    Cool chassis, nice work as usual! You are a do-er.

    I thought an A/V8 was a '32 frame, V8 engine and an A body on top.

    Am I a smart-ass or just a dumb-ass ?

    A/V8 = A frame with a V8

    True, although the term is also commonly used to describe an A body on a '32 V8 chassis. Not sure when this definition of the term came into vogue other than a really long time ago. I'd say both are correct.

    Well for starters, sixteen inch wheels will roll over the threshold easier than fifteens. Haha

    By the way, this post rips. Building my car the way I have has gotten it this far rediculously cheap...and that's how I had to do it this time.
    Looking at this I realize I did a few things the hard way - but I learned stuff I wouldn't have otherwise so I'll take that trade. Next flathead powered A will get a Tardel K member...did he mention what range of pedals will fit easily? I'm saving a set of '39 pedals (ROUGH) but I remember Bruce L. mentioning that being a torch job with an original K member.

    Vern said that 32 pedals are getting too hard to find, and too expensive...they're working on building repos. Also, 39 pedals are getting to be expensive as well. He showed us a way to make 36 and 40 pedals work as one unit. ( a sort of combination of the 40 mounting bracket and 36 pedals. Once I find the 36 pedal assembly and 40 pedal assemble, I'll put up a little tech posts. Until then, I'll be recuperating from the 5 day marathon and waitng for my shipment of goods to arrive from Livermore,

    I don't think the networks would allow the explitaves, that we were so colorfully using to explain our affection for one another's opinions, on the air. Plus, there was way too much fun for TV going on there....

    Yea... here's an excerpt:

    "Fuck those fucking fuckers and their fucking fucked-up way of fucking over fucking ____________"

    And then... when Matt would be concentrating on griding something or cutting something out with the torch... I'd light a firecracker under his ass (literally) and then laugh my ass off as he jumped up in the air... the whole time yelling "Fucker! Why'd you fucking throw that fucking firecracker while I fuckin' had the fuckin' torch fucking going???!!!!"

    Then he'd throw one under me while I was doing something and the chain of "fucks" would start all over again...

    Great fun.

    Sam.
