    See,chopped Model A in the back of my pick up box.
    Drove to Albuquequeque New Mexico and bought the coupe from Trent.
    Nice guy,building some killer bikes in his shop..

    My wife drove the whole way,there and back.(with our kids too)
    Having a issue with the DMV.....don't ask.
    And to top it off it was our anniversery!
    How's that for a caring wife!

    Trent is a top bloke, period.

    A couple of years ago he pulled a pair of 29 tudor doors off ePay, after I offered to buy them from him, via the HAMB. He stored them for a couple of months, then packed them so well, they survived the trip down under unscathed, and they are a real good pair of doors.

    If anyone else wants to deal with a genuine seller - Trent (aka RockMtnPits) is the man!

    Eric, you got yourself one bitchin coupe.

    Just looking at what is in the driveway - well you can kind of see why he sold the coupe.

    Lucky bastard!!! I tried pretty hard to get him to part with the body only, but he held out and it fell into the hands of another. Oh well, at least it went to someone who will do it justice. Congrats all the way around.
    :D

    NICE! Anyone know if anyone has ever put a complete model A in the bed of a pickup truck? I'd like to see that :)
    How much is that chop...5"? Looks great!
     
  16. congrats on the score, its a nice setup!

    I believe that chop is 4.5".

    BTW: I have put a complete Model A in the back of a Dodge Dakota Pick-up. It was in pieces, but relatively complete.

    Thats a nice coupe you scored. Like the louvered visor.
     
  27. Nice catch on the body. You find another, lemme know. eh?
     
  28. Gold Chainer. Move to Colorodo and become Eric Snottington!
     
  29. I've reviewed the covenants in your neighborhood and it seems to me there is a maximum 2 vintage car limit. Somethings gotta go there pal! Looks good to me.

    Great meeting you and your family!

    Do that coupe justice, I sure had a hard time letting it go. If you would have called about an hour later, I might not have answered! haha
