    My 1929 model a when I first seen it. It was tucked away in a garage about a mile from the house. The car was in the guys family since the 40s and was last registered in the 70s

    Good score, I love the Tudors, great body style and the back seat is comfortable.

    keeping an old car inside a building is very good for the car

    I'm pretty sure using a cat as a kickstand is considered animal cruelty.

    Im planning on keeping it the way it is for now and just drive it. Then later on I want to do it up like a old hot rod and build up the 4 cylinder a little bit. The green challenger is my buddies. Theres 2 of them in there along with a 68 charger

    Damn, that is in great shape. Get some oil on the body and drive the hell out of it. Gently of coarse.

    Yea it's really solid. It does have 2 holes in the running boreds but that's it and there not even that bad. I was surprised when I put it on a lift to check out everything that all the wood was even in good shape

    ???? Bonnie and Clyde were driving a 1934 when they died in Louisiana
     
  23. Got fluted headlight lens. I think those were 28- early 29. Check the fender braces to see if their forged. Also the license plate holder is not correct for a Model A.

    Yeah i saw that to, wish these movie guys would get car guys involved in verifying period correct cars. Seems like every movie based on the past has some screwed up deal with the cars.
     
  28. I like it,also like the idea of a old style build. HRP

    Thanks. Though about the whole rat rod idea until I got a good look at the car and realized that its way to solid to chop up. The car sure gets a lot of looks while driving it. Im only 25 and I have people saying that there surprised to see someone young driving something like that
