Features Model A roadster highboys on Model A frames

Well Seatex, I don't think I was saying anything about your post since RPU stands for ROADSTER Pickup... Which would make your submission acceptable for this thread. CTJ

 

Alright boys, let's stick to the topic; A highboy roadsters on A frames. Coupesters and channeled cars have their own thread(s).

 

Man, they all look Good!

 

well, a quick search and damn if it ain't so..................... didn't mean to hijack the thread, just my evil twin jumping in with a random neural firing.......................

 

That's better-stop kicking each other under the table, or no desert! And it's your favorite---MORE Model A roadsters on A frames!!! Highboys Rule!

 

[QUOTE="mike bowling,
nice roadster man!

 

bumping this pic. miss ya Paul

 

Rich, what can you tell me about those (aluminum?) brackets for the split bones / radius rods? VERY kewl!

 

1930. Motor,frame, and body

 

great thread!

 

I don't know anything about them other than they're a '50s part.
I went a completely different route with that car. Still looks basically the same but I started with a better A frame and now the front wishbones are tucked under the frame a little close to the centerline of the car. I'd sell the aluminum brackets if you're interested but I'd have to think for a bit about what i'd want for them.....I haven't thought about 'em in quite a while and have them stashed with some other parts....

The roadster is going back together after a heart transplant. Few more weeks I hope.

 

Woodsie,
That looks great! It's gonna be a shame to hide it under all that sheet metal.

 

What do you mean I'm driving it like that. Lol

 

Got the body back on. Few more weeks I hope.

 

Flowing exhaust looks really cool!

 

Sweet

 

I have a repop set of those, came from ebay. They need final machining to use though, love the look.

 

Here's one from 1954 . . .

 

How far was your car's wheelbase (and hood) extended?

I know it had a Jimmy in it when owned by the father and son team, and I figured the firewall was never recessed.

One of life's little mysteries.

Thanks

 

Woodsie what rear spring you running ..looks like a mono leaf

 

My now sold pre war project

 

If the body looks as good as the chassis it's going to be an awesome little A!

 

i just found this thread. had to go through all 20 pages! awesome inspiration on here, someday i will learn how to post pics on here and i will scare you w/ my project roadster called scraps.
