Flop,

You are certainly a metal master. Love what you are doing.

Flop, I think when it is all done , that Model A dash rail will look like it has always been married to the new dash! I can see it already!
60 Special

 

I don't feel right making metal suggestions to flop... he is the go to guy...
but lacking those skills the lazy in me takes over... what if you trimmed the top 5/8" or so raised bead off the '30-'31 closed car dash rail... and run it as a cover to hide the seam between the dash and cowltop...
flop could leave a little extra dashrail when trimming and make a cool edge that rolls under and contacts the new dash...
... go flop go !

 

Dash rail will end up looking something like this but drop down the edges of the dash to take up the weird gap issues .

Last pic answered my first question. . . What dash is that? Very unique dash. Love it!
Second question- "My folding windshield stanchions" can you elaborate? Mine are a little guffey.

Damn. That dashboard looks great in there.. I'm stoked to see you put this one together. Roadsters rule.

 

Flop, will you finish this in time to run it on the beach? You can always put the fenders on after.

Messing around with a set of 32 fenders.... think late 30s coach built

Now will go with a 32 frame . 32 fenders . With the A ontop

What did the hood side panels come off of. Look like they came off a 12 cylinder car. Keep up the good work. Frank

 

Oh Boy, here we go! Hang on to your butts.

 

Arg! Flop has gone everybody one better. Coach Work is quite a jump from his plebeian tin wrangling to esoterica. And, for one, I am all for it. About time for him to really strut his stuff. And, to build it for himself is icing on the cake. Like all who follow your amazing work, I can hardly wait to see your further choices. This is high drama. Wow!

 

32 franklin .

Very cool project, will have a cool vibe for sure.

 

Looking great man!

 

32 Franklins were air cooled and needed big vents.

 

Looks like it’ll be cool!

What happened to this build?

 

I was wondering where Flop is? He hasn't posted in some time, hope all is good with him. Really miss his magic shows.

 

Flop is remodeling his house.

IMO ‘28/29 fenders are the best looking ever made.
