Justin's 1930/1 Model A Roadster build thread

Also picked up these Guide headlights today, old chrome. Might run em on this car, if not , the next one.

 

Very nice solution to the column drop, keep it going!

 

awesome car, love the colum drop

 

That is a great drop/gauge bracket, good job Justin. Hey go tell Ed to hurry up and get his running so you guys can race around the neighborhood.

 

Hell ya we'll be tearin these streets up

 

The piston drop/ gauge console looks great! Not to be "that guy" but with the single bolt at the top won't the column have the potential to swing? Seems like it would need two points...
Anyway, nice work for sure.

 

yeah youre right, and that was an after thought of mine too. Still workin it out! stay tuned.

 

Could you just make a small plate that would go on the inside of your plate/guage combo that welded to the rod (hidden behind) with the same contour as tank and combo plate to steady the column? That is a nice looking touch!

 

Been slowly accumulating these types of aircraft/ U.S. Military gauges to use on the roadster, today I picked up some more..

 

Great looking build ...

did you just bolt these on there or weld them also?> i just bolted mine on and i was ok with that..

 

I didn't end up liking the first one, so i made a new column drop. Its made from the bottom section of a Model A steering coulumn. I like this one much better.

 

I'm just bolting them to the rear end, Probably no need to weld.

 

That new column drop looks killer! Although the piece you made for the gauge looks awesome too.

 

This is what they made on mine too clear long ago
