A shallow bed isn't ideal, but still far better than an open mini-trucker rat-rod style one! At least with flat boards in there you have a chance...
^^^ Still a damn good photo, though! Headlight positions are interesting.
Wow, some great history there, Birdog.
Sounds like you're not going to use a top with it, so it doesn't really matter how much you chop it? I'd say 2" - 3" would look good, although it...
I remember this being a great thread, with good photos, but they're now long gone - how do we find this in the Tech Archives, hopefully with pics?...
Hi cap'n . . . finally got an answer for you on these: the original supplier over here has sold up and most or all of his stock is now with Bob...
Love what you're doing with this. I wonder if the short hood side trim looks a little odd because you still show the centre spear and front...
That's a great story, and a great car. Looking forward to seeing it in paint.
Hey, sorry, just saw your question. The guy I got mine from has sort of disappeared from the scene, and I'm not sure what the state of supply is...
Cool. I like it - just enough details to give it some individuality, some character. I maybe would do some things slightly different if I was...
I'm in love . . .
That's a great little car - love the details.
Great work, as usual. Nice to see someone else using HDD magnets for holding panels :)
I trust you're not expecting to see much racing at the Pod unless you're going to be here for a month or three yet! It's bloody freezing :)
I used a '37 front spring which I think is similar to a '40 spring, but as with Devin it was behind the axle in a custom chassis - you'll have to...
Thanks for your reply, CTAV8, I was aware of the potential oil filler tube clashing with the firewall but hadn't considered the cylinder head...
P-n-B, am I confusing matters using 'box'? We call 'em gearboxes, you call 'em transmissions, so sometimes I use 'box, sometimes trans. That said,...
Thanks, I'd be using a '34 or '35 engine and 'box too. Not sure on steering yet - I have a '56 F100, or over here early Land Rover steering boxes...
That's a neat installation, 62pan. Do the pedals end up a bit further back than the original Model A ones would have been? I'm trying to picture...
Wow! Three great fenderless Coupes in one great tech thread! CTAV8, that looks like a stock Model A torque tube, so I'm thinking the engine and...
So the motor and transmission are positioned where the A rear axle and torque tube placed them? Any pics of the front of the motor, showing fan...
Ah, right, would have churned the course up too much I guess. Looks like you had fun anyway!
That's a great looking roadster. How come you didn't run the knobblies on the beach - would have thought they would be perfect for that?
Or maybe they hadn't yet shot the interior photos and he didn't want to get any grass in there? :) Great little T, whatever the reason.
Have to agree there - Brizio came to mind. It has been well looked after, going by HEMI32's pics, just the front apron off for some maintenance,...
Cool story and a great little hot rod. It strikes me as odd that someone was installing a flathead in a fresh build as late as the '60s, but then...
If it is reasonably priced, grab it! Assuming it is a 100/4 (or 3000) then they are silly money over here. I'd like one stock or "improved" :)
Perhaps they are pre-paying your import charges, so you have nothing extra to pay on delivery? In the UK we have to pay import duty and VAT on...
Great pics of great cars - thanks for posting.
^^That looks great, as you say, not perfect but that is what is right about it. CNC polished stainless might look nice in a new street rod dash,...
