This has been mentioned numerous times. Unfortunately, obscure items like this can easily be identified with any cell phone and all punk kids and...
Here's my '30 A Coupe with a black 59AB block and Canadian aluminum heads. They're shaped like stock heads and they are silver but not painted....
Some history. These plates were all the rage back when we started using the T5 trannies from Chevy S10 pickups and can still be an economical way...
Great! You have the press on adapter. That will take the place of the old ford bearing retainer which you will not need. That press on adapter...
That adapter is meant to be used with a "Hog's head" adapter found on 4 speed Ford truck trannys. Here's link to one that sold here on HAMB to...
Hey Joe! Thanks for the kind words! This thread hasn't popped up in a few years. Glad someone is still finding it useful. Looking forward to...
OP is flipping it in the classified. Pics would help https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1932-five-w-coupe.1328753/
My last build. "Plain Jane" is her name. Would love to build one more but like the old proverb says: The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak....
The original Model A seat frame is a choice that's tough to beat for both comfort and looks. Plus you won't be ashamed to post a pic of it here...
Enjoying your thread! It's interesting to see what these rods are selling for and how they are equipped. Keep it up.
You can remove the main shaft assembly without removing that gear. Much easier to remove and press back on. Some vids: Disassembly: [MEDIA]...
Welcome back Mike. Your book with Vern Tardel helped me build a nice traditional flathead coupe. The stainless headers were inspired by "Old...
It's has been covered. Takes time and patience. Here are a couple of links:...
It will fit. Just needs some minor firewall work. I just recessed this 8-BA only where it interfered with the firewall. Most people that aren’t...
Ha ha! Yeah...no problem. Coupe's looking good.
Here's a 32 firewall in a model A [ATTACH]
No I never considered a flat 32 firewall. You would have to do some fab work to make it fit the model A cowl as it's not welded in on a 32. It...
Thanks. They're slightly kicked up like 32 rails do. That little rise gives a couple inches more drop in front. Model A cowls have little feet...
Here's some floor pics that may be of some help. I like to make my floors removable. The master cylinder and battery are under there. [ATTACH]...
Here's how it was done. Unfortunately a few guys just posts to change your mind. You've got a good eye. The difference is subtle but powerful. I...
Here's a few pics for you. It's not that unusual. Generally speaking if you see a Model A on 32 rails with a stock hood, the wheelbase is stock,...
I'm the guy that built that grey coupe and yes it has a 103.5 wheelbase. I did print full size rails but modified them to fit my needs. [ATTACH]...
Originals look like the pic below. The square head fits against a ridge on the spindle to keep it from turning. Plus the shoulder makes it a tight...
All you need is a blade with 8 holes like the one below. They are for sale on fleebay all the time. You would be nuts to go electric. That's all...
I would guestamate approx .062 .They were about the same as the j-bends I used to build the exhaust and they were .0625
Better pic grabbed from HAMB. Shows both driveshaft and torque tube. [ATTACH]
This side pipe is fabbed from a 35-36 driveshaft not a torque tube. That particular shaft was tapered on both ends. You would carefully remove the...
The release is the part that's facing the driver. You just pull in the handle with your fingers to set the brake and squeeze to release....
Model A coupes are pretty small so I mounted a 48 to 52 F1 e-brake handle up under the dash. It works really well and doesn't need a bell crank on...
