Projects Strawshop Sedan Model A Build thread

You've got your head screwed on right Trent. I wish I could fit in anything after the husband bit!

 

Two steps forward one step back. I decided to do another W motor like I had in the T so I am selling off a bunch of small block goodies.

Going to do a 348 and keep the 5 speed.

 

My helper was a baby when this car came home. Now LilT helps me in the shop and plays the drums at 7 years old!

 

Well, I put this car on the shelf when I started playing around at Bonneville. Now, after several years and many changes in life it is time to start playing. Parts for a scratch built QC popped up and got me inspired. Time to turn a banjo into a quickie thanks to Gearheadsqce.

And that kid is taller than me by an inch and can jack homeruns. He is now driving with his learners permit

 

Back when I started this and my other cars the idea of a solid build thread was not around. Here is a post with some headlight bar work.

The open drive conversion I did. Nothing like having a hot rod kit engineered and on the shelf like a lego kit! Can not belive how much of this car was done.

I blame Salt Fever. This is what kept me from other pursuits for a long time, well, that and a divorce.

Here is the thread on John Olays sedan pictured above. I first got inspiration from a Thom Taylor sketch but this car sealed it for me. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/john-olays-29-sedan-project.426995/#post-4668797
