Projects My Nephews first car is a Model A! I'm so proud!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by mctim64, Sep 14, 2010.

  1. Those of you that know me are aware that I never got around to having any kids of my own, just to selfish in my younger years, but I have always enjoyed the company of my sisters two boys. Their father I wouldn't consider a car guy (I couldn't wish for a better brother-in-law though) so I would like to think I had some sort of influence on my Nephews choice in cars. The two are twins and have different tastes in everything but one has just purchased a Model A and the other is closing in on a Mercury Comet. I will help them as much as they want me to but for now they seem to want to do it on their own, I can definitly respect that.

    Here's a clip of the first ones car, it's a little rough but I'm sure you guys can dig it. ;)

  12. He wants to restore it "stock" I'd like to atleast hop up the Banger. ;)

    Yes, it is his first car! and it is what he has wanted for some time now. I took him around town to see some other Model As a couple of years back just to get an idea. He has been looking.

    That's one cool ride. My dad went over to America for a hoilday to buy parts for our model a project. My dad found a 29 Tudor that was turned into a cool little pickup. Can't wait to get started.
