Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product.
T Thanks, I think I can make it all work. Thank God for the Hamb !
Nice build. $500 for the quarters? That's a good score. Missed out getting a rh quarter panel off Trade Me. ( NZ version of eBay). it was...
Thanks for the encouraging words. I know it won't be a totally correct model A when its done, but that's not the point of it. Looks like...
Thanks mate. I checked out your roadster build, yet another one I hadn't seen on here. Looks cool!
Looks great. That body is in really good nick
Wheeled it all outside for some perspective.
It's been a while since I've done any work on the A, last year had been a pretty rough year emotionally for me after my mother passed away, and...
That's a tidy body, one of the biggest hurdles I think. What a great start.
Well I hadn't even thought about that, thanks for the heads up!
Love it!
Cheers, if it turns out even half as nice as yours I'd be happy.
If they were both 30s I would definitely try and use them. My sheet metal skills are "developing" and Henry steel is nice to work with.
Cheers for that Nick. Some Brookville ones would definitely be the go, will use the ones I have to mock up dimensions for now. Much as I love...
Hi, I used a Chev Conrod on my A Tudor, with an HQ collapsible column. Sorry I don't have pics, but basically cut the gudgeon end off, made up a...
I'll probably use the ones I have for mocking everything up and save for some brookville ones. Looks like the "budget" just got blown
Great start!
Thanks, that's what I was thinking I might have to do. Good ones don't come up for sale very often down here, maybe I'll get lucky!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. I use the term "roadster" loosely. That's probably the least of my worries. . All part of the fun when building...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Well I finally got a bit of time to spend in the garage. After assessing the pile of parts I got, and throwing ideas...
Hi, after selling my A Tudor a couple of years ago, I've saved up some cash and bought up a few bits to start building my roadster. Early days...
Looks fantastic. Thanks for the detailed photos too.
Yeah was a good deal, had to sell due to time/ family commitments. Looking for coupe or roadster, whatever I can get really. Plan is just to...
Well, was a sad day indeed, the Tudor is now sold to free up some funds for other stuff. Ihave an empty garage and a somewhat empty heart...sob......
Nice job mate, thats a sweet old "coon"
Second that.
Got a rough coat of paint on now and a shiny new piece of glass in front! Just been for a ride, my hands and knees are still shaking, what a...
Just stumbled on this one. I like the understated looks, stance and chop just right.
That is one tidy Tudor, and what a beautiful part of the world you live in!
Nice work mate, looking really good!
