Projects Dreddybear's Model A Coupe thread - DARTH WALTER

YEAH! fire that pig skin! whooooooRawwww.

 

oh man thats sweet, more pics!!

 

I have to give props to Jonny Cola. He gave me the inspiration to make this oil plate filter relocator thingy. The stock filter housing was bulky and hitting the frame.

 

godddd damn man seriously impressed ive been on the hunt for a 5 window A i cant wait to get started i love the wheel choice you came up with and

by the way are you just leasing that shop or did you buy the whole building im looking for the same thing I NEED SOME ROOOM FOR MY TOYS!

ill see you at the Round-UP

ps you wouldnt happen to have that old hemi lyin around?

 

nice so far, cant wait to see the caddy running

 

oh my god...........now I have to clean the drool off the keyboard

F'n killer engine man-looks awesome!

 

I love the car...but, I don't think that the oil is gonna love those 90* corners and small tubes...


.

 

I second that...I had a 351-C Ford that blew off oil filter plates for lunch until the hydraulic engineer neighbor came over and looked at two 90's coming out of the adaptor plate... sez those 90's multiply the pressure by 10... replaced 'em with street el's and never looked back.

 

I hear ya guys. I was concerned with running too small a 90deg. fitting there because my Dad (who works for a hydraulic flow systems company) told me to nix em and go with 3/8" I.D. tubing. I milled the inside after welding. Jonny Cola is has been running the same thing on his car for a while

 

Got the tranny/starter bolted up and the whole shebang put back in. Everything clears! Yay!

I want to thank my pal Norm Jones. Without him this car would not be where it is right now. He's a good buddy

 

See ya there! The Hemi is lyin around but it belongs to someone else now

 

Holy shit it looks so cool!congrats man!!

 

I don't know my Caddy's all to well, so don't flame me for asking this...

But is that FOUR carburetors?

 

Yes sir. I can tell you're gonna love this site. Four is pretty conservative around here

 

I have to say that that piece of roof sure looks better here than it did at my place.

Well done on the build. When next I'm in Texas - I wanna drive in this car

 

Hey man looking good!!!!!! Love seeing it all coming together!!!

 

Dude..ANYTIME!!

 

Mr. DB, that thing is turning out awesome!. I love how tight the rear wheels are sucked up to the body. I also love how large the tire/wheel proportions look compared to the car (tall tire up front too?). Anyways, it looks dreamy.

 

Paul, it just keeps getting better looking with each progress shot. You just might make it for the big day. Good luck my friend.

 

SWEEEET! Looks GREAT!!!! Now go drive!!!

 

Man that looks bloody SEXY!I like that a LOT!

Nick.

 

Looks sweet,Paul.Cad looks great in there.

DB,
This is an awesome build! I've learned a lot from watching your progress. I really liked the trunk brace, as I have to build a curved brace and this was just what I needed.
It seems that Austin is the place to be. Keep up the good work!

 

i'm sure you've posted it but what size tires are you running.?

 

that looks awesome, you don't even have to paint it and its awesome... question about the 4 carbs.. is that a modern intake manifold or a vintage one.....

 

looking good

 

Man....thats lookin good! wow. I love that motor! alot alot.

 

Thank you guys! Slowly makin progress over here. Pics soon..

Thanks. It's a vintage intake, from 57-58 I think..

 

nice

 

I love a cadi powered hot rod. Pure awesomeness.
