    Roughly 4 years ago I started gathering parts for a model a roadster. Word got out and next thing I know, I had a bunch of Model a stuff.
    The roadster is a 28-29 it was my first attempt to building an early Ford.
    Well, with that car done (mostly) I went into the spare parts pile and realized that I had a bunch of 30-31 parts left over.
    So, I decided to look around for some more goodies to put a coupe together.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    [​IMG][​IMG]most of my parts are pretty crispy and I still need to get more but this is a good start. Looking for better coupe doors and trunk, front and rear suspension, and more drivers side quarter pieces. I have half of a model a frame but I have a lead on some new 32 rails. We'll see. . .

    Just think in a few years when it is a done and shiny a Restorer will tell you "You destroyed a Model A that could have been restored" :confused::confused::confused: Good luck, will be following the build. Bob

  9. Do you want to sell the Wide Five Stockcar wheel behind the coupe?

  29. I know of a few guys in N.H. that take the bull by horns and start with worse than that and turn them into fantastic rides.
