Hot Rods Finally home and almost done, 28 Model A Roadster

Drove it home from upholstery shop today and it is finally home for the last time, I hope.

 

Well I don't like it one bit.

Good lookin car, looks like a blast to drive. I hate to ask you this, the color is pleasant for me to look at but I haven't a clue what it is. gray or green? Looks like a good choice to me whatever color it is.

Now onto bigger n better things, tell me about the car? I have not doubt missed the build thread, and I hate to see a car and detective it out.

 

Thanks ******, color is grigio scuro, Italian for medium gray. It is a Ferrari PPG color that we had mixed without the metal flake adder. It does change color depending on the light, sort of gray, or green or even brown. Ford 302, C4 auto and 9" rear end. Juice brakes. No build thread but started in 09 and just finished up today.

 

Ah, looks like a very nice roadworthy ride...................enjoy!

 

LOL grey, and some shades of blue or green all look the same to me, I can usually tell if its blue and green look different but they all could be gray just as easy.

Cross steer? What box?

 

Yes cross steer with Vega box. Takes a mile to turn around.

 

Nice! Thanks for posting.

 

Just a clean, functional hot Rod. VERY nice. I'm loving how there's not a lot of faddish **** on it. I also like the lack of chrome and WWW's. Hot Rodding 101. Thanks for posting. I'm saving the pics to keep me focused on my build.

 

^^^^^ what he said X 2! Nice job.
(Not built according to the "Roadster Cook Book".)

 

Clean! Very nice

 

Very nice, time to put some well earned miles on it...dig that color.

 

Looks great.
Cool color.

 

Cool car, great colour. My O/T car is in a slightly lighter Fiat/Ferrari colour called Fiat Grigio Jet - I think that these mid-greys really work with 30's shape cars.

 

***** NICE !

 

Looking good Woody, did you go with the foam seat bottom? Comfortable? Now we need to get to Lucky's.

 

Yes 2" foam bottom and extra kick up on front edge to help hold my long legs. Comfortable is relative. Whole car is not what you call comfortable, but it is a hot rod. I am so ready for Lucky's.

Go look at SFCC there are better pics of seats there.

 

The exhaust is run nice too, I like how you came off the collector and ducking it over the frame rail @ he firewall. Slick.

 

Did not want loud all the time. Either that or I am running a V10? Pipes are just BBQ paint until I have the ceramic coated. Ran out of money somewhere along the way.

 

Great looking roadster! I especially like the SBF power and color. Well done!

 

I agree with Malcolm, great to see something/anything other than SBC. A nice clean and simple A roadster. Very well done. Now go and put some miles on it. Congrats.

 

That is nice woodhawg! I would stop and take a good look at that at a show. Not the same old, same old. Enjoy.

 

Nice Looking Roadster
