Nice work as per usual. Will be watching.

 

Great work, especially like the windscreen post treatment, very good idea.
Keep at it,

Tom,

When you say Hershey...are you building to sell at the swap meet or did you have too many Guinness?

 

Nice work, see you there! Bob

 

Thanks everyone ! Sitting pretty looking fast waiting for primer .

 

Hi Tom, roadster looks great, as does all your work. I know you are busy, but when you get back from Hershey, please give me a call. My email must not be working again. Thanks, Charles

 

What is your spot at Hershey? Would like to come by and see that body on Thursday.

Andy

 

Very nice work Flop....what are you going to want for it?

 

just wondering, are most people riveting, bolting or welding these bodies together?

 

Thanks guys . Chuck I'll give you a ring after Hershey . Spot number OBM 15-18. In the orange field . The body is exactly as ford made it with bolts spot welds and rivets .

 

definitely need to stop by and check it out.

 

Thats real nice, how much?

 

Brookville sells em 5-5500.

 

I'll take a dozen of em at 5k assembled blind owl .

 

How much?

 

and Flop assembles better than Henry ever did

 

I can tell you that this a much nicer body than a Brookville body. Since I have a Brookville body that was assembled with absolutely no pride . A Brookville starts at $6800 without a gas tank or windshield. This body is IMO worth more because of the panel fit alone. Bill

 

Id rather a henry body than a new one any day. Are the bodies built on the frame thats going to be used ? If not , gaps will change .

 

No model A frame was the same .

 

Still no selling price????????

 

10k

 

Yes 4 million plus and none are the same . I build off a frame that is square within a 16th and level without sag . So you are starting starting from a perfect platform .
