Extremely good body, Dual ‘81’s, Police Head, ‘36 trans, lightened flywheel. Fenders removed, Louvered trunk. This keeps me on the road while the Roof OHV, hydraulics (brakes that is) updated shocks, dropped axle are being done on a separate ch***is. More as it progresses!

    Just a question here. Won't the torque of the engine eventually maybe crack the fuel lines going to a stationary firewall? I see rubber hoses on the fuel block and thought maybe that's the solution, but don't see any hose clamps. Just curious that's all.

    He's not finished with it. If you look close, you'll see the spark plugs aren't hooked up yet either.

    Also, aren't all Model A engines bolted directly to the frame? It really shouldn't move much in relation to the firewall.
