Projects Model A pickup, my first build thread

Great looking Model A truck! Can't wait to see more.

 

Thanks.

 

Post 296... where are the post-counts?

 

Look at your post and in the right corner it shows the number of the post.

 

The seat really didn't fit or look that good. It was a 2 piece rear seat that was cobbled together. Dimensionally it fit but that's about all.

 

Looking good man! Did you have to do a lot to make the patch panels fit nice?

I've got 4.75's up front on mine and I think I'm gonna run 7.50's in the back after seeing how good they looked on yours!

 

Measure, measure, measure and leave a little extra anyway so I could fit them tight with no gap.

475's and 500/525's are only 1/8" difference in height. 750's will look good with those.

 

Well, we got some primer on the old girl today. Lookin pretty good. Not perfect, but lots better.

That's my brothers 1959 Sportster he's workin on.

A few more pics from today. I put the 34 commercial trim on my 32 commercial grille. What a difference it made.

Perfect stance, coming together nicely.

 

Thanks Harv! I'm really diggin it. My brother helps a lot with proportion and such. He runs the Math Modeling body surface department at Ford PDC, we both work in Ford prototype. He has the eye. He said, "it's got a lot of bumps and bruises but the lines and stance are dead on and kind of make you look past all the imperfections". That's a pretty big compliment from him. I can't wait for spring!

 

Scott, it's coming together great. That grille is killer. Cobo looks promising, I'll let you know when and if I can make it.
Best,
Rick

 

Love the truck! Stance is everything. You can have a high dollar show car with the wrong stance sitting right next to a old worn out hot rod with the right stance and people will look pass the high dollar show car everytime. Keep coming with the updates!

 

Hey Scott! Nice truck ...looking good! Whatever happened to this 31 Model A coupe body I sold you a few years back?

 

Yeah that trim really made the grille come alive didn't it! Look forward to meeting you, hope you can make it.

 

Well, my brother didn't have the heart to cut it up it was so nice. He sold it to another HAMBer. I can't remember his name right now but he builds really cool hot rods. It's in good hands.

Can't wait to see it in a few days.

See ya in the basement.

Sweet build! Trying to talk my dad into letting me run his truck fenderless I think they look sweet
