Projects My First A, mostly traditional

Wow...your car is really looking good....your welding skills will get better over time, (we all learn by practice and more practice) but I think you are doing a great job...the 'look' is going to be awesome I'm sure!...love 'period' cars big-time...thanks for the pic-thread man!

 

good looking car - I'm enjoying reading this and looking at the pictures.

 

Glad your back in the groove.

 

A little progress. Starting to look pretty. Downhill from here.

 

Moving along...

 

What paint did you use on the frame and related parts?

 

Clean!

 

Very nice!

 

Its rattle can, rustoleum, semi gloss

 

Can you show some pics of how you hooked up the emergency brake?

 

The cables are not hooked up yet, but here is the handle

 

A couple of update photos...

 

Very nice!

 

I really like how your using and making what you have. $$$ can be a BIG setback when doing this kind of a project. Glad your still moving forward. I really didn't like the new format either but I've adapted because of what this site has to offer.

 

Well Wideglide I think I could learn to live with "Mostly traditional"

Good looking build so far. The beaner likes it real well.

 

Lookin good

 

very nice! thanks for posting

 

Got the hard lines and progressive linkage fabbed and setup. She's officially 3x2 now!

 

Looks good so far, how did the firewall flip go? Can't quite make the details out in the photos, just curious.

 

Great job !

 

The flip was very easy. Just drilled out spot welds and a couple relief cuts. I left it loose for most the build. It was pretty convenient to pop it out for various reasons. This is the only photo I could find.

 

...really like your car, ... I like Model A's even more than I do 32's or 33-4's. nice job.

 

Can't have too many Model A coupe HOT RODS!! ( I've had three).

Now that you've flipped the firewall, are you going to cut the bottom off at the bend and reverse that too? What about that center "well"?

Keep up the good work!

 

The car is pretty much done (other than the chop & interior). Those are old pix. You can see some of it here:

 

Chassis looks great.. Moving along nicely...

 

Really good job, glad to see you back on the HAMB.

 

Thanks all. Its a driver now. I'm planning a chop soon.... then paint (when I can afford it).

 

Time to start getting ready for the next one!! (Parts collecting takes a while)

Nice job; have fun, be safe, and keep it LOUD!

 

Those turn signals are killer! What are they off of? They fit the style of the car so well! Subscribed!

 

They're stock cowl lights for my body style. They sell them. I set them up as blinkers, but I think they were just running lights back then.
