Finally got started on another project. 1930 model A on 32 rails. Seems like we are making progress super fast with this being a pre fab frame this time and not all hand made. Took me a probably a couple of months to get to where I got in 1 night on this one. Here's my T I did in about 6 months and also the new project
Well... "You can take the man out of the sedan, but you can't take the sedan out of the man..." Seriously, Dustan... there's a whole world out there!
Haha I want a coupe on 32 rails for me but I am helping someone build this car it's not mine. Excited the get the rear end stuff all tacked in there and set the body on. I want to see what it looks like
Need to figure out some different rear shock mounts and hairpin mounts to take down the rear to where I want it but here's what we did this morning.
Today we totally redid the whole rear end setup to get the car low. We mounted the hairpins to the frame with bungs and I love how they turned out.
Thank you,I'm pretty happy with the progress already. Sucks doing all of the rear end stuff twice but it was worth it. Looks much better now.
Thanks, I like where it's at too. I need to get the body where it needs to be and make the body mounts. Then I can get the engine and trans mounted and see where it puts the front. According to my T with the same axle it should get about 3" lower with the weight. Assuming this reverse eye spring drops it another inch over my T
No progress on the car tonight but my awesome girlfriend surprised me with a new toolbox.Im so used to my 58" snap on at work so having a small box at home sucked. Starting to organize.
Also if anyone has a leftover girlfriend who buys toolboxes as surprise gifts I would be interested in such a rare collectors item
I dont't want to steal this thread but I felt compelled to show you what I'm building......guess what? Gary
He said where the frame came from but he did not say what the Christmas present for the girlfriend would be.....
Smart man takes care of his woman!!!! First time worked 7 years and second is almost 38. I learned a little.
32 grille shell and radiator came in. The grille insert is on back order but I already like it. Is just clamped there with vice grips so I could see how it looks.
You probably already figured it out, but make sure you paint that radiator black so it will not "shine" thru the grill insert like a new penny. Coming right along!
