1929 Ford Model A Hot Rod, traditional Hi-Boy style. Steel body with 5" chopped top. '32 grille, '50 Pontiac tail lights. Custom frame with 4"...
I'm thinking about running my '29 Model A in the "run what you brung" category of the Mooneyes New Year gathering drags. I've never drag raced,...
My first time to the event, and I had a blast. I would like to have been able to walk around the pits and view the race cars. That is fairly...
I'll be there Saturday, super excited about the event.
I removed old tint film by spraying it really wet with ammonia, then taping black plastic up against it to sort of seal in the ammonia. Put the...
I really like the angled quad lights. I’d re think the vertical grille, seems to overpower the lights. Maybe a grille of cabinet pull knobs or...
I registered my '28 with original TX '28 plates in Feb 2012. The plates had not ever been refinished, and had plenty of "patina" (rust) and some...
Saw your coupe at Hatfield's yesterday, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you. Loved your ride. Glad you had a good day.
Looking for header turnouts with a round flange outer diameter of 5" and four bolt holes spaced 3" apart. Anyone know of a source? I don't know...
Thanks guys, I'll work on adding caster, sounds like the best place to start. I'd like to freeway cruise without all the drama.
Russco, I noticed in photos of your (beautiful) coupe, the frame mounting point for your bones is about twice as low as mine. Perhaps that is the...
I drove it almost 50 miles back from the shop after the 3 degrees was put in. It certainly improved the wander and twitchiness, but on uneven...
I've got a 4" dropped axle with split wishbone front end, just installed a front panhard bar and it improved the bumpsteer issues considerably. I...
Going in a few minutes, looking forward to the show.
Looking to add a panhard bar to my A coupe. Currently have vega cross steer, superbell dropped axle. I thought I'd weld a bracket right to the...
The dash really does look great. It's a nice change from the standard dash configurations. Excellent choice.
Looks great. Can't beat a good tuck and roll interior. Congrats.
Mine from the 70's did the same thing, ooze then started to literally break apart. Snap on replaced the all.
I have heims also.
I've spent time looking also and havent found any. Bought a Mooneyes.
Beautiful truck, congratulations on what is clearly a well deserved honor.
+1. Flake it.
Here's my '28. [IMG] [IMG]
Southwest Wheel in Dallas used to do it, not sure if they still do, but worth looking into.
This is what I did on my '51 Chevy when the Lancers didn't line up. A bit of a pain, but not that bad.
Got my confirmed registration on Saturday. Ready to go.
Beautiful build. I can't imagine doing all that polishing, but it sure looks great. The engine looks fantastic, congratulations on such a great...
I used to go to the CanAm races with my dad and watch Jim Hall, Bruce McClaren and Denny Hulme battle it out. Prior to that we watched the sports...
I'm curious about restoring YOM license plates to like new or retaining the original (highly weathered, faded) finish? Got a set of '28 plates...
Putting my registration in the morning mail. Can't wait to go this year in the Model A.
