    Does anyone have more photos of unchopped, high-boy, Model A coupes they can post? (Including sport coupes, business coupes, cabriolets(?), etc.. These are the only pix I've found, most of them are from here on the HAMB. Any help appreciated, Gary

    I just changed the title to cover all A coupes, just to help out the search.

    And BTT. GN

    Why is it that 90% of these are on 32 rails?
    Dont get me wrong, I love 32 rails, but my 31 is on A rails.
    Waiting for a chop!

    My buddy "four banger Troy's" from here on the H.A.M.B. at the Antique National this year. His hopped up four banger sounds like a high compression, pissed off farm implement... And I mean that in the best possible way!

    Wow... You know, I assume some of the images I have are from works n progress, but it's hard to think of laying into such a nice, finished car. Gary

    Is this "Oiler" car owned by a HAMBer? I'd like to learn more about it. I really like the look... sits fairly level, tires all the same size, no chop, etc. It looks pretty ornery & is certainly contrary to what most folks feel they have to do to make a hot rod. Gary

    That looks like T.J.'s coupe although it's hard to tell with all the dirt on it. He likes to run on dirt tracks, his car sits level and all the tires are the same size for the dirt. He was also in the Inaguaral "Race Of Gentlemen" on the beach in Jersey recently. His handle is Throttle Jockey on the HAMB. Looks like him behind the wheel and he has "Mercury Powered" on the hood of his car.

    Just looked again. 99% sure it's T.J. He likes to louver things also and there are louvers on that car's hood. That's T.J.'s car

    ^ Thanx, I'll PM him. I did see all the images of the car on the beach race coverage. Who didn't follow that event? Gary
