Nice one from TROG 2018!

 

Agreed. Looks like he's holding the passenger door closed.

As much as those body's flex he probably is holding the door closed.

 

My 29 Banger, 6 volt, mechanical brakes

 

Like your spreader bar

 

Thanks, I cutdown a stock Model A brake crossbar and repurposed the cast iron levers into a license plate mount.

 

My car ran at TROG this year, it broke last year so it was pretty cool to make it down the beach

Since I'm just "learn'in" about the OLD stuff....pre40's..why DID so many fellas put their model A's on 32 frames?! The frames were bigger/longer?!

They mistakenly thought it was a fast ,cheap, easy way to go faster.

 

I thought it was because they were the chassis which had the v8 motors in em and when they started showing up in junkyards it was the fastest easiest way to get the v8 motor, transmission, and rear end, all in one package without the hassle of a retrofit. They are bigger and longer as well.

 

Yes I was being slightly facetious, although it was the end of the decade before V8s consistently outperformed the bangers.

 

Here is my 31.

I brought home this beauty of a Roadster yesterday... my girlfriend has claimed it so I’m not sure I’ll get to ever drive it


Lil’ Miss Alli is her name born in 1928 and she’s 90 years old.

Another one saved
It will get a set of 35 wires with 5.50-7.50 tires, some reverse eye springs and a few leafs removed to get her sitting a little closer to the ground and some juice brakes.
