Hot Rods Customs to a hot rod for awhile heres the latest

1930 model a chopped 4in channeled 6in, 302, c4,8in rear, goes to upolstery next week for all red and white tuck and roll. Have not had a a hot rod in years, im sure i will go back to a chopped custom, but i had one like this when i was 18 yrs old still love the hot rods.

PICS ADDED OF KUSTOMS I HAVE HAD

 

I love it! Think it would look much better without all the stripes on the rear though...bad aircleaner,red on the cowl,too. How does it ride? What are you planning on the interior?

 

Hello bob, the air cleaner goes next week changing to early cad with striping, interiorwill be all red and white tuck and roll, does not ride to bad for a model a.
Take care jerry

 

great looking model A...........

 

Thanks hot rod33 i like your pickup

 

Pretty slick looking coupe!! I would run a simple chrome air cleaner and get rid of the frogs mouth on the cowl. The steering column would be a real eye sore for me too but shit, if that thing drives don't screw with it. Just smoke the tires off it and have some fun!!

 

That looks like it could have been box art on one of the model kits from when I was a kid. I like the way it sits too.

Just a quick question, What did the seats come out of originally? They look like they fit the A pretty well and don't look out of place in there.

 

The seat is a bench fits and sits great

 

jeffery, dont like the column either, but to lazy to change it

 

HO ya,Red and white will be super in there. Cleanen her up really nice.

 

Very cool ride, post pics with the new upholstery when you can.

 

Sledish upolstery should be done in about three weeks will post pics then, sure like your merc

 

Red shoot me anothe pm with pics on the chopped 54

 

bad bob got the ugly air cleaner of made one for it from 1951 ford hubcap

 

Sweet looking A.

 

Bob is right. Less is more, that goes for the striping. As for the column, I could never be that lazy, you have to look at that thing every time you drive. I'm just sayin.

 

Nice ride !! dig the pinstriping on the deck lid but a little much on the rear of the roof ... whats the bench seat out of ??

 

Grits, thanks for the good words, checked yours out love it. 63 years old lived in carroltin and farmers branch before i moved here in 1965

 

How about a photo? I'd like to see how it looks...

 

Bob, here is a couple of pics of air cleaner, looks better than the ugly b&m side draft.

 

That's pretty cool...

 

Did you sell or trade the chopped olds???

 

Chitle, sold the olds to a partner of mine that owns msr kustoms in brisbane australia, i know ive got to get another chopped kustom, ive had nothing but kustoms for the last 25 years its hard to be without one.
Take care jerry

 

rs2 NOT SURE WHAT THE SEAT IS OUT OF BUT FITS GREAT AND SITS GOOD

 

That looks great!!!!! Reminds me of my old model A. If you decide to change that column, Speedway makes a really nice, no frills, polished column with a spline on top. I used a sprint car wheel with a quick release on mine. Looked great in the hot rod.

 

Zombie your model a was vey kool

 

BAREFOOT...well it looks pretty damned conventional to me, and the scalops are from the era too. man if you listen to some of these people, you'll be changing the firewall next. O YEA just ask grits. man i love your old huppy!...POP.

 

Holeshot, i hear you, after having a double bypass and three stints i feel good that i can just drive these old cars anymore, thats why the steering column does not bother me, it looks good hauls ass and i have fun driving it, being 62 years old and having as many hot rods and customs as i have had, whats always been important is to drive them, have as much fun as you can and meet as many kool people as you can when your doing it. And so far these old pieces of iron keep doing just that. I was raised 20 miles from you in ennis
take care

 

bob are going to be at pomona
