Projects Model A, Hemi and the six inch chop

Harley is full of good suggestions like that

Perhaps I need to post a photo of that Hemi-A coupe with spindle mounts that I saw at Lonestar for some extra encouragement

Anyway.....I'm just about to leave to drive down to Pendine

 

Ha ha, you'll really confuse me if i see some great Hemi coupes !

Surprised you are looking at this, seeing how Pendine is calling. Hope you have a really good weekend !
I'll be surfing the net looking for pictures of the racing, next year i want to be there on sand with my camera.

 

fully fendered - spindle mounts and slicks would make it look killer!!! whatever wheels and tires you end up running you are gonna have one of the coolest cars this side of the pond next year

 

Yeah, i'm liking the sound of it more and more !
Thanks for the kind words, hopefully it'll be a cool car. I'll always be up for suggestions to improve or change it around

 

Your post on your chop is really very complete and thank you a lot for every detail it is the most complete that I was able to see so far thank you very much to have taken time to detail everything

 

Great thread. Keep the updates coming!

 

Thanks, i'm pleased you enjoyed it. I tried to document it just so i could look back and think... shit, that was a lot of effort
It may not be the best way to do it, but it gives a good idea of the amount of work involved !

 

Thanks, more will be on it's way soon... i hope

 

New trunk floor made to fit the chassis mods





Modified the seat sub rail section and the seat base to clear the transmission, and kept the seat in the same position.
They have even moved the seat adjuster to one side so the seat still slides.

 

*cough*

 

That reminds me of a blue metallic one that's been around a while. Always fancied that one.

 

the brown A above is just bitchin - always loved that photo

was this the blue one you meant?? what happened to it was always around few years back

 

Yeah that's the one i was thinking about !
I'd change a few things seeing it now, but it's very similar to the gold one. I've not seen it for a few years.

 

its still around.and in Croydon,surrey.owned by one of our club members

 

Cool, it's not too far away from me, i should see it sometime

 

New floors and tunnel.

Looking great, i’m really surprised how much room is still left. When i had the Hemi in the ’32 pickup it was rather cramped inside. Obviously more space in the coupe but the engine bay is a lot smaller. This should be a lot nicer to drive !

 

Real nice man, good clean approach on that.

 

Very cool build, thanks for the frequent updates !

 

Very nice floors

 

Thanks i'm really pleased with how it's going !

 

Thanks, glad you are following along !

 

Thanks, it's going to be a great place to be sat in !

 

I had the day off work yesterday to take a 110 mile trip up to Buckland Automotive ... to see the beast.
It's a bit breath taking seeing it hiding in the workshop as i walked up the yard. All the hard work they've put in, is quite stunning, I'm still grinning from ear to ear.

Mocking up where to put some blisters. The hood sides will be another hand made piece, blistered and louvered. Adrian’s going to try and make it in one piece !





Loads of space !





Rear end looks awesome, pleased i went for the Winter’s axle !



Then the hood came off and the wild ideas started !



Adrian pulled out his spindle mount front wheels and we all just stood and stared !

 

ooOOooh!

 

Me, too! Those spindle mounts would look fantastic on your car.

 

And me too, i've been ooooh-ing for weeks !

 

Oooooh yeah they do look awesome !
Not quite what i had in mind, but wow... it's hard to resist !

 

no hood - spindle mounts - slicks!!!! Fuk that thing looks hard as nails

 

I'm not sure the cops would love it as much as us !

 

Hemi is trying to bust out !
