Hot Rods FNG takes 1 for the team- A TUDOR

Drinks of me for this guy when he is out, just for attempting to straighten out the VW mess. Great looking project.

 

Nice ride.

Love the FNG firewall tag.

 

Is that a VW ashtray in the kick panel?

 

Yes it is, and I came clean about it a few pages back, LOL......

 

Ha ha just read that .. guess I should actually read the posts instead of just looking at the pictures LOL

 

I wasn't bustin' balls. Picture books are the only kind I read too.....

 

I hate the taste of vomit in my mouth,good save

 

I love the fact that the Cooler in the rear seat area is actually a cooler and not a cover for a fuel tank!

All you need now is a couple of Goldfish to swim past the site glass... hahaha!

 

You have indeed secured a place at the right hand side of the hot rod gods....amen!

 

Two thumbs up! It looks super.

 

Yes VERY nice looking A!

 

Thank God you were there to save this classic car. What kind of mad man does this kind of thing to such an iconic American classic.

 

I didn't like the tires/ sizes I had, so I changed them up with Diamondback smooth radial blackwalls.
165/ 80 15 front, 265/ 75 15 rear.

 

Believe it or not I've seen worse. Someone local has, or used to have, a short VW pan with 30-31 Model A sheetmetal on it in the guise of a roadster pickup (seems to be a cut up sedan body, it had closed car windshield posts) - the cowl on it is much further ahead than this car was set up, resulting in a too short hood and terrible proportions even though if I remember right the grille was hung in front of the torsion bars for the front.

No pictures, I didn't want my camera to self-destruct.

That car came out nice, but it looks like it was a decent body before the hack job so you got fairly lucky there.

 

Wow,,

The sedan is really nice and you have been working overtime,,excellent work! HRP

 

You did a great job saving that thing from its demise! Ain't nothing wrong with a SBC, especially one backed by a Muncie. Sweet hot rod!

 

A few "new" pictures after a long winter............

 

Man I love it when on old saved thread comes back to life even better than before. The car looks great, fantastic save.

 

Well.Now I`ve seen it all(maybe).I`ve seen Vdubs in Air boats,beach buggies,dune buggies,Vdub cars,home built AC,generator sets and I don`t know what all,BUT that takes the cake.Most excellent save.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
