A-V8 roadster mock up done, what do ya think?

Some are probably tired of seein this thing, but I got the car pretty much as mocked together as its gonna get. Everything is hooked up, pedals work, ect. Now I just gotta strip it back down, finish welding everything, run brakes lines and put it together. I am no craftsman but am proud of how it's turning out. It will be getting different tailights too. What do you guys think?

 

Looking great Chris. Now finish it.

 

That's looking really good

 

looks great Chris. Watching your builds has inspired me to keep the model A frame under my 30 roadster

 

Looks awesome Chris! What taillights are you going to run?

 

Looks great to me

 

very cool.
Al.

 

Looks great! Find someone on your side of the Rockies to come buy the Model A coupe and you can supervise its build.

 

What's not to like? Nice work so far; please keep us updated.

 

I dig the Crap out of it! I know a guy locally that has a Roadster Body that is rough, i think it's a '30 or '31, and years ago somebody welded the doors shut! I could have bought the thing for $50.00 about thirty years ago, but, i was young and dumb at the time and didn't want to mess with it.Now, it's inside, and the current owner will not let go of it, although he hasn't done anything to it!When i see yours, it makes me sick!!
But, as they say, persistance pays off! I'm not gonna give up on trying to get it!
Adios-

 

Here's the cliche question: What are the tire sizes? I like it.

 

perfect! make it spark n go!

 

Looks like I will be changing my desktop background.....the old one still has the 4 cyl.

 

perfect

 

Count me in with the adoring masses!

 

Perfection dude. If I had a '29 that's what I'd do.....hmmm. Really though it looks perfect.

 

Looks nice

 

Hey Chris your roadster is looking great! It is going to be a geat early style hot rod. What are using for a steering box? What are you going to do for paint?

 

What did you figure out on the manifold hitting the steering box?

Jeff

 

Probably 38 Ford, and I have a bitchin lil license plate light to go above the plate

 

What coupe?

 

5.50x17 front and 7.00x17 rear. Both Firestones.

 

Finish it?...It's done! Congratulations Chris, looks perfect. You must be excited...I would be. Is that a stock seat? What plans for color? Can I have your car? Good luck, have fun. - Rick

 

looks great simple yet elegant

 

Hey Mark!

Steering Box is an F-1 with a Model A mounting flange attached. I'm taking the box to hone the new bushings to fit the sector right now.
For paint, I'm going to paint the frame, engine, tranny and such. Body will probably remain as-is for this year but I am going to put a drivers side wheel well in it. You know I like rat rods

Did that 32 fuel sending unit show up yet?

 

Looks great Chris! I've enjoyed watching you put this roadster together.

 

I'm building headers to fit, it's tight but will work fine

 

Chris, It looks the SHIT!You've nailed the period fairly and squarely on the fuckin' head, PERFECT!

Nick.

 

LIKE IT..LIKE IT..LIKE IT, five stars all the way!

 

just hurry up and finnish it and get on with the truck!!!
