Projects 1930 Model A Project

I wish I had more to show, but progress has slowed and I am collecting parts right now. Life, economy and everything else forces it on to the back burners.

 

Making a little progress getting the coupe on suspension, wheels and tires. Wheels are out getting sand blasted and I finally got the wish bones and installed them. They are custom made by a metal craftsman here in vegas. Made of stainless steel with the steer through option. I have them on my roadster as well and love them.

 

If I had found the car you did and had the skills you have, the car would look exactly like you've done it. Great build!

 

One of my favorites on here, you know I'll be waiting for more!

 

i think its cool.

 

looking sweet!

 

I've had some questions about how I set up and what drop I used for steering arms for the steer through bones. Although the coupe has a four inch dropped axle my 32 has a five inch drop and I used three inch dropped steering arms. Minor adjustment was needed to center them in the steer though opening so I think two inch dropped steering arms on the four inch axle will be close for this application. I am sure that minor adjustment will be needed but it should be close enough to accomplish.

 

this is just sad.

 

^Why is it sad?

Didn't you come here because it's a hot rodding forum?


billthx138, Any updates on the build?

 

go man go! this thing is going to be so nice. can't wait to see it completed!

 

I think your gay? ^^

Regardless the car is freakin sweet!

5 STAR!

 

I would not have had the heart to cut that car, but it's looking good! Please keep us posted on any progress.

 

Shocked at the very first pictures.. but impressed with the current ones..
Every kustom starts with a stocker.. Although, I couldn't have done it
myself, it looks nice.

 

This is a cool build. Wish I had the bucks for the initial buy in for a restored car to start with.

Keep posting pics, the car looks great.

 

Nice car, and I also have cut up a restored car and loved all the people that get mad at me for doing so.

 

seem theres alot of restorers on this HOTROD FORUM. bitchen car BTW

 

That car is worth more now than before. Plus, it's just Bitchin! (The car that is)!

 

I've a 1955 265 C.I. going in my 1930 five window those are some great motor mounts. I'd love to use something like those on my build.

 

any updates on this bad boy?

 

your car looks awesome any updates

 

That was a real nice car. So nice of you to do some product improvement!

 

I'm just jealous..Hard to beat a chopped and channeled A.

 

The coupe was looking a little anemic so I had to roll her out to get a little sun. This was the first time out of the garage since the project started giving me a chance to get a feel of the over all metamorphous from stocker to hotrod.

 

Very nice. The stance is spot on! It's always fun to roll it out of the garage and get further away than the six feet distance your held to in your garage.

 

An un-chopped Model-A is about as cool as a phone booth... You did a great job on the top, as well as the rest of the car for that matter!

 

I want.

Gorgeous! You nailed everything with that. Perfect!

Edit:

What rim and tire sizes are on there? Love the stance...

 

Been following this since the beginning (can't remember if I posted or not) but I love how you did the channel and LOVE how you positioned the body in relation to the rear tire... PERFECTION my friend!

Being 100 miles northeast of ya, I hope to see it on the road soon!

 

I've never understood it. All the guys who know what they are talking about tell you to get the very best body you can afford and it will save you money in the end. That's what you did and you have a beautiful hot rod, yet alot of "hot rodders" here are acting like you broke some unwritten rule by starting out with a solid car. Kudos to you, nice work.

Awesome! looks great! Who cares what you started with it looks better as a rod than a stocker! I love it except the sbc
