real thread, but I will.

 

Welcome from your new best friend- I want your car! That is a beauty.I'm addicted to model "A"s and that one is an "as is" find and a half.Glad it's still in the family.Can't believe all the wheel feedback. Run STEEL RIMS, then you can do a million things to change the look and they are reasonable to buy.(I get them at the junk yard for 10 bucks each). Good luck with it. Mike
