Wish I could say it's filler free, but it's a lot straighter than the first time I built it. Still not bad for an 85 year old car.

Looks good Bill. Did you make the firewall mods from flat steel or use a piece from something else?

 

Leftover part from a brookville car plus homemade. Bought a tunnel. The only part that comes loose is over the shifter. Don't like wood toe boards.

Nice work. I really dig the use of a ford powerplant too!

 

. Been doing body work. Car is fairly straight for an 85 year old.

I like small details. They can really make a car.

Been a while. More progress pictures.

 

Looking Good!

 

Won't that engine shred the banjo after one fast start?

 

I'm relying on the low torque of the 289 and the fact that I'm 56 and will try to be easy on the clutch. The open rear is out of a 47 truck and seems a little beefier than a torque tube rear.
​

 

Eh put some skinny tires on it and it’ll be fine.

Like where this ones headed, you roadster guys are tempting me haha

 

Lining up doors.

 

Your build is looking great! And I like the Ford in a Ford agenda.

 

Talking my language with a Ford in a Ford! But where in the hell is Turkey Heaven AL?

 

Home of the THTA. Turkey Heaven Timing Association. East central Alabama.

 

East of Anniston.

 

Don't pay the ransom, I've escaped. Been a while since I posted any progress. I got the body pretty straight and I'm pleased with the driveway paint job.

Looks fantastic!

 

Cobra power and SHINY blue paint... what's not to like

 

Great work.

 

Dang, I missed this one somewhere along the line. nice work and a bit of inspiration on my Vic.

 

Bobbed the rear frame rails so I made a bumper that bolts to the body. I used the 32 tank in the trunk. I don't like the 32 tank hanging off the back of a model A, it doesn't look right.
Going to put the body on this weekend. Will post a few after that.

 

I like the vintage look shifter handle adapted to the new transmission
