I found Volume II used online for $35, it’s on the way. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the tips, I’ll check those sources and see what I can find. My car is definitely not a restoration. Who knows, it might eventually end...
I know this has probably been asked in the past but is anyone aware of the availability of templates or drawings of the body wood for a 30/31...
I haven't posted in quite awhile but I have a question for the experts here. I've been collecting parts (mostly rusty junk) for quite a while. I...
I thought this thread had died, at least for awhile. I've collected quite a bit more stuff for my pile and hoped to have a good update when I get...
Thanks Smitty, so if I get myself a really clean cowl for my project and it happens to be for a 2-dr sedan or pickup instead of for a coupe, I...
I know this subject has come up multiple times but I haven't really found the answer. Does anyone know the best way to identify a Model A cowl to...
Lots of good info to consider, thanks for all the replies. 28A, I especially appreciate the long and detail response you took the time to give...
I've been collecting some parts for a '30/'31 Ford Coupe AV8 project. I've located 3 main components for my project and am wondering what all the...
I just got a blown out Model A, I'd rather have what you got. It'll be a cool project.
This is a great post. Thanks.
I agree with 38Chevy454. You should see the absolute pile of parts I'm starting my project with. One of my doors is a door with the top cut off...
Thanks to everyone for all the replies, tips, leads, etc. I ended up getting a very nice panel from a HAMBer here in Florida that was extremely...
Awesome build. I think it looks great. I really liked the glass doorknob shifter. That's a cool touch. K.C.
The panel that started this whole thread can be seen still attached to the left quarter panel. I don't think there's much there to save. The right...
I drove up and picked up that pile of Model A parts on Sunday. Here are some pictures of what I got. Sorry for the crappy pictures, I used my...
I don't know if its inspiration or false confidence, maybe a little of both. After seeing some of the stuff you guys have built from, I...
I went and looked at those parts last night. They were pretty rough. There was a cowl, a drivers door, a right side quarter in fair condition, a...
Very cool. A little ventilation would be good. I'm taking off now to go check out those parts. Hopefully there's enough there to make it worth buying.
Thanks for the pics. The parts I'm going to look at are not quite as rough as the one you drug up from the riverbank, but the one you found has a...
Your yard art might be a better starting point than what I'm looking at but reasonable cost Model A bodies are hard to come by in central Florida.
So I guess maybe the next move is to post a "WTB" listing in the parts section or pass on the coupe parts.
This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know a source or know a good way of fabricating the rear window/roof panel for a '30/'31 Model A...
Hi, I've been reading this site for years but have never joined because I didn't have a rod or a rod project. Today I took the plunge (more like...
