Hmmmmm. The "winter project" is coming along nicely. Winter is so subjective. Santa won't mind; you're likely on his "nice" list anyhow. Keep...
That is so...... elegant.
Ok, now I am more confused than ever. I really didn't think anyone would like it's current silver color. Maybe I'll live with it for a while. I...
Dropped one exhaust pipe on the way up to Santa Maria. I "borrowed" some fence wire from the chain-link fence along the highway to hang it back up.
Best damn story I've heard in ages! I have 3 young sons; can't wait for similar adventures! Thanks for sharing! DD
Thanks guys. I was drawn to the silver because most of my mental images of 50's hot rods are in grey-scale from all the B&W photos dating back...
My 59 wagon with my 31 coupe [IMG]
The current silver color of the coupe was predicated on a deal I made with the painter who had some extra silver paint which saved me quite a bit...

The book is required reading for a traditional Model A build. It contains a wealth of information. Enjoy.
Beautiful. I am addicted to this build. Thanks for taking the time to post your progress. DD
I would just like to take a moment to point out that HEMI was able to work-in the term "ne'er-do-well" into his erudite discussion about...
Wooooooooow! What a score!!!! (I did that once when I stumbled on a huge cache of vintage Batman comic books. My wife nearly killed me.):eek:
Thanks guys!!!!
The overflow is not clogged.... cuz it overflowed! D'oh!
Yes, obnoxious loud electric fuel pump.
Actually the tank is a custom fab'd fuel cell in the trunk that sits below the level of the carbs. That's why I'm confused.
Yesterday I topped-off the coupe's fuel tank for a long cruise up the coast -- and it flooded the motor. How does that happen? Without the...
Terrific find!
It's really coming along. The chasis and mill look terrific. Keep us posted!
1979 Porsche 911. Ouch. That shit hurt.
