    I hope so, last year was fun, but not HRAR fun if you know what I mean. I'm sure this year will be a blast. I'll be hanging my head at a WEDDING (not mine at least :D)

    Chris, PM me your email address. I'll include you in my updates. You're not the only one building a Model A roadster, though I'm not just bolting mine together. Doug

    Wish I had a model A for a beater. My beater is a stupid Jap econobox that my wife won't let me sell to fund a beater because it's practical... :(

    Very jealous.

    Yep.

    I've got a 30-31 roadster that's a pile of parts. The only thing is that I have no money to spend on a project right now. I'd have to find some 'free' doors, brake parts and some do-dads here and there to catch up with you...

    ...It would be a kick to see who gets done first though.

    Welp, I'm hoping to have mine on the road by May...maybe, maybe not. No big rush, I just don't see why I couldn't :D

    I got a head start on you, get out in the garage and get goin ;)

    For what it's worth, the black 30/31 you did was such an insperation to me thats one reason this car is going "pre war". One of my favorite parts was the safty wired rear bell bolts. Thats art all in itself.

    That car, Amocat car and Zach Suhr's work is what I thrive on.

    Well,
    Not much progress going on. I have had the flu all week, so I just didn't do much of anything. Today I pushed my 39 coupe out of the garage to go into storage and moved the 33 into it's spot so I can have more room to work. I am officially paying to store cars, so I guess I am officially that crazy guy with too much junk!
    Thats about it for this update. It took me half the day to do just that, I have zero energy. I should probably just be in bed, but it's the weekend...MY weekend damn it :D
    Look for update #2 real soon (I hope ;))

    Are you not going to use the 32 frame under the 28/29? speaking of which, I will get those pedals in the mail this week. I've had them way to long.
