Hot Rods Todays quest......recovering an old "Hotrod Model A"

i'm half a world away and even i'm waiting!!!!!!!!!!
Go man Go

 

It's like that ketchup commercial............anticipation, is making us wait

 

Good luck this sounds awsome

 

Come on Adam. I know you got pictures, I saw them on Facebook

 

I have been on more than a few of these type missions. I usually come home empty handed but I always have to go. Atleast you come home with a story.

 

Maybe he is still hacking his way out of the forest. She told him it would take cutting some trees down to get it out. "Sonny, after you cut them trees down and cut them up and stack the wood you can pull the car out".

 

SPEAKING of old Model A hot rods, I went and looked at this one the other day in SoCal. Great old build on it.

Many times I find the chase and the hunt to be more exciting than the car!

 

LOL, you guys always keep me laughing. Here it is.





It isn't a flathead V8, it's a hopped up banger. Said her husband brought it to WV from California in 1967. Much more info and history as well as pics to come soon

 

That's pretty cool..........

 

Very cool!

 

Not too bad. Patch panels are available for all the rusty bits.

 

I'm in!

 

Damn that thing is bad****. Love the sticker!

 

Now that was worth the wait...but....but....wait for it......

"Tis a pity some sneaky sod replaced the racing
flathead powered coupe with this one."

Mind you, this one looks good to me.

 

Looks like it was worth the trip.

 

This turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Glad it did not turn out to be VW with a fiberglass 40 ford nose...

 

Badass, good start

 

Yeah, I've built a bunch of Model A's so I am familiar with the sheetmetal patches available, but I will make my own for this one. It's got juice breaks, the lady says 40 Ford, non stock, but Banjo type rearend, very cool old done interior that I am going to just clean, tighten up, and use, and over all is a lot better than some Model A's I've built. Just because I never have, I plan to leave the banger in this one for now. Gonna take it all apart, clean everything up, make sure everythign is in good working order, paint it back a light powder blue, throw some 40 model steelies on it with caps and drive the***** out of it......ofcourse that is after I finish the two 54 Buicks I got going right now....lol

 

Acey Duecy....what the????? is that thing in your avatar?

 

Wow, what a pile. I'll give you $50 for it if you deliver it to New York. haha.

Great find. Puts all my finds to shame.

 

I love a happy ending....

 

cool..

 

No engine shots?

 

Good Luck

 

Good find....

 

looks like a pretty cool score , thanks for sharing the adventure ,

 

Now I just can't wait to get to work on it. Got a few other irons in the fire first, but nothing like having something waiting......

 

How about shots of what you had to go through to get it?

 

Chrome shifter knob! It's a mild custom?
