A-sedan update pics and What is this grille from?

[Jason455]

Heres a couple pictures of my progress. Patch panels all the way around. Recessed the wheel wells, firewall. Added some webs. Chopped the top 5 5/8" or three pieces of duct tape. I need to post three times. I dont know how to do multiple pics.

Heres the firewall...

What is this grille shell from? It had three metal strips running all the way down but they were in bad shape.

Nice progress. I love sedans when there done the right way. keep us posted on your progress. Nice metal work

[Dirty2]

Man that looks rite !!! I would also like to see the front !

[Terry]

Very Very sharp! You can see whats ahead and I can't wait to see it. The cobwebs are a nice touch.

[Jason455]

I dont have the windsheild frame finished yet but this should give you an idea. I have no idea why these are black and white? When I resize them with IrfanVeiw they turn out this way.

looks good .

Nice chop, need to see more of the car when it's a roller.

The grill shell looks similar to a '26 Franklin.

I think i'm gonna use that chop as a guide for my 29.

VERY NICE WORK!

Good job. I'm getting ready to start on a similar project.

I'd guess the grille shell to be from a larger 1 to 1-1/2 ton older 20"s to 30's truck. It doesn't look like any tractor shell I've ever seen. Great looking sedan!

[HOTRODPRIMER]

Nice work!,,,,,,,,,,,my guess on the grill shell ,,,,kinda looks like a late 20's Chandler,,,,,built in Cleveland Ohio and in 29 bought out buy Hupmobile.HRP

JohnyB, I am building the frame from 2x3. So I plan on channeling the body 3" So the frame can not be seen. I am using a 41 ford front suspension. I plan on suicideing the spring mounts. I want to use the front model-a frame horns, so I probly will have to pie cut the frame at the firewall to get it low enough. Im getting close to start on that part next http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice work. Tell us about your metalworking background. I was going to guess a tractor shell because there is a round hole at the top-front of the shell. I've seen tractors with a similar hole. It was for a connection to the steering gear. Old tractors were able to be converted into all sorts of oddball configurations. I've seen a vegtible picker setup were the driver sat low in front. This is a wild guess I can't think of any specific models.

Rand Man,
I basically taught myself how to work on cars. I never had money so it was learn or walk. I dont have a ton of metal working experience. I just am not afraid to try something new. I built a 1930 A coupe in 1991-92 and it has went on since then. About the grille. I dont think it is from a tractor because it was chromed originally. Jason
