Yep that’s me! Thanks! Yeah it caught my eye right away, I was immediately drawn to the patina and door paint. Seems to fit this project...
[ATTACH] Trying to think of a good name for my Model A jalopy. A friend suggested “Shitty Shitty Bang Bang”, which I thought was pretty fitting!...
Yep, Matt of Gear Drive, great guy indeed!
New parts seem to follow me home. Just picked up these super cool teardrop air cleaners from a local guy with an awesome fab shop. Super unique...
Exactly! Haha most definitely, I’ve already made some great acquaintances online and hope to make more. Thanks! Gonna paint my cylinder head red...
Check it out! My new (to me) original Zepher intake and original rebuilt Stromberg 81’s arrived today in the mail! Can’t wait to slap these bad...
Haha there’s no turning back! Thank you!
Approaching the 4th and a camping trip for me so I haven’t had as much time to work on the jalopy, but I made a little progress. Checked one of...
Bump
Thanks man! Yeah it has the perfect patina and look for this build, glad I was able to find it.
Thanks! Yeah this is all being done in my apartment garage and parking lot haha. Getting it all done here will definitely be an accomplishment, if...
Thanks!
Thank you! I sure am!
[ATTACH] Finally got my ‘31 custom body mocked up on the frame, and man does it look good! Also test-fit the pickup bed; it will need some...
Sweet, that sounds like a great setup!
A single 81 sounds like a good choice. I just got a dual original Zephyr intake, so I’m gonna run 2 carbs. A guy is selling these two original...
Red is a great color for bangers for sure. Mine has original paint, not sure if I wanna repaint it or not. I definitely wanna repaint my Brumfield...
Good to hear. I’m looking at a pair of 81s right now. That’s also good to hear. I’m definitely considering either the 6 or 12 volt FS ignition for...
Gotcha, yeah I remember you mentioned the converted generator. I may look for a Model B distributor because automatic advance would be nice.
Looks great. Do you have an aftermarket coil on there?
Right haha. Sounds good, looking forward to it!
Ah got it, thanks for clarifying.
[ATTACH] Finally got the chassis home late last night, and picked up a new fuel tank and Brumfield head, which I believe it 6.5:1. I’ll post...
Oh ok, I see, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I definitely like the idea of automatic advance, so that’s the draw of an aftermarket or...
Hey Jim, I was the guy that posted about 4 banger exhaust setups. Can’t wait to see more videos of the Sacramento coupe!
Interesting, I wasn’t aware you could convert a stock distributor. I have been considering a different distributor that has automatic/centrifugal...
Thanks for the info. That makes sense, I may go the FSI route, would make sense I suppose if I’m doing other performance parts.
On the road home to Minnesota from Missouri with my ‘28 chassis! Also picking up some parts in Wisconsin on the way. Didn’t realize this at first...
Is anyone taking videos of the Speedster event in Lincoln? Would love to see some.
Kevin Pharis thanks for the pictures! This is giving me inspiration for my Model A banger hot rod [ATTACH]
