At the big swap meet here in Springfield a week or so ago I snagged this dash for the Model A. It was super cool and every gauge still had...
Here is the first episode of Fastest Car in the County that I spoke about earlier. We want to find the old stories about fast cars and try to...
Oh we will definitely need a push. But that will be exciting for Dad and Zoe to get to do.
To be honest though, it may run out pretty good. I mean we have the 5 speed in it and if we flip the Halibrand gears??? If we can get it...
I heard and certainly an option. I bought the new rule book so just kind of running through the different classes. I am not sure which one to...
AND so as usual if you have ever followed one of my builds, here is where it goes wacky. Scope Creep some people call it. For me however it is...
Ha ha. Very funny.
Funny.
I have always wanted to tear into a flathead as has Dad so we brought the car to my work shop where we would at least be able to walk around it...
Not long after the show I started talking to a good friend (actually the same guy that got me the flathead) about going through the motor....
A few months later, we put the Model A into the Hot Rod Holiday Show here in Springfield. Originally we were not going to put anything in as we...
So I went back to gathering parts for the Model A. At the swap meet last year I snagged this killer chrome ZF steering box. [ATTACH] It was...
Thanks. Just got a personal message from a long time follower asking how's the family. You know, I just looked and this crazy thread started in...
OKAY WE ARE BACK ON THE AIR - lol So I have some catching up to do since the "mock up - burgers and dogs" reveal party. But here is the crazy...
Well I have a little Cobra story to tell you from the best, most miserable day I have spent with car to date. Now don't get worried we didn't...
Yep now got to get this one on the road and then ready for the Coupe for real. [ATTACH]
No he has been around a while. That is one Bad Ass car. That video was sort of on my dream quest board for the Cobra. But just like him we are...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Pretty damn cool!
We also measured, cut down to fit and welded the rear cross member. More on that later. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] We did a quick sand on the front...
Well I decided today if we are going to mock this thing up for the party there are a couple of things we need to get solid right quick. Number...
I am sort of interested to know what is up with front axle in the photo with hub mounted fenders. Very East Coast Rodder there Salty...what did...
Thanks. Good try Salty. That could have earned you another few square feet of gravel right? Lol
FYI - I am on the hunt for a few parts. A stock 30-31 Firewall and maybe a trunk lid. I ordered the rear inner fender wells yesterday new, so...
It is pretty cool. That was for either left or right hand drive. That is how far off set the engine was from center to give the driver some...
I will show you boys the mock up the second I have it mocked! LOL. ....And yes I have loved that grill since the first time I saw it. That one...
In preparation for the party (outside of trying to get the garages presentable LOL) we have been working on getting the little hot rod mocked up...
We are going to have a garage party on Saturday, July 22nd. So for any of you area HAMBers heads up you are invited. Should be a fun time. No...
Yes...we saved the poor thing from having to finish its life as a stupid low slung rat rod contraption. We started its salvation right there on...
First look at the trunk lid. Inside panel is pretty rough...going to need to find one of those...needs to be louvered anyway.... right? Need a...
Body made to shop tonight. Been in storage for a while. [ATTACH] Set it on the chassis just about dark. I will get some more photos tomorrow...
