Ha ha! Yeah...no problem. Coupe's looking good.
Here's a 32 firewall in a model A [ATTACH]
No I never considered a flat 32 firewall. You would have to do some fab work to make it fit the model A cowl as it's not welded in on a 32. It...
Thanks. They're slightly kicked up like 32 rails do. That little rise gives a couple inches more drop in front. Model A cowls have little feet...
Here's some floor pics that may be of some help. I like to make my floors removable. The master cylinder and battery are under there. [ATTACH]...
Here's how it was done. Unfortunately a few guys just posts to change your mind. You've got a good eye. The difference is subtle but powerful. I...

The release is the part that's facing the driver. You just pull in the handle with your fingers to set the brake and squeeze to release....
Model A coupes are pretty small so I mounted a 48 to 52 F1 e-brake handle up under the dash. It works really well and doesn't need a bell crank on...
Kris Elmer (loudpedal) of Salt City Speed Shop is here on the HAMB. Here's a link to his profile page:...
I have 12" Brockman steel on my current coupe build. Here's a pic how they are mounted. The pipes are 1 3/4" dia. [ATTACH] And here's how they...
Jumper cables are a bad idea. Getting solid contact is questionable at best. Any wire will roll it over on the bench but may not carry enough...
