Hot Rods Tall guys and Model A roadsters!

It's attached to original tank mount and seems straight to me

 

It’s a fun time to return to the HAMB it seems!

I have sat in Metalshapes car and while I’m only 6’, it was super comfortable. I’m building a ‘28 roadster on 32 rails. Having had a ‘24 T (on 32 rails) and a ‘32, I imagine I’ll need a slightly lowered and set back seat in my A but not too much.

 

Nice to see ya back Germ - you were missed.......good thread you started and great feedback from those big shoes....

 

Camera angle, then.

 

found this link, not any real good chassis pics though but one with the door open shows the fitment of the frame and the seats

Sport coupe, taller doors help with tall driver. Here we are 90% completed, only 90% to go LOL. Some more pics and build details here:

That is a beautiful car.

Very impressive build...

 

You know your car was a major inspiration to me on this build. Thanks for your kind words, you made my day!
Are you still running that Mallock?

 

Thanks man

Yeah, still have the Mallock

Here is an old pic of the 2 together.

 

Cool truck too, they're keepers!

 

Put the floor at the bottom of frame, or even slightly lower. Make the trans/driveshaft tunnel, transmission crossmember, seat pans and floor using heavy gauge steel sheet , so that it has the strength and function of “uni-body” construction. The trans tunnel can actually be skipped, and just go with the driveshaft tunnel. It should also be stout enough to contain the driveshaft, like a driveshaft hoop. A transmission in the cockpit, surprisingly works out quite well!

 

@J.Ukrop is also a tall fella with an A roadster

 

there was a company that produced a lengthened T-bucket body which, to me, didn't look "right." i don't see why you couldn't make it work on an A, though.

 

Lengthening my doors 3" was the hardest part of my build. I put 2 "more in the quarters.
I wouldn't be able to drive it otherwise.

 

Your wife allowed me to sit in it at Deuce days. I can attest that it is much more spacious than a standard size RPU.
