Ok guys, here's my dilemma; I have a friend wanting to give me a 30-31 Model A Tudor Sedan. Although I don't want to do another ground up build, I have had a desire to do a full fender sedan. My son has peaked interest as well and I only want to do it as a father/son project. I had a '29 that I did and owned for 21 years. This particular car is solid and nearly complete minus engine. It's a roller, sort of. If I do the car I want to keep the free or extremely cheap theme throughout. I know I have high hopes but it can be done. We have no definite plans as supplied parts will determine the course we take. but we do like 60's drag sedans. Plans are to gather parts and start thrashing and build it as quickly as possible once most of the major parts are acquired. I don't want to spend years piecing this thing together. I will be on the search for: Wheels, suspension parts, SBC speed goodies(already have engine), random brackets, engine mounts, seats, fuel tank, rear-end, brake parts, etc... If you can think of it it I'll probably need it. I'll travel to pickup parts within reason and will include your name in the history of this build if you contribute. Not that it does anything for you but I do want to give credit where credit is due. Thanks in advance for any help, advice, parts, recommendations and so on. Pictures not great as it was screenshot of a poor quality video. I'll get better ones later.
