Hot Rods A Civil Sedan

That is one nice hotrod sedan for sure.Very tastefully done.

 

One of the coolest cars by one of the greatest guys you'll ever have the good fortune of meeting! Nice write-up Ryan.

 

A bit different but very nice and beautifully built. Excellent craftsmanship.

 

Very nice Hot Rod , powered by a Y-block very nice.

 

Hurray for Y-blocks............and Model A sedans done this well!
Can you fill us in on what is the drive line behind that beautiful Y, Ryan?

 

Beautiful car, love the Y-block, plus all of Tim's contributions to Y lore on the HAMB, and elsewhere.

 

Very nice Tudor, I like the look. Bob

 

Nice set-up! Thanks Ryan!

 

Love that sedan.

 

Thank you Ryan for the recognition. I just want to say that it was built with a lot of help from friends. Derrek Boling and the guys at Boling Brothers for the chop and chassis (among other things), Marty Lebar for the paint and body work, Bryan Bobrowski for help with the interior and a big thanks to Mark Skipper for the inspiration to build a car like this.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

That Y-block in that Unibody is the best sounding engine on the salt. Pissed off - that pretty much sums up how it sounds.

Nice work, Tim.

 

Thanks!!!! Tim told me about the old abandoned Grapevine highway that was built in the early 1900's. So we met up in the hills on the abandoned highway and shot his vehicle, it was a great day!



Y-Block guy out on the Salt.

 

That Sedan is exquisite. I love it!

 

Beautiful sedan! I'm curious about the (front) seats - any modifications done to them structurally?
I'm building a sedan with similarities.

 

I like that I can't fit it in to my often narrow minded compartments. Because it's not taken too far in any direction I can appreciate it as a God's Honest Hot Rod. Lately I have been trying to judge finished cars by what my response would be if they pulled up to my home in it to shoot the shit on a Sunday afternoon and that car right there I'd puff my chest out so all my neighbors knew that MY FRIEND brought the cool hot rod. That probably makes Zero sense. I like it that way....

 

Thank you! Seats are as made by Ford in 1930, Bryan (@crminal) did the seats for me, he is a craftsman in the highest order. They are very comfortable and you can not hear a squeaky spring in any of them.

 

I have ogled this car in the past,well built and still has that understated look.

Beautiful car. HRP

 

Less is more in my book.The interior is well appointed in its spartan like beauty and everything else about the car is just so right.

 

Nice presentation of a nice car with a compelling story. Well done, Mike and Ryan. Hot rod journalism at its finest.

 

Nice car nice writeup....

 

Congrats Tim on the recognition of your fine build. Your vision, your way..... all comes together beautifully.

 

I REALLY like Tim's sedan! I suspect if I built one, it would have to be similar. Thanks for posting Ryan.

 

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START THE WEEK! Great shots of a beautiful car, well done on both counts! Thanks for the excellent post Ryan, and for the beautiful build, McT! Now, lets hear that video again on surround sound!

 

Here's a little sound of the Sedan.

 

Love the car and you could not meet a nicer guy than Tim
Great shots of the car
Ryan thank you for the write up

 

As you can see, when the seats are cut out in the center, the back posts can apply a lot of leverage to the seat bases and crack them. Add Tims love for HP and its "game over" .

You can see the difference in the stock post and the one I lengthened. Added 2 more bolts and several inches. Also, I ended up not using a cut out base. It was made solid for strength and did not need a cut out as the springs went right to the wood.

Although I re-tied Henry's springs, new units are available from LeBaron-Bonney.
