Projects Another New England build. . . From pieces

Don't ya just love Model A's. So kool .This is going to be a fun build.

 

My neighbor unstuck the valves on the B I now have by putting it in gear and having his son, grandson, and me push it back and forth up and down the driveway while he rode on the fender of the truck gently bumping the valves through the spark plug holes. We tested compression the same way while he held his thumb over a spark plug hole until it sprayed WD40 at us for each cylinder. Then he drove it.

 

Check out the plugs- too many pine needles

You gotta smile when you look in the rear view mirror and there's a Model A following you. Great picture. Too Kool!

 

You should be driving this thing by now Ronnie...lol

 

Ronnie and I sat in it today and made engine noises- she ran like a top,

That is a big problem for me as a Chevy 6 guy. You can't make the correct engine noises when sitting in your project!

 

Any news?

This is looking awesome! Subbed! Can't wait to see where this build is going to go!

 

Okay, I'll come along for the ride - subscribed! I am constantly amazed at the cars that are put back together and brought back from the dead here on the HAMB.

 

Unfortunately no time to work on my projects. Working every day 6:30am-7:30pm so no time. But that doesn't stop me from lining up parts and making deals.

Try beans and linguica ( Portugese spicy sausage)

 

I've done that holding a Frisbee steering wheel sitting on a milk crate... never missed a shift.

 

Looks like fun. Gathering my own pile. I'm gonna watch.

Check out the Ford Barn classifieds , guy has top sheetmetal listed, and he's semi local. Bob

 

I know it's crispy but I have always wanted a coupe. Now I have most of one.

get the word out on what you need,
most stuff gets sold just before the swapmeet... word of mouth before the swapmeet works... some guys will take less to not have to load it...
Topsham, ME. swapmeet is may sixth...HIH.
oh yeh, looks like that Barbie in the background will get a few burgers soon... melt snow.

 

Good call Sloppy.
NOW HEAR THIS:
I am looking for 30-31
Coupe doors or parts of doors. Could also use more quarter panels or parts.

Looks good man...when you started the thread you had a bunch of swiss cheesy itty bitty pieces.... at least now the chunks are getting big enough to screw together

 

got a $100 pair of full length B pillars for a '30 cpe...

 

Driving around the country in my service truck all I want to do is rescue all the cars... my fiancé would murder me if I dragged another one home! Great build and inspired me to find parts opposed to complete cars.

 

hmmm.... sell one and give her the profits... people change.

 

Photoshop fairy stopped by.

 

Dude! Thank you! That looks great, even pumped up my tire, that is great

Yee Haw, Ronnie! My kinda car!! Cut and Paste

 

That looks as depressing as my '29 Essex when I brought it home. Still got a lot to do. Perley

 

I use door patch panels, I think they are $73.00 each, SNYD'S, but are 18" tall... just under the beltline, they have the correct "compound curve".... if you buy tudor / truck they are 29.25" long...
memory says 16" on the cowl, leaving about 13" from the door back, should cure you...
buy two cut them both in half...
I did... pic. of a tudor door patch cut in half, makes cowl and quarter patches on one side... being tall they eliminate a ton of pitted lower sheetmetal...
liked them so much I bought a pair of coupe "just under the beltlines " door patches... now all lower beads match... HIH.
