Hot Rods MY COUPE IS FINALLY ON THE ROAD!!! Pics + Vid!!

Well, after 2 years of breaking my ass and my bank, my model A is finally running and driving. Not done, but its pretty freakin' close. Humongous thanks to everyone who helped me out, gave me advice, told me I couldn't do it, or just brought out some beers and hung out. Extra humongous thanks to Michael J (hellonwheels) for everything. This sucker wouldn't be here without you dude. The first pic is the way it sat the first time I laid eyes on it, and the last pic is getting wet today for the first time. The biggest thing that amazed during this build is all the "firsts". Even during final assembly, after youve been starin' at it for 2 years, there are still those bad ass "firsts". It's running really good, and I can't wait to leave for the hamb drags next week! The only picture worth a damn courtesy of Mr. Fat Lucky. See y'all at Mokan!!
