Hot Rods Latest build from the Garage in the Woods

'31 Model A coupe, 1948 flattie with Navarro heads, 400 Jr. cam., center dump headers.Running the stock cast intake with one 94 for now, Navarro "Universal" intake with two 97's later.Motor done at Rayco Machine, Amesbury Mass. by Dr. Rick LaPlante. 5 speed s-10 tranny, GM rear with 273 gears.This started out as a low buck car with flat black brushed on paint, was then going to be done with real paint(black running gear with a dark maroon body), and this is how it ended up( don't ask me, it just did).Time for road tests and de-bugging, but thought I'd throw it to the dogs and see who bites.If I ever learn how to use the computer and the new HAMB, I've got tons of pictures.

 

Nice work!

 

Good Job!

 

Looks awesome! Just needs another carb on that flattie--

 

Add fenders and running boards and it would be EXACTLY the kind of car I want to end up with.

Great looking job and car buddy.

I like it a lot..great build and a lot of interesting touches. HRP

 

What are you running for a pedal assembly?

 

Cool

 

Sweet

 

I Diggit. That green is a neat color

 

Pedal assy. is TCI with hydraulic clutch( new to me but thought I'd give it a try) color is Ford p.u. green P-4 I think, and black with flat clearcoat.Intake will be upgraded, and stock fenders are living in the overhead right now.I was thinking "bobbed" rears and cycle fenders on front?? Thanks for the positive feedback- kind words and willing friends sure help! Mike from Mass. View attachment 2662736 [/ATTACH]

 

Nice.

 

Cool car!

 

Looks good Mike! Good to see the updated pics, keep up the good work!

 

Love the Louvers and great job everything looks clean and very classic.

Bump to top?

 

Yea, this one needs to be at the top again. Very nice build. Your color combination absolutely works. Keep it fenderless btw.

 

Had the pinstriper over today- updates coming. Thanks again to everyone for the positive feedback!I just may have to build ANOTHER one( actually I have another roadster body and a rebuilt 327 with a fresh P.G. and a 10 bolt posi rearend for next winter ) I freakin' love this stuff!!

 

Green and black looks good!

 

Thats one bad lookin' ride!

Streetrods are driven by Chevy, hotrods are powered by FORD!

 

Looks great. Would love to see some more pics of it outside in daylight.

 

That's a very well thought out and executed build, very nice!

 

BTT por favor. Gracias. ( just practicing) The Maestro, Mr. Ted Kiley layin' down the stripes.

 

Really like the satin finish on your coupe...mind telling what you used to achieve it?
Also, what's that color...hard to tell on the computer...looks great.

 

The white firewall bugs me... other than that I love it! Nice car man

 

Sorry the firewall doesn't do it for you- I like to use white because a good friend of mine told me "If you paint it white, it'll look like crap". After that I had to. Color is a Ford p.u. green (P-4 I think,'80's color) and it's got clearcoat with flattener over it.Not really what I had expected, but I'm getting used to it.The car was originally going to be flat black(boring), then maroon with black running gear, and it ended up green and black and white.???

 

Love it! Always had a crush on Model A coupes.

 

Nice job!

I like it, basic with just enough little touches to make it "yours". Either bobbed rears and cycle fronts or fenderless would go just as well in my opinion.

Will we get a chance to see it in the real at the TY-Rods meet this Sept?
