29 A build

hope you guys can stomach some pics of a stock resto, was my grandfathers first car and driven till 57 he wanted it restod back to stock , he has been gone for about 15 yrs now so better get my ass back in gear,

 

hers one more

 

Looks like a blind back, cool car. Are you going all stock like your dad planned or are you going to soup up that banger?

 

What a great heirloom, good on you for bringing it back to life!

 

all stock , it is sort of like a blind back but if I remember right the b-back was like a 6window town sedan xcept the third window was covered in steel this is a standard fordor so the body is shorter if you compare the two u will see what I am try to day

 

trying to say not try to day sorry

 

The old sedan deserves to be brought back,,,but if your just going to restore it and no traditional hop ups you might be better off posting on the Ford Barn,,the site is geared more toward restoration. HRP

 

Don't understand the body on it. Has 29 firewall, but the cowl and the rest of the thing screams something else.

 

Don't suppose it could be a realllly late 29, and just missed being called a 30?

 

I visit fordbarn everyday just thuoght some would like to see a rarer body style

 

fuel tank is stamped 1 29 29 or 1 20 29

 

goto fordbarn.com click on the link moelA/AA sites then click on bodystyles and scroll down to 60b

 

Does the gas tank drop down from the inside?

 

I'd love to see this progress as a stock ride. Subscribed...

 

Sure looks like a 30 28 and 29 had a differant style of body band profile they where flat allso the front cowl had a one inch or so recess

 

It appears to be a '29 Briggs Model 60C Steelback Fordor

 

Yes, 1929 blindback and Briggs body style

 

I would agree with you and some of the other posters. The runners and cowl look like a '30, but if the vehicle says '29...?

 

actually tou have to push it up and in then side brackets hold it up not that easy to place

 

Model A 101, 29 Briggs bodies have a body line very similar to 30-31 Model A's (but not the same or interchangable), but use the 28-29 style tank inserted underneath and the 28-29 style firewall. Briggs also built cabriolets of the same style in 29.
