My 1930 Model A Coupe Build

Thanks for the compliments. I plan on making the trip in May for the Rust Revival.

 

Here is a picture of the copper fuel lines we have run to the carbs.

 

Coupe looks amazing has a great stance. thanks for the posts. I sent you a PM with some questions thinking about going the same route

 

The steering is close.>> I believe it should be at a/the plane that, imaginary line from the steering knuckle to the pivot of the bone.(or fall somewhere close to it.) Same, with the length of the pitman arm.

 

She's a driver now! Took it around the block a few times yesterday and it feels good.





We have a few more little details and then it's off to get painted. I'm leaning towards a satin silver with the firewall black and maybe the belt line black as well. What do you guys think?

 

Looks wicked. And that sounds like a great paint job! Go for it. I can't wait to see updates.

 

Thanks, I checked out your build thread and I like it. Maybe ill see you around the midwest this summer.

 

Personally, I am not a fan of the slammed look but you have done some nice work.

 

nice work on the chassis,brakkets on the 4 link system are looking good to me.

cheers

 

Yeah it's not for everybody with how low it sits but for me the lower the better. The best part about it is I'm 6'5" and when your in the car it actually has a lot of room. That's what originaly scared me about this build.

 

Today the body is off to be painted and the rear end is coming out to be narrowed 3in on each side.

 

Here's the most recent pics of the new paint. I am going to try and get a few more up here soon...

 

I'll buy it back from ya haha looks great!

 

Thanks Justin. It's been one hell of a project!

 

Steve helped finish up the wiring on the coupe and it's almost legal now!

 

Looks great. Like the color combo also. What are the interior plans?

 

Thanks, I think the colors turned out pretty good.

Interior is going to be pretty simple for now we are going to make the seat a modified bench with tunnel in the middle plywood frame, foam, and maybe rolled and pleated black vynyl? leather?

The dash is finished i will try and snap a pic of that. I am going to do a wood kit on the roof with a simple black snap on top.

My goal is to get it licensed and on the road here in the next couple of weeks to be able to enjoy some of the summer and then when the winter comes tear into some permanant interior plans.

 

Nice looking ride

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. Here is a picture of the dash and the new seat we just put in the coupe. The dash is a 32 ford insert with the original Model A dash rail. We built the seat and my dad's buddy upholstered it for us, it turned out perfect. We wanted to keep it as low profile as possible.

 

looks great. Hopefully my 28 Sport Coupe that my dad and I are building can turn out half as nice.
