Just tossing up some pix of my current (and last) project. 1930 Model A. Forgive some of the pictures. Some good, some not so good. What I started with. Fresh barn find. Pix after me and my son figuring out the chop. (3") Stripped to bare metal, chop done, roof back in place. Visor mounted.
Progress. New Frame. Can't find the pictures of it in bare metal. Here are a few installing the new suspension components.
Wheels and tires. These were tuff to do. Decided to paint them and the weather decided to be hard on my son. 90+ in the mid-day sun. He was literally running around the wheels in circles trying to keep the paint flowing as it dried almost instantly. Haha
Some more of the body. New wood installed. Some reinforcing framework in the floor and trunk for the fuel tank and the firewall painted.
How she sits atm. Going to pull it back apart (partially) and get it to my friend to finish up the last of the bodywork and then shoot it with some nice shiny black. Things didn't go together as quickly as I had hoped, so not gonna get a ride before the snow flies. It should be ready to roll soon as winter is over. Thanks for the nice comments.
Thanks for all the nice comments. Sorry about not updating sooner. Got it all finished up except for interior. Rich B, the tires sizes, rear- L 78/15 , front- 560/15. Impalamike...I am running a ford 9" with 2:75 gears. Here are some pictures as it sits now.
