Projects just Another Model A Build

Just wait till I get someone's hubcaps on those wheels!!

 

Looks very nice! Are the fenders still part of the plan? I had a four door when I was in high school in 1961.

 

No fenders for now
May change later

 

This is some of Michael Tregoning's work. I hope it looks this good when I get it on the road! Thanks Michael.

 

she breathes!!

 

Sweet music. You are to be congratulated.

 

Makes me want to get my banger running! Nice work!!

 

Have a slight fuel drip from the filter bowl and need to throw a timing light on it. I have no clue what the advance curve is with this distributor. Not used to Strombergs yet, jets are as it came out of box.

 

Very nice project, don't know why it took me so long to find it. Wonder what the difference is in a 1930 back section and a 1929? I'll measure my '29 door jamb to back glass tomorrow , it looks shorter than your '30. Bob

 

Let me know if u need any measurements from me.
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while,been too busy at work

 

2 winters and finally around the block last weekend.

 

I will take a leaf or 2 out of the rear. I still have a bunch to do, but now it drives.

 

Very tidy... too bad they only look that way for a short time. Take a LOT of pix! Gary

 

yea, the brand new paint on the bottom of the fuel tank is peeled from 1 steering support bracket rivet seeping. Sucks

 

Nice work..quick too.I remember when you started this car on the VFF..get a 30/31 steering column support,coat that rivet with epoxy

 

never got to see the interior!

 

Glad the motor checked out . Sounds great with the goodies you added. Been following your build great job and looks nice .

 

I have the later column support but wasn't going to install unless there was a problem. I tried some of the epoxy stick that you kneed, and I don't think it will work unless I make a dam all the way around the casting. I will try a dab on the rivets this weekend. Using alcohol to degrease before sticking it. I dropped a second tank off at the radiator shop and having him cut it open and do it up right. Removing the old column support altogether. Wish someone was reproducing these tanks, but then they wouldn't be right and we would have to deal with that.

 

The car looks great. I’m falling for the 4-doors I’ve been seeing lately.

 

I welded up all the excess holes in the frame horns today and made a spreader bar. If I recover from the heat and welding today I will touch up the paint in the morning. This was my first time mig welding.

 

Looking great, keep up the good work

 

Looks like you did just fine!

 

Your car looks great! I placed a straight edge across the rear door jambs and measured to the rear glass and got 22 1/4 inches on my 1929 rear section, what would your 1930 measure? Bob

 

Bob, I measured 25". I may be a little off, but not much. I think I measured close to the top of glass and now looking at pic the back window is little bit of a angle. If you measured lower then we may be close.

 

Thank you for taking the time to measure your back section. I like the one piece look of your top, gives the car a nice clean look. Bob

 

Mocking up a 32 grill shell and a Brookville 1 piece hood top. I am not sure I like it yet.

 

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER TO MUCH RED .
