Features New Model A coupe project.

I started building a car last year Oct 2014. It was an old car build that I found from Craigslist. It had a gas welded chop and filled roof with nice original panels , doors , quarters and wheel wells. Model A frame set up for a typical SBC and a Vette rearend ( haha. )

Just trying to figure out how to use this app.
I can load pics of the build. If y'all are interested in it.

 

Sure

 

Lets see them

 

Show us the pics!

 

Post away brother ..........

 

Model A's are cool.. Let's see it...

 

When we bought the car it was fully half ass assembled with ever 5/16 bolt and everything was painted red. And I mean everything

 

51 Lincoln flathead with a hydro. Placement was a little tough with this small frame and a 845 lbs motor.

 

Looks good.

 

Interesting choice for a flathead, they were also in the F6 trucks. Not a lot of parts available. Going to take a lot of cutting on the firewall, the engine needs to go back a couple of inches to clear the radiator if it is in the stock position or lose the fan mounting and the double hole bracket on the frame is right in front of the door post. Will require moving the firewall back almost to the door post to clear the distributor and fuel pump.

 

Mr Model A Gomez. That's sounds way easier than what I did.

Haha

 

I'm a T and A man ,SHOW ME THE PICRURES ! What's the plan ? chop full fender ? keep us posted. Thanks...

 

basically the car right after I cut the floor out with the Lincoln motor sitting in the way.

 

Did I mention , ever part of this car was painted red ? And not in a good way.

 

Scratch!!!! WHERE have you been!

It's been a long time.

 

Pete.
This new HAMB was beyond me. Trying to post more ....

 

The new crossmembers and floor structure going in.

 

Looks like you're starting with a good body. Mine is a true epic rust case, but we'll make it work. You're making good changes.Keep posting pics.

 

Is that a 337? BEAST!

How did you go about the dimpling on that tubing for your X member? I like how you did that.

 

I like where this is going.

 

Dang that's holy!!!

 

Thanks.

 

Patmanta yea. It's the 337 cid. It was just drilling and dimpling. Pretty simple. Just time consuming.

I showed my nephew how I wanted it , he did the rest of the holes and dimples.

 

Basically the ends and outs of the floor. Straight forward and simple. Clearing the big Lincoln motor and hydro was the only issue.

 

Damn I've driven over bridges that weren't as stout as that subframe. I'll be watching this one close to see if I can pick up some pointers for mine.

 

Thanks Ryan. I'm known for getting some nuts.

 

That's not what I meant.
