    Well it has been slow but it is coming along. Amybe I cand sneek it out to Jamiefest Saturday. LAst week got the exhaust ran, top back in, grill mounted, cowl band mounted (which was a *** whippin), cowl lace installed, and headlights mounted. Finally got the rite pitman arm (short vega) that i needed. Looks like if the raind hold off it will finally get a test drive. About 2 months late but heck not bad for the first full fledger. LAst night

    Rusty,
    Building a 31 for a fellow in Kiowa Kansas, full fendered unchopped, with air , 400 small block 4 speed , not quite as far along as yours, we only painted the firewall and dash before re-mounting on the frame. about 2 weeks away from firing it up for the first time. Interesting some people said you could fit a vintage air unit in a Model A. Only problem i had is it does hang down a little. What seats are you using? Nice job!

    That is a way cool looking A. I dig it. The only thing I'd do is drop the headlight bar. Nice work, as usual.

    Thanks everyone, Whitewalls may be coming out. I really thought the fenders would hide the front whitewalls more than they do

    thanks for all the comments.
