  1. Thought you folks might like to see the difference in a before and after of my friend Dan's Model A roadster. I think it came out great! What do you think?

    Looks like a Banjo wheel from Flaming River. They ship with the protective cover. I left mine on to protect the leather during the build then tossed it.

    Sweet roadster !! I love the flathead. Not to nit pick, but I think I'd come up with something to replace the white, plastic M/C reservoir.

    Yea but it's a lot slower now...
     
  13. Thanks for the replies, guys. I just wanted to know if it fit the HAMB bill. He isn't quite done with it and I am going to try to convince him to change out the white clutch slave cylinder for something more subdued. And yes, I realize it's a dangerous question, but since it's not my car....
     
  14. Definitely an improvement

    Er... HRP, that was a SBF, not a SBC, that got replaced by a flathead but I suspect that the flathead will not even compare to the SBF... at least not until he adds the fuel lines to the carbs! :D
    Still can't believe HRP can't tell sbc from sbf... what is the world coming to?:rolleyes:

    Looks good, bobbed the rear fenders would be my preference, but it's not my car.
