New Model A project

looking good brother.....hope to see it in person one of these days...

 

Thanks guys! The floor will be done tomorrow...along with new patches in the rear fender wells...once these are done, the body's coming off, and I'm painting the frame, running brake lines and fuel lines, and painting the underside of the body. Then the body gets some ginder work, and paint it flat balck and put it back on the frame. Then it's put it together, wire it, make an exhaust, and go for a spin!

 

Looking good, and makin great time on the build. Very cool looking ride.

 

Steve, your work looks killer. 2mos WTF?? It's to awesome & it will be a pleasure. Carl Hagan

 

Thanks for all of the props guys...there's been mucho progress...I'll be posting some more pics tonight...

 

Could you possibly post some more detailed pictures of the frame and the buildup of the frame, nice car!!!

 

Here it is fellas! DONE! I took three shots of it before it went away...these were taken after we lowered it off of the jack stands...sorry about the blurry pic of me standing next to it...I'm just posting that one so you can get an idea of the stance and height...I'm 5'11" by the way...the highest point of the roof was where I was leaning on it...and that was 47 inches to the ground...I had a bunch of help on this from freinds and other Hambers too...I want to especially thank Wingnuts, Stratocaster, Louver Dude, Scallop 53, and Beebz from the Hamb, and Dino, Ernie, Fish, Scott, Jason, Donnie, Rick, Jeff, Denise, and Mike who will soon be brought over to the dark side...

I'll be postin more pics of it, as soon as Ernie gives me the ones that he took of it...and there should be some sort of You-tube going up about me and the scandoulous rendezvous with the cops on the car's test run...I'm gonna post all of these pics up on another thread now that it's done too...because I've had this thread going for some time, I don't think many Hambers are noticing the time frame we did this car in....Let me know what you think guys!

 

Wow! hell of a job.

nice build

 

good so far , whats next???????????

 

Hella sweet, Jake!

Can't wait to see "Project Ape 1320" ... tee hee. I'll have the YouTubery posted this week

 

Right on Mike... yep, the grey thing is safely tucked into my garage...Thanks for the thumbs ups fellas...the car is now in Kansas City, Kansas...proud new owner Carl Hagan Jr. is at the helm of her now....so now the work will begin on Project Ape 1320....

 

I wish my ex-girlfriends or even ex-wifes dad had anything as good as that to look at let alone buy from them .................looks great nice one

 

Thanks for giving me a hand on this Mark...I owe you big time. Let me know what I can do to help out on the roadster...we gotta get you on the road!

 

What steering box are you using?

 

Looking awesome CadillacKid!

Hope my A project turns out half as nice as your's is looking.

Here's a couple shots of my frame. I agree with you that it's really better to start over, than to try to piece something 75 year old junker back together. My frame is 2x4 .188 wall tube (a shade over 3/16") and is solid a s a rock, so yours will be plenty stout.

Great job, keep us posted.

 

damn! i love that car! someday, im gonna have a tudor, and yours has the look that i want. that is just so kick ass. evil lookin motherfucker, too!

 

Thanks guys! I'm really happy the way this one turned out....oh yeah, and it's a '40 Ford steering box and column, we shortened the column about 8 inches...

 

any more pics of the front end/ steering linkage? is that a con rod you are using up there?

 

The work looks ok I guess....I don't understand why there is such a hurry. Sounds like an episode of American Hot Rod...deadlines...pressure...mistery...WTF?

 

This was going to be a liesurely built Hot Rod... However something came up that required immediate attention and this car was used to seal the deal.

The incentive was a "Very big Carrot" at the end of a stick...! So We joined forces to accomplish the single goal to make the car deal turn out to be a "Win Win" for everybody.

As far as what was at stake... I'll let Cadillackid and Carl H. tell you about it!

"Project Ape 1320" was worth all the effort put forth by everyone involved on this sedan build!

 

Hey Wingnutz..... We need the funk Gotta have the funk -Strat.

 

You guys are nuts!

 

Alright Aman, here ya go....

I traded this car to Carl Hagen Jr. for a steel bodied '41 Willys coupe. Project Ape 1320 is revealed! I haven't really said anything on here about the Willys yet...I was gonna save that for another post...a "look what followed me home this weekend" sort of post. The Willys is gonna involve a whole mess of work...but that never scared me off before....so right now, I guess I need to find me a 392 Hemi...Anybody? Anyone? I'm gonna try to duplicate the grey primered Willys coupe from the movie "Hot Rod"...The car in the movie was 426 powered...but I don't feel like spending $20,000 on a motor just because the price of Hemi Cudas went through the roof...

 

how bout a link to the youtube post?

 

I'd love to link it here, but I don't think Zenor has posted it up yet...I'll check...

 

Wow CadillacKid, didn't mean to flip the latch on the barn door that let the cat out of the bag. Now eye see said the blind man. I can completely see where you were coming from now...great deal. The Willy's are the ultimate hot rod, right behind the Model A, of course. Keep use posted please and focus that damn camera ...or did I spill my root beer again. Oh well, good luck my friend.

 

Sweet! Thanks for puttin it up Mark! And a special thanks to Senor Zenor for Youtubing it fer me....

Oh, and no prob Aman...it was bound to come out sooner or later...
