A friend's Model A project coupe ( with a HEMI )

This is a friend of mines 31 Model A coupe ... with the HEMI.

Mostly all home built ... and he is a registered HAMBer but just lurks ... ( never posted )
I think it is a neat little coupe and thought you folks would like to see it ... maybe he will go ahead and speak up and show us some more of his progress

 

An comments as to the safety of the four post lift?

 

Thanks Deuce, Maybe you or the owner could post some more pics? Tom...

 

I think its bad ass. Let see some more pics of her!

And get it off those planks!

 

The way they are jointed and built, I'll bet you could brake them if you wanted to.

 

couldn't... damn my typeing sux as bad as my spelling!

 

The post are VERY secure ...

 

They look beefy and yet spooky at the same time.

 

just kind of wondering how he's going to get it down from there.

 

Gravity

 

Big Hammer? Interesting way to get it up in the air.

 

It looks like you could just push it and have the stands tip forward. Might land a little hard but I be it would make it.

The body looks really nice! Do you have a profile pic?

 

Randy, Do i know this lurker? cool project. another surprise from a So Car hotrodder

 

That looks like a damn cool project but the "risk managment" issue makes my sphincter twitch.

 

I doubt if you know him Boones ...
He had a red 31 Model A coupe a few years ago and went a good many places with it but family, work and the like forced it's sale ... so this one is going together BETTER ... but slowly ...

He is going to shoot some more photos ...

Randy

 

What size Hemi??? More details..... looks cool.....

Would like to see a side shot for stance......

 

The stands don't scare me, they look better than a lot of the budget jackstands a lot of guys use. I just wanna see his jack (or forklift maybe?) Car looks great - let's see some more detail.

 

Id love to see more pictures of it too. How in the heck did he get it way up there and how is he going to get it down? Seriously.......

It looks like a real nice build.

 

would like to see some more pictures of the car

and a suggestion to your friend to sheet the sides of his boxes with plywood for sheer

 

Probably used one of these...This one will go about 35 in.

 

Thanks ...
I have not done a formal intro ...
But I will .
My computer skills fall way behind my Model A skills

 

Yeah and we are all IT experts in here! If you have lurked long enough you have figured out most of us have ditched the phonics books and skipped Evelyn Woods reading dynamics course. Start typing there two fingers.

Post more pics! That look very nice. Oh and dirty up the shop a little will ya? Made my wife mad when she saw this.

 

C'mon guys. If you want this guy to post more then focus on the car. There's a reason folks are skiddish and lurk for so damn long. Sure they might set themselves up for it but I'm willing to look past it to see more of this car... Get your mom to do your intro if you have to but POST MORE PIX OF THE CAR! Your're killing us.
