Projects Dave50`s Model A Build

Finally decided to build what i got laying around chassis isnt HAMB friendly per say but it`ll have to do for now, dont hammer it to bad its what i can afford and am not a metal or body guy let me know what you guys think and any ideas are appreciated.

 

It certainly looks H.A.M.B. friendly to me! Nice start to what should be an awesome rod! What drive train are you going to use?

 

Ditch the disc brakes and you got a good start.

 

I think you have something great sitting there. Good luck with the build and keep the posts coming.

 

Looks good to me.I think its gonna be a nice project.

 

Look's great. Wish my '31 A's body was that nice.

 

sweet, you may think about flipping the firewall for a bit more room up front. there is a thread on here somewhere about it.

 

Keep Posting!

 

looks pretty good too me! but on the other end what do I know?
Pontiac Slim

 

Looks good from my house .
KEEP POSTED.

 

Thanks Guys appreciate it! I am going with a small block chevy for now i think lol frame is set up for it and i have 8 of them running and lying around its what i do for a living . I have a halibrand 301 rear i am going to use,this is my first build so gonna be a learing experience. I have got my eye on a 32 that i want but dont think its for sale yet and thats the one if ya know what i mean lol, its all old school with just the right amount of upgrades to make it really fun to drive, but it has a chevy and want to put a ford in it if i get it.I also was thinking of reversing the firewall havent found that thread yet. But it seems pretty straight forward. Thanks again will poist more pics asap check my build pics in my profile to.

 

Thanks slim hows it going i been super busy got rid of all the help at work lack of buisness and there laziness lol hope all is well TTUS

 

That thing has one helluva chop, should be a fun car tho. Here's the thread I think you're looking for. Cant wait to see updates!

how much is the body chopped .... I love the look ... Joe

 

Thanks alot Ford mike i was looking for that i did see it before but forgot who did it.

Joe and Mike Its gonna be tough to see out of most likley with the visor,6 inch chop,and windshield will be functional. It is more like 6 1/2 though. I like the look too and wanted a aggressive looking car when done i am winging it here getting ideas from the HAMB. Again idk if i have to raise it yet but if i do it will only a inch . Hope to get more done this weekend thanks again guys TTUS

 

Nice start! Look forward to seeing your build progress.

That thing is really chopped! Can't wait to see more

 

what are u planning on running for a transmission? i vote for a muncie 4 speed to go witha sbc. if u need an A to look at manchester NH aint to far from u.

 

I hope so slim but we will see .

I just got the wood kit today I will post pics asap and the more i get done. It is chopped a ton but oh well i`m still young so the next 1 wont be as bad lol. I am thinking 4spd eberyone says automatic but there to old lol and my exhaust will be very agressive looking but baffled probably gona have change it.

 

Like you car! mine is a 5-1/2 chop in my avatar so similar to yours, When you say agressive exhaust you mean Zoomies? that would be cool, I like the way the sandersons look. Some day I,ll build my own styled after this pic

 

Grappler How in the hell can you read my mind? yes it going to have Zoomies! Thats a good call I have been looking for some pics of the Hellbent coupe i seen in a magazine awhile back what a sweet ride that is and am going to have a car look like that some day.Has anyone ever seen this car ik if its real just a centerfold in a mag
