Hot Rods Kaspar's 30 Model A Build

Ok here we go; this is my first build of this kind so bear with me. I bought the car July 4th weekend of 2011. I plan on making my own frame so I am in the process of collecting parts so I can get everything I need to start constructing the frame

 

On the way back to Atlanta from Fl

it was a running driving car
quickly stripped down and sold running chassis on ebay

 

looks solid and cancer free?

 

My greasy nephew

 

a little shop fun

 

looks like a great start to me! i've got a 30 coupe myself and replaced the frame also. but now i've had a change of mind and wished i'd kept it and worked with it. same with the firewall. i put a bitchin firewall in and now i've grown a new appreciation for the look of the original one! oh well, i thought i would sell off the extra parts and recoupe some money, and while i did do that, i wish i would have slowed down a little. think about every step and look at lots of pics! have fun with that thing!

 

1955 Caddy 331

 

I hear ya on that, I'm pretty committed to the direction I'm heading in now. I'm sure some will hate it but oh well they not going to be driving it

 

a little overkill on the bracing, better safe than sorry

 

Rocket Launcher wheels for the front w 5.60 Firestones

 

Hoosiers for the rear

 

331 Caddy, Wilcap adapter, Mopar starter, S10 5 speed, (wrong bellhousing pictured oops)

 

Nice....headlights.

 

Knocked out some right and left handed threaded inserts/bungs for the 4 link I decided to just make them and save cost and time of modifying purchased ones

 

I need them that big for night driving

 

Looks like a great start.
Like the front wheel/tires.

 

THANK GOD!!! Someone who is not affraid to cut one up !!! Good job so far

 

Here is the start of my hair pin style radius rods

 

No frame or suspension yet, but I got a tranny mount started

 

Thanks, I ordered Rocket Injectors for the rear because of the 3" back space but they are on back order

 

id throw those rear tires in the trash can, unless your going for a totally rad gay long hair 80's look.

 

Ya I'm no purist, when people ask I say I'm going for a late 60s "influenced". I have to say "influenced" because some guys will stroke out over the use of newer parts and start picking it apart.. "If this car WAS perion correct you'd have flat head screws here and not philips.....blah blah"

 

I think you have a great start there. I have to ask though, why the hoosiers?

 

The passenger side headlight looks alot bigger than the driver's side...

 

" a little fun in the shop" lookin' like a whole lotta fun to me !! the car will be nice to play with too !!

 

Like the trans mount, Like the car, love the headlights, but not a fan of the rear tires. But, its your car, build what you like......

 

They are actually smaller than they look, can't run the drag slicks if I'm going to be driving it as much as I plan on driving it. If I dont like it once its together, its an easy change

 

I like your lift, brother.

 

Why not
I guess everyone hates em lol..I've had a lot of doubters on past builds and they have turned out good... and if "I" dont like it when its done, its an ez fix
