SBC powered black Model A with red wheels.....KILLER

Sometimes the same thing is REALLY different.....

 

I like that shade of red on the wheels. Looks kind of wine color?

 

I don't really notice anything different...other than its a clean and well proportioned car.

 

Man, that IS nice!!!

 

perfect.

 

i like how the engine matches the wheels. looks good to me...

 

Love it!! Now thats a kool rod!

 

Beautiful car. The wheel tire combo, the chop, the color, everything is right on in my book. I love it!

 

That's the point Hatch is making.

It's a practically perfect execution, simple, clean, well proportioned, in every way. It's easy to say, much harder to pull off.

That is what sets it apart, and makes it unique.....

 

Yeah...I agree.

Sometimes our cars turn out like a well assembled cluster of parts, other times they don't.

 

Hope my 31 coupe grows up to be like yours! Someday!

 

That's Tim's car- and it IS AWESOME!!!!!

 

real clean tats the way we like em terry from the great white north

 

Notice how the rear tire fills the wheelwell perfectly... Mmmmm. Nice .

 

Tim apparently knows the definition of "Hot Rod".........(.I'd love some more pics.)

 

Really nice car you have there. I assume you have a 32 frame? and 7:50x16 rear tires what about the front tire sizes? Thanks Gary M

 

It's not my car....damnit.....this is.....but I'm too lazy to make it shiny black this time.

 

Man i shure wish we could see more pics.

 

Flattery gets ya everywhere!! The chassis, and grille is gennie 32, the front tires are 5.25/550 'Stones, the mill is 58 283, straight pipes, the trans 39 Ford. rear is 48 ford. Gas tank still in the cowl. The car was built around these tires and wheels. The car was a total resto that went hotrod a few years back. The interior - done in the 60's- was actually in the car before the resto, now back in with some minor mods. Pretty simple car, It's a snotty little driver that likes to run. I have more pics, but the best ones are on the Puyallup threads that were posted by Boones and Rolf. I will see if I have anymore pics. Hasn't been out much since Puyallup in July, that was the first show I had it at. I will have it at the Portland Roadster Show in a couple weeks just for fun, not for judging.
Doin' a WW2 era A bone that should be done soon, but is a slow go. Black also, '40 Dash, '36 21 stud, 16's, Thickstun, '32 chassis, steering, etc. , and hopefully my '36 chopped 5W taildragger will be on the road by this Summer.

 

Hatch, I agree, it's all in the "combination and execution", or as they say "the old becomes new again".
As a side note: those old tires of "mine" sure make your A stand out . Must be nice to know someone that never throws anything away
BTW, the temps are going to be in the 30's the next few days so there's no excuse for not having that thing DONE for lunch next Tuesday.

Really nice car.

I want it.

 

I thought that car looked familiar and the looks of puyallup in the back ground nice little ford

 

As I told Tim before, I love this car.

 

Badass hot rod. Just bitch'n. This is the kind of car that fills in the blanks about what everybody else is trying to copy.

 

Perfection doesn't happen by accident. That's a well thought out plan that came together perfectly by someone who knew what they were doing. One of my favorites on the H.A.M.B. for sure!

 

Perfect!

Doc.

 

Man, don't let Leeroy see that since he just bought my 283 for his 29 on 32 project! That is one perfectly proportioned rod - wow!

 

The only thing I'd like to change on the A is the name on the title...

 

Perfection.

Heres a few more pics.

 

Right wheels, right stance, right tire set, right colors, RIGHT ON!

As for hatch's project - right behind HOHR's.

Great projects - both of them.........I'd give my...........
