Projects Dagel's 29 Model A SDN from junk and castoffs

I could not find the rims I wanted 4.5”x15” 5on5 lug pattern so I took a set of 6” wide and cut them down.



Changed from bags to coil overs

There were a bunch of changes done away with the 2x4 rails and use 32 rails instead



It was a lot more work but it look better setting over the 32 rails 4”



I’m wind up with 5.5” ground clearance



Here it’s at ride heights but the tire are 3” off the ground



Coil over bracket are mounted a little different but it fits



I will have 3 master cylinder 2 for brakes 1 for the clutch



Not my favorite location but you have to have a battery only have a 1” bump to make it work



Everything I am doing is to keep ever inch of interior room I’m 6’1” and 359# so room is nessary

need to find a match to this seat I think Chevy van middle seat.
It fits and more importantly I fit comfortably. Will do a little reshaping and new covers

That seat is a good fit, hard to do in these

 

Tires sure make a difference

i had some fender well exit headers made for a pickup .see in my avatar. and they look good stuck out a little farther then I liked. and lets admit it not very practical.



so figured I would just run the cast iron one that worked till i mounted the gear box .



so now its either:
custom build headers very time consuming
a set of lake pipes. easy to build and $169
or a set of cast iron ram manifolds $390
looking like a set of lake pipes. seen on ebay set of lake pips for sbc are only $100 wonder if i could cut the flange off and make them work on a yblock?

 

I keep chugging along when I can find the time for my stuff. ising a 64-7 mustang tank not my first choice but there cheep.

 

I did not like the sharp edge on the wheel well so bent some tubing and split it in half to make a bead . Took several hr to weld each side but it dressed it up .
Along with the ready of the theam of using left overs it looks like the car will be yellow and the bead work green. Not sure I will like it but the paint is a very good quality and best of all it’s free
I always start with dynaglass or something similar over all welds it does not absorb moisture like bondo does


the green is 3 qt I had left from my 59 ford


I have 2 gallons of this fulcryl 2 paint so may as well use it

 

well, this is a large test panel lol.
not sure about the yellow possibly if the window area was all green it would be better.
it defiantly would stand out. and the paint is freelol

 

I like yellow - some of them. When u park on grass or next to green, to my exes some yellow seems to pick up greenish tint - do not like. I use Caterpillar yellow, close to school bus yellow, both a little darker. To my eyes anyway. & Cat paint is cheap

 

Go Packers, go!

 

this is 2 gallons of school bus yellow that got 2 qts of a white mixed in 2.5 gallons total
