Hot Rods Curious: Who all's got Model A's in the works?

Killer project A,s.

 

doin a 31 on 32 rails.. just got the motor mounted last week .. has 40 ford frt end, 401 nailhead and a 9" rear end ..
lookin for a 3 duece set up .....
heres a few progress pics so far ,,

 

heres mine. its at industrial chassis. slowly but surely

 

Unless I missed 'em, I didn't see Smokey's RPU.made from a sedan cowl and the rest is homemade. I also missed Kiwitinbasher's sedan at B'ville but the most famous A on the HAMB hasta be Brother Don Dillard's primered coupe. I tossed in a photo my stolen 30 closed-cab pickup--stolen before I could pick it up after my dad died and left it to me.
My votes for the baddest A-boners go to Big Dirty, Orcas tow's car and that fuckin Brian Bass makes a helluva shubox but his model A is a bad-ass as they come..
And who could forget Jeff's Poncho powered C-dan?

 

I have about the same thing only a 31. What did the top insert come from?
thanks,
Kirk

 

Slight update on my 'ugly duckling'....

Well I Got My Motor In .. Gettin There ...

 

It came from a 80 olds wagon. A malibu, buick or pontiac wagon from the same years would be tha same I think, (78 - 8? possibly).

Well, mine's part A. "It's a 29, 31, 49, 50, 66, 84, 05 automobile..." to paraphrase "The Man In Black". Here's a few pics (work in progress just like me):

 

where in the hell is HAYSTACK, with his injected 30 tudor??????????? LUKESTER

 

14-1-06, been stripping the "rat black" off today so hopefully people will finally see I'm building a traditional 60's rod NOT a 2000's ratrod! Sorry sick of people asking "are you building a ratrod", when I have said I'm building a 60's style rod.

 

I DO... Just finnaly have the pics at work.
I now have the roof mage and chicken wired ready for batting and canvans
Next I get to stripp the whole thing down... Again.. and finnish the chassis

 

Wow, DodgeRodder, your ride really rocks, I was looking to get my 29 Model-A 2dr Sedan that low (I have to work on it). It's down to 52 1/2" at the roof line in front of the rear tires. Like to know how low yours is. Keep on slamming on it and make the Round in Austin, Tx.
I have not been able to post pics but heres a link:

Some of the ideas came from Marty's and Son out in Sick-a-More, Il. and will be adding some kind of flared running board to cover the pipes and kill some of the rust..

 

Finally got ne myself. Here's a pic:


And some info about it here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87911

 

Got one coming in my shop next weekend for a chop. I will post pics once she is in.Should be cool

 

Mines sitting next to yours Mike Z in the 815.

 

Here be mine.

 

My '29 coupe project is scattered across 2 garages. Here's the cab, locked down to the lift. I'm in the process of replacing the passenger side sub frame and rear wheel panel. The drivers side is already done. If I'da knew more about A's when I bouight this tub, I wouldn't have bought it at all. BUT, Live & Learn.

 

After seeing 11 pages of thread feel kinda silly jumpin' in. That being said there are Two '28 A's waiting for some atttention one Tudor and a Roadster. Most of the parts have been gathered for the Roadster andit is on deck as the next project. The Tudor is just a body but a very nice body with all the little peices.


Got to fininsh the '40 Coupe first and just dragged a '51 Club Coupe home. It has been suggested by my better half that the Tudor should be sold because of the '51.

 

Hey Lenny ,I hope that is mine you are talking about.Spent part of today getting it ready for you.

This is my roadster pickup that I built by cutting down an original 31 sedan body, fabricating a bed from scratch, and using a set of glass fenders. I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I put 2300 miles on it this past summer, and I am currently building a carson style non folding top for it.

 

If ya'll keep this shit up, my '31 might get pulled off of the back burner.

 

Old pics and of course I am side tracked again. Demented lot of dreamers...

 

Got a 29 roadster almost done---

 

Looks very good willie, lets see a few more pics.
