CT Barn Find 1930 Model A Build

Great find 68Camaro427. I learned yesterday how hard it is to work all the pedals at my size. I wacked my knee pretty hard on the window crank handle going for the clutch

 

I could no longer resist the urge to clean it

 

plates going on it today!

 

Wow that cleaned up nice.

 

Hard to believe you actually got such a rust free car here in connecticut. Nice.

 

Wow that looks and sounds amazing! I love the originality of it. It has such a great back story.

 

Great thread I like all the pics keep um coming

 

Nice, man, i'm sure your weekend will come out great!
have fun with it, good to see it survived!

now call Dentex and let them remove alot of those dents, then give it a nice coat of black wax, your car is looking great.

 

what did you end up doing with the headliner?

just reread the thread and saw that you removed it. the reason i asked, i think i would have to work those bigger dents out of the cab.

 

Thanks Guys

The headliner was barely hanging on so I took it off straight away. It is very tempting to grab my hammer and dolly set and go to town. Spent 2 hours at the DMV to only be given a temporary plate, now I have to get a VIN verification and go back for a real plate.

 

local garage that does emission testing can do the vin check, or a state cop [so i heard]

 

Took the A to its first cruise night last night and walked away with Best In Show. I guess people really like the originality

 

double bonus; a trophy and ******* off the "trophy hunter" guys. congrats.

 

Congrats Steve

 

Man, that is Bad ***!

We have been having a ton of fun with this car driving it all over but it might be time to let someone else have fun with it
