Hey guys, here’s my Model A Roadster. I run my own speed shop, but this car was built completely in my after-hours time – whenever the shop was closed and I had a few hours left. That’s why the whole thing took a little over eight years. The base is a ’29 Model A frame, reinforced and fully riveted, old-time style, no welding. Under the hood sits a ’37 Ford Pilot flathead from England. Edmunds intake, two Strombergs, and an Iskenderian Max 1 cam. The transmission is a rebuilt ’37 Ford box with original parts. Out back is a Kiwi Quick-Change from New Zealand. Brakes are converted to hydraulic: Ford/Lincoln Bendix up front, ’39 Ford in the rear. Most parts came from my own stash in the shop, the rest I gathered over the years. Every bolt, every line, every detail was done by myself – copper, fuel, and brake lines hand-made, all machine work done in my own shop. No big purchase, no finished base – just bringing a pile of parts back to life, step by step. This car is a true after-hours project. Slow, but exactly the way I wanted it. Thanks for looking.
Very nice! I wonder if you would be willing to talk about getting something like this road legal in the EU?
