Model A Pics: Final Mock-up

[Berdoo John]

Hmmm...too small for me.

[Berdoo John]

Much better size, but too much rust...

[Berdoo John]

YES. This will work nicely.

[Berdoo John]

Thanks. I am VERY pleased with the way this is coming out. And with all the discussion about "buy it, build it, or pay to have it built", this is being built for my dad and I to share by Killer (Johnson's Garage) in Hesperia, so obviously you now know how I feel about paying someone to build something I don't have the skill or time to do. I'm surprised my tired old Ranger hasn't died with all my trips back and forth over the Cajon pass delivering parts and opinions and helping with what little I can help with. Should be about a month before it's on the road. Then after the bugs are worked out...mild chop, bodywork, paint and upholstery. Enjoy!

Rusty sedan body needs: sandblasting, 1 wheelwell panel, lower door skins, roof panels above doors, subfloor and crossbraces, and some misc. small patches here and there. The garnish moldings need help too.

Neat ride, love the underconstruction post's. Buy? Sell? Trade? As long as the old tin is SAVED...... and this A-bone has a new lease on life.

Very nice! Are you gonna run fender-mount spare tires? Don't see that too often.

[enjenjo]

That's California rusty, not Midwest rusty. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Here in Ohio, if no more than the bottom 12" is gone, then it's a keeper.

very nice, where abouts are you in San Berdoo?

[Berdoo John]

Sidemount spares: I have seen several '30s Ford shop trucks in my little books with a sidemount and it looks cool to me. But when we actually had it mocked up and stuffed a 6.00x16 in the well...ehhhh, just wasn't working for me. I tried to find some w/o wells to swap for but I think these will get filled. My dad even got to the point where he said "the sidemount spares don't look very hot roddy, I guess if we go long distance we'll just toss one in the back if there's room." When it's all back together I'm gonna try 1 again and see if I changed my mind, because I don't remember sticking a tire in the well after we switched to the sedan body, but it won't be duals for sure.

Courtney....IT WILL! IT WILL! IT WILL!!!! Jesus buddy...don't have a stroke!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I ain't scared and I'm only a little bit gay... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

"That there is an R.V. Clark." Next time I stay until I'm too tired to drive home I can sleep in the Disco Machine.

As for my whereabouts...north of the 30 freeway between Waterman and E St.

Any Photoshoppers wanna do a mild chop on the side view pic?
TIA...
