Was this a deal? Model A dash/cowl

My daughter is getting pretty attached to the car

 

Windshield of unknown make now mounted

 

Truck bed under construction.
Made from part of a '49 Chevy Bedsides and the hood of a '64 Falcon

 

Piece at a time.....still dont have the bed attached yet

 

Not bad for $100 worth of s****

 

As it sits now and including the 302 that I have decided to use rather than the four banger I have just under 600 bucks in it Of course still TONS to do but I want to try and get it road ready for under three grand if possible....dont care how long it takes.

Nice Build!... using what you got. Looking forward to this.
Keep up the good work.

Mine started from a cowl. I am running a 302 also.
The rest is hand made. I think my cowl is a 27?

 

Man! That looks nice!
Looks like the bed is around 20 inches or so? I went 20 on mine, just enuff for the gas tank and a battery.

Truck Box almost done

 

You've got a great start on this project. Keep posting any more progress.

My bed is 27 ".

 

Seven inches more than mine. Perhaps I shoulda went a little longer. I judged by the length of the gl*** beds the T-Kit people sell.

Interesting grill I acquired to go on The Ghost

 

Another view of the Terraplane grill. I believe it will clean up and look good on the roadster.

 

This grill has the most AWESOME ornament I think I have ever seen!
Will be cleaning the grill up this weekend and getting primer on it.

 

Grill cleaned

 

Going to get the Terraplane headlamps this weekend. They should be a good match for the grill since they came off the same car.
Also picking up a '77 302 engine saturday.

Got an old 302 to build.
Project Ghost is moving along!

 

Ditched the Model A front axle due to the kingpins being WELDED when it was under a trailer.
Using this '48 Ford Coupe front axle instead...at least it turns.

 

I am in Alabama and my garage and house were HIT by an F3 Tornado last week!
MUCHO damage to the garage but THE GHOST survived with damage.
Have hauled her off to a friends shop until my garage is rebuilt.

 

Holy cow..
Is your family Ok?

Is that the driveway concrete or the floor from the garage? I got a feeling it is what is left of the garage. How much more damage to the nice OT car next to it?

You must be a gearhead....you didn't even mention the house

 

Holy ****!!!
Stuff can be replaced. As long as you guys are ok, that's all that really matters.

 

Yeah we were ok and in the storm shelter Yeah the HOUSE received 8 storm windows blown out and one storm door blown off, a hole in the living room wall courtesy of a tree and siding destroyed.
You guessed it! That slab of concrete is all that remains of my garage The rest of it FLEW away! With a little help from the insurance company The Ghost will be back on track and the OT Car will be next on the list, it has a ruined hood and drivers fender and of course the dents in the roof and broken gl***. Had that car 22 years so can't s**** it.

Ok I have been gone because we took a DIRECT hit from an F4 Tornado during the April 27th Outbreak. The Ghost AND my Mustang were hit hard and garage totally destroyed




A few months later have just now got the building rebuilt and The Ghost put back to pre Tornado condition

Hell of a year! But we are moving on! Next is to attach the front axle as planned before the disaster

 

That wasn't a late 29 tank, it was an early 30 A Pickup/AA truck tank. The new body wasn't available for awhile after the 30s changeover in cars.

 

Have decided to mount the front axle without a spring. Every T-Bucket style roadster I have ridden in may as well not have a front spring anyway and I don't plan to drive on dirt roads. Shall see how it goes.
