    Looks great Paul and the V-belt driven 471 and ribbed tires give it a really cool mid to late 50's look.

    Rolf, I think BOTH you and Paul should take a BOW!
    I've gotten ideas from both of you.

    of course you know the pictures are thumbnails,
    if you click on them they get bigger :)

    and if you are refering to the white coopy looking thing floating above the A
    it's a tupperware Topolino shell
    I hope to be working on it soon. :D

    should look a little like this when done...

    that is my patient freind,
    a 1935 Dodge 4 door slant back
    my first car,
    given to me at age sixteen by my father thirty two years ago,
    it was the family car when I was little.
    it went into storage for a while,
    then on my 16th birthday, Dad said I could have it if I got it running.
    that's all I did.
    got it running,
    then it was pushed aside and hauled from place to place all these years.
    maybe before I die it will see the road again... who knows?

    Channeled but not chopped. East meets west. Love the look, doesn't look like you'll have to do much work to that body. That alone will save you about a year of build time. I've never been that lucky. *******! Very cool.

    I bought that Model A rear cross member from a guy that advertised a '32 rear cross member

    he is semi retired building hot rods in his shop for steady customers

    man what a cool pile of stuff he had, for starters all his stash of motors were Oldsmobiles and Buicks with stick setups, I counted six early Olds setups and almost that many Nailheads

    none of them were for sale, and I didn't beg, but I sure drooled!

    I did pick up a few wishbones an axle and a couple cross members though..
    may have to visit him again one day :)
