I'm all about early stuff. My first gow inspired build. 26 Coupe, shortened A chassis, dual up draft, Thomas head. [IMG] My new project just...
Will do. Thanks for the kind words. Just taking the steps to get the car and start planning has helped my focus more than anything over the past...
Thank you! I like v8 cars but a good banger set up is my fave. We'll see about the grill. It doesn't sit flush against the radiator causing a...
[IMG] Although cold and rainy today I decided to try a nice AA shell i was going to use on my T and mock it up without hood sides. A bit...
Thanks. That guy did a great job on the roadster! Mine won't look quite as nice. I could do it but that's not the feel I'm going for. For sure!...
For sure! It's a good mocked up car right now but needs a few changes and some "Pizazz" Haha Thanks for the paint thread. I've done plenty of...
Great looking banger. Love the color. Thanks and sorry to hear about your health. The driving decision between my wife and I was to get this...
Thanks. It's a good start for sure. The body was parked in the 60's for a restoration that was never finished. It has a few holes in the wheel...
After the tough decision to get rid of my T Coupe and a bit of thinking I decided to join the Model A club so I could build something a bit more...
Thanks so much. I'm glad you dug it! I have a few ideas for it. Spent today getting to know it a bit while I wait for it to start talking to me....
Lol. Right? 17's although a bigger rear tire will be in its future. Sent from my SM-G955U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
For sure! Once I start making some progress. Sent from my SM-G955U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Off she goes to her new home. I'm going to miss her... But I did make a good deal on a 31 coupe with a fresh B motor and juice brakes. Time to get...
Up for sale is a very nice early version Trojan manifold I've had for a couple years with two repop Zenith carbs purchased from Snyder's in 2016....
Good looking car! Glad you kept the fenders too. We'll see what happens. I've been weighing out options this week and how much it would cost to...
Thanks for digging the build. I have a lot of pride in it and must say that is very high praise. I'm glad people have seen the car the way I...
Hey guys. Long time no talk and thanks for the kind words! The car has been idle for a bit as life got in the way last year, as well as getting...
Lol. You're welcome. You "old farts" are precisely where my respect for tradition came from. They have always been my best customers over the...
No problem, man. Believe me. I was squeamish about the wheelbase but, the more I measured the more it made sense. The RPU is a good idea and...
Thank you and get cracking. We need more early builds. Lol. Thanks, Rocky. I'm sure it will be more fun once I get it sorted out. And how, on...
Although I am an advocate of shortening the chassis in the end always build it how you want it. I will say you may find some proportion issues...
Wow, it's hard to believe it's been two years almost to the day I started this thread. In honor I thought I would polish her up and take some...
Cool. I'll work on the post. Gotta fire up my laptop. It's too much for my phone. I'll cover everything I can think of that I encountered...
Do you plan on running a hood? Sorry for one question at a time. I'm prepping for a long post that may help with some direction while saving some...
Did I miss it or are you still up in the air on motor choice?
My latest is a 26 coupe on an A chassis. The principles are the same with exception of pinching the frame to match the turtle deck. The clutch...
21" Model A wheels with staggered Firestone's on my 26 T. [IMG]
Damn, a favorite build. Thank you. I will get a video this week after I fix a vacuum leak on one of the carbs. It idles like crap right now......
Thanks so much!
Lol, very true.
