Projects The Wade Model A Coupe: Build Thread & Photo Journal

That Dash turned out killer! Nice merger! What did you decide about the gauge layout? Symmetrical, or "semi-symmetrical"?

 

Nah, bass is for minitruckers. What you've got here is a hybrid...

 

Stop copying my use of the word Merger! Anyways we're talking about Highs Mids and Lows with Montel Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" bumping over the sounds of the Hemi.

 

But were will he put his gloves??

Looks awesome man!

And I read it "The bitches love BASS"

 

Thinking about shit-canning the speedo and just running the tach.

I lean more towards N2Deep's "Back to the Hotel"...gotta let my tweeters tweet that saxophone yo!

 

I suppose he will put them on his hands.

 

I always like the idea of just the tach like they do in old grand prix cars or even cooler when the guys used to run on the lakes and only had a tach with a piece of paper taped to the dash showing them what speed they were going at a given rpm.

I've only got a tach going in my '33. Besides that I'll do two temps (one for each head in the 59a) oil pressure, and fuel pressure.....this is all depending on whether I can find the rest besides the tach.

 

damn

 

No kidding. But that is becoming common place on Brian's threads.

 

Wow, your build is off the scale, and you fab work , dude its no wonder your customers keep you busy. Amazing project, originality, and insane fab work, makes me feel like I build mine on sesame street!

 

It's a common saying that there's no such thing as originality. Well, there's just so much originality dripping from this car. Great work!

Oh, how about them hood sides? Will they clear the Hemi?

 

Have to chime in with the rest of the group, dash is killer (and so it everything else)...Jim

 

Made a new shift lever...loosely inspired by '59-'60 Impala 4 speed shifters with a little early Ferrari mixed in...but made from an orig. Model A shifter.

This car is so damn small that the lever has to pretty much wrap around your right leg.

 

man.....NEW LEVEL......I'm not worthy to view this.......

 

i just went through all 39 pages. I am speechless. This is unbelievable. The skill you have an the attention to detail is jaw-dropping. I only wish I could do something like this. Great work Bass.

 

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Is it just me or does the guy in the yellow hat look like a young Ryan Cochran?

 

No dizzoubt.

 

Mr. Bass, AWESOME BUILD!!
This is like great sex.......ya hope it never ends!
THANKS for all the pics and info. You are a true master.
cw.

 

Well said Dude!

 

Damn!!....this just keeps getting better & better.....nice job Bass.

Wow! Forgot about that old song--according to itunes, 20 years old!
.....but I can't believe I just used SHAZAM on a thread on the HAMB!
Now I got it downloaded...krazy!
Thanks to the guy that posted the video...I guess....!!!

 

BENCH MARK= Brian Bass!! ~sololobo~

 

I really enjoy viewing your builds.
Your quality of design,fabrication and workmanship
is exceedingly high.
Great inspiration and something to aspire to.
It would be an honor to meet you and shake your hand.

 

incredible workmanship... quality ... ingenuity... and forethought Brian.... it shows it is what you have in your head and soul..to build as you do... rather than in your wallet.... thanx again for inspiring all of us here.....

Roy

 

WOW !!!!! SO MUCH TALENT!!!!! THINK SOME OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!

 

Wow!

 

WTF???.......I seriously watched that whole video, with the volume down waiting to see the goods....boy do I feel sheepish......LOL

 

What are you talking about? The goods are right at the beginning and go straight through! I been bumpin that sheezit for a week.

 

Here's a series of photos showing the changes to the cowl and firewall, the cowl bracing, and the steering box mounts.

Most of this is pretty self-explanatory, so the I'll keep the captions to a minimum.

Old patch panels were poorly installed, to say the least:







Shortened the beltline ala the Lynn Yakel Coupe...
