Projects Model A 3W Coupe Build (pics inside)

Very nice! Another masterpiece in the making

 

So the story continues... My pal Raphael just finished his aluminum bench seat which turned out to be something like a bomber bench. He didn't want two single bomber seats, but something different, while still being airplane inspired.

This is what he came up with

As usual he started from scratch with just his imagination leading the path

This is what happens when an airplane mechanic builds a hot rod seat

He's also about to finish the rear section of the roof with the rear window from the 4dr sedan welded in.

This is really coming on well. Good work Raphael!!

No shortage of cup holders in that car.

 

WOW! That dual seat is kick ass!

 

hahaha for sure!

 

Realy great workmanship
I love the tank and seat

 

Great craftsmanship/build - like everyone else, I love the tank and seat! Keep the pics coming!

 

Amazing talent. Cant wait to see this finished.

 

Jesus H. Christ

wow... just wow...

 

Love what your doing .....but am not so sure about the top rear corner of the doors being square and not curved like the pictures of the prototype.
just my 2 cents worth.

 

Outstanding workmanship. Not sure about grille shell.

 

simply awesome. what amazing talent

 

The workmanship is fantastic. The original, aircraft inspired parts work great, together with the rest of the car. Have to see this one finished. Pass on my compliments next time you see your pal.
Hope he's upholstering the seat, His butt will be awfully cold, and freeze to the seat in the winter.

 

X2...the grille isn't doing it for me.

And thank you for putting a visor on it...Model A's look weird without one.

 

Raphael definitely has incredible talent and exceptional attention to detail.

Your photographs are also spot on, especially the lighting and framing on the close ups.

Thanks for keeping the updates coming.

 

Amazing craftsmanship, can't wait to see the finished product, that gas tank is a work of art!

 

very cool looking car,,,people will do this too in sportcoupes......the fast way is made a roadster from a sportcoupe.....but make something like this 3window is kool too...

 

Beautiful fabrication!!!

 

i am totally digging the seat, great work!

mike

 

WOW! the fab on this thing is incredible!

 

looks beautiful in the background, oh and the car....... haha pretty sweet start to what looks like a bad ass custom 3 window, looking forward to seeing the finnish.

 

Ditto!! But, I am loving the rest of the car. Good choice with the visor too.

Can't wait to see the finished product.
As previously stated, most people make a roadster out of a sport coupe, but, to build a car like this takes real courage. Best of luck on your unique build.

 

WOW that is unreal

 

just think of what could happen if you had really nice cars to start with .
...
starting "the hate you cuz yer better than us" club

SPOSE RAPHAEL HAS A REALLY HOT FEMALE COMPANION AND HIS POOP IS WORTH SAVING FOR ITS ARTISTIC MERIT..


GOSH......... THAT WORK IS FANTASTIC YOU SHOULD BE GIVIN LESSONS ..

 

Awesome Build. That Gas Tank is Magnificent. I also love the quality pictures. Keep posting em.

 

awesome just awesome!

 

Oh boy, inspirational work. That's some seat!

 

Its great to see the work of master craftsmen. Awesome!

 

I think our builder has his vision, and my two cents may not be helpful, but they do make a fiberglass A 3 window, if he was looking for something to compare the dimensions and look to.

 

awesome!!!
