Slammed the '31 Ford Coupe! Sweet and Low Down!

Perfect!

 

How much pressure does it take to stop it with the original mechanical brakes? I'm guessing you have to be fairly strong.

 

You said you removed 2 leafs from the rear springs....Which ones??

 

That is some great Americana, and should be in the next calendar.

Nice ride and ingenuity

 

Hell ya Jason that shit RULES!!!!

 

Love the chop, love the new stance and the high compression banger is just way too cool!

 

Nice work guys! Looks killer!

 

looks badass!!

 

THAT is a cool looking ol Hot Rod. What a transformation....

Perfect!!!

 

it looks great lowered ! nice job will be seeing this in april

 

Very nice Jason !

 

That is some good thinking on using the 32 parts! I'd never heard of doing that.

 

I really appreciate the compliments from some of my most respected friends on the HAMB. That really really means a lot to me. Thanks again guys!!

I'm really happy with how the drop looks and have a huge grin on my face every time I walk out into the garage! I'm also glad my car will no longer be the reference point, higher than all the rest of the cars, in which people use to find the bathrooms at car shows! "They're over by that Model A coupe roof sticking up!" haha

To answer a few questions:

The axle was dropped by Joe's Speed Shop in Ponca, Oklahoma. This is their website. http://www.joesspeedshop.com/joesproducts.htm
Great guy and top notch work. (Hope you get a few sales from this Joe!)

Haha! So much for the "unbreakable" starter bendix. See you in April!

Little old ladies bought these cars back in the day and they managed to stop. Don't need to be strong at all. Just like regular brakes. With mechanical brakes in the right adjustment you can lock up the tires at a stop light!

 

Wish that coupe was sittin in my garage!

 

If you start at the top of the spring pack with the smallest leaf, I removed the 2nd and the 5th leaf of an 8 leaf spring.

Thanks! The picture below is from 1953 and I've been using it as motivation. I like to think my coupe could have been a slightly earlier version of this one.

 

I see why you want a nerf bar now, and one like that would really look cool. And the dropped headlight bar will really finish it off.

 

What size rear tires are those. That is the perfect stance. I that stock frame or the tardel 3" kick up in the back?

 

nice looking.

 

Thanks! The rear tires are 750 x 16 BF Goodrich. 1940 Ford steelies. Henry Ford flat Model A frame.

 

NICE,NICE,NICE! I like your ''A'' a lot!

Nick.

 

WOW...I can't wait to see it at the Autorama.... Looks killer

 

Wow, that is one nice hot rod!!!

 

Bitch'n!

 

It sits just perfect man. Thanks for the info.

 

When you start to drop the headlight bar I would like to check it out .

 

Sweet!! Cant wait to see it Thursday

Rusty

 

Thanks guys! Should be a fun weekend!

 

When I opened this post I expected a fenderless slammed to the ground car. Your car was a pleasent surprise to say the least, love it.

 

Great fab work!!! I love the stance.
