Bought Model A Coupe(forgot to tell "ask" wife

Tell her you bought it for her!Nice car by the way

 

Pussys. lol I never have to ask and don't. That's why you see me with scores now and then. Grow some balls dudes!

 

What's that saying....
It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission in the first place.

 

Thats a stunning model A and flathead WLA. Both of which are on my list of things i want in my shed. Where did you find the Model A? Over east did you say?

 

Wow time gets away, been a lot of progress though.I'll bring this thread up to date over the next few day's.

Here's the first step,only keeping the top 1/2.

 

Used the bottom 1/2 to try and jump start "Hammered30's" coupe but it's a lemon and still wouldn't go

 

Found a 34 front axle and had Gary Page drop it for me,he did a real nice job.Sent it plus the 409,a tko 600 and a 1957 diff housing to Ian Ellison at Lilow Autotech for him to work his magic.
He sent back a rolling chassis that is a shame to cover up..if your looking for rails or chassis work check out his site.

 

Chassis looks great...

 

Liking it!

 

Ha I'm laying tile and painting every room I'm my house. Rpu is on hold.

 

Two cars = kitchen AND bathroom

 

Next stop was body to Ed Parker's,he is building the rest of the rod and is bloody great.

firewall recessed..

 

Looks great mate, Bucketmouth took me to Ed's once and his work looked great!

 

Ed replaced and remade back sections and boot lid and boot floor.Fitted tailights and ran brakelines.

 

G'day Pete.He just finished a 34 pickup thats real sweet.got a great eye for it..

 

Glad to be single.

 

Been collecting the SW Greenline original guages for a while so they went in.Ed reworked the original column drop,made the panel for the ignition key,put in the floor and turned the gear stick.

 

I'm not sure if your asking me or telling about yourself rusty.

 

Rusty steel replaced and roof chopped..

 

Looks like things are coming along nicely but I always get confused when a see the steering wheel on the right side of the car.

 

It's allright when there on the right side but hard when they're on the wrong side..

 

Whacked some holes in the visor,welded in the roof from a Falcon and made some headlight mounts..

 

LOVE how your coupe is coming together. The 409 is awesome. Thank you for not putting just another SBC in such a sweet ride!

 

Looking really good. Love the 409.

 

Honey it is an investment...

I always said, "Guess what I bought you Hon ?? She ended up owning more guns in our gun cabinet than I did and more cars & pu than me. We always laughed when I'd come home with that greeting. Then we'd go out to the Red Lobster.
Three months ago I lost my gal to cancer so now they don't mean much. I've already sold some items.
Have as much fun as you can with your family, they're so precious.
God Bless

 

Sorry to hear of your loss,my condolences.

 

looking good mate . have you made your mind up on the wheels yet?
