Projects My Nephews first car is a Model A! I'm so proud!

Man, what I would have given for an uncle like you Tim! Maybe we should start a thread on disasterous first cars!! Mine would qualify!! I've been able to pretty much keep my kid (20 years), away from this rice consuming junk!!

 

Love it, took me 'till I was 67 to get one!

 

Very neat! Congratulations to him.

Made me happy to see.

 

i know this is a old thread but im wanting to know if he still has it and if so what all has he done to it..i too wish i had a uncle like you...lol if so id started with my cars alot sooner.and stayed out of trouble. well maybe not.

 

He is still working on it a little at a time, he has the body off the frame and several "sub-***emblies" done and ready for install. he's doing great work and has not lost his drive. When I got my '30 Tudor last year I told him he could have whatever he needed of the donor car as long as I didn't need it for my build. He got a few things.

I had a good time meeting your dad when he was over here, he's always welcome and you are too!.

 

....that smile, that initial ride with pride,.....he's hooked...

 

totally enjoyed the video....brings back memories with my son.....great uncle you are.

 

Man--that is soooo cool.. Way to go!

 

thanks for posting . i dont know who was the happiest ,you or him .

 

Wow! Did this bring back memories! My first official car was a 1929 Model A roadster that had sat in a field from 1941-1991. My dad and I rebuilt the engine (bearings by Ken Petrick of Tucson) and I have a VHS tape of the first day it was running and of me driving it back in forth in the side yard near our house. I learned more in that 100' space about letting a clutch out!

 

great video good seeing younger people gettin into vintage cars

 

He has been working on it as best he can, here are a couple of pix of the ch***is. Still trying to get one more 21" wheel for him.

 

Thanks Dave for the offer of the wheel!
