My model A build thread

nice progress and looking good =)

 

Thanks man!

 

Any progress?

 

Well Rob, if this thing turns out anything like the roadster, it's gonna be one SICK MO-CHINE!!!! Looking great so far!

 

Man i've been busy,work ,family ,build the car.....got the chassis in primer and getting ready to paint and put this thing together for the last time. Gonna drive the car while i get the body ready to paint this winter. Fingers are crossed I get some seat time this summer! I will get some pics posted soon. Later, Rob

 

I can't see any of the images!!! Where did they go!?!?!? Gary

 

Don't know where the pics went,gonna have to spend some time and see if I can get some back up. just about ready to fire the engine for the first time,some brake lines,put the body on and drive it! new pics soon, Rob

 

trying to get pics up frame ready to go

 

putting the body on rough for now,finish body work this winter.

 

Looking good Rob! I was hoping to see it in Joplin this weekend. Maybe next year huh?!

 

Hoping to make it to the greaserama,see ya down the road!

 

I like it. I can only see the last two pictures above. Maybe when the site was changed the pics got lost. That's a nice setup man, lots of work to get that far. Would love to see more. Thanks for posting.

 

Looking good, Rob --- I can't wait to see this thing roaming the streets of Omaha!

Man the date stamp really shows how slow I am.....

 

slow and steady wins the race!

 

I have a Y block in a Model A also (stock frame) and run a generator in the stock location, that is what it looks like you have. not much room to swing the generator to adjust the belt, what is your plan? I built a tensioner pulley that pushes down on the belt and mount the generator solid.

 

Not a stock frame , modified 41 ford have about 2 fingers of adjustment.Also modified the brackets to get it closer to the engine.A tension pulley was plan b. Going to be the first drive next couple days,let ya know how it works out..... Rob

 

some more recent pics,almost ready for a test drive lot of stuff going on in this area quick wire job to get her going

 

Hope to see this in Kansas City this weekend.
