Hot Rods Curious: Who all's got Model A's in the works?

Damb, It seems like every body is building a "A"!! Well so am I, I will have some pictures posted as soon as I figure out how, these computers make me nervus!!

But here's a short description of it: 1929 model A Roadster pickup, no bed, no fenders, 4" channel, 4" step up out back, 500cid caddy engine, th400 tranny! Promiss to have pic's soon!!!

 

I just dropped my rails and X mems of to be media blasted on thurs, they where finished fri morn which floored me...

 

That is an awesome coupe, looks like a 46/48 ford frame to me...

 

My little "Trouble Maker" '30 pickup. Hope to be terrorizing the streets later this summer.

Here's mine, powered by a built banger.

That's HAMBer 4ever4 looking it over, wondering why he can't beat me...

 

My 31 Tudor last year. Banger power back then but currently getting a bit of an upgrade and losing some height. Ahem.

 

looks like everyone came out happy on that one.

 

mine

 

Rego day,


The 'Trunk'


It's had the screen on and off, sides added to the tray,

and soon an F100 s/box and a new head,
may yet end up with a chopped screen and raked posts.

Wouldn't mind a set of 16's for it either...

Outaback

 

Posted this car earlier in the thread back on 10-18. So here is a little up date.

 

Here's the boy. Just a smilin.

We have doing a BT style '28 Roadster. with a late flathead.

 

here is my latest A

 

this is my 29 coupe turned roadster. its on a 31 frame with a built 31 motor. right now the newest part on the car is the 33 crankshaft. i plan on putting a set of 35 wires on it and running it the way it is while i build another frame to swap my body onto.

 

Here's my future 31 Fenderless Highboy Cpe, with plans of a 4 inch chop and a 5 inch dropped front axel.... and modified rear springs to drop it 4 inch's and run the 16 inch wheels. It's running a warmed over Pinto motor, bolted to a 39 ford tranny, 48 hyd brakes, and the banjo rearend with taller gear's stuffed in it. Supprised me........it runs pretty strong.

 

Anyone have a line on a 28-31 Tudor sedan? I need a body only.

 

scored this shell a couple months ago .....just got a frame for ....take a little time to gather up the pieces.....hope to have it rolling in a couple months...brandon

 

Not the best pic but my tudor.

 

Just started a RPU on '32 rails project, not enough put together yet for photos.

 

The only thing Model A is the cowl.....The rest is backyard made

 

A Little update from this ..............


To this....



The purpose of this build is to have a functionally Fast Roadster on probably the tightest budget on the HAMB...!!!

 

I have the complete body for '29 Murray 4-dr sedan, complete with title. I would love to build a custom rear-engine with Buick V-6 or maybe an Ecotec and leave the front half of the car trad style with patina. But now I have no garage, no money, and no time. So, it just sits and I'm sitting here drooling over all of the fine Ford A-metal in this thread.

 

Just pulled this out of a barn today.It had the same owner for the last 50 years. The body will go on a deuce chassis with a nailhead

 

posted this nekid coupe on page one, 10-18-05

here is what it looked like 1-6-06

 

Heres mine... again

 

ME TOO ! ME TOO ! 30 coupe 8ba 39 trans 40 rearend 41 stude dash.chopped 5 inches Front end is from an old hot rod and the duece frame is from a old show car from the late 50's.
One of these days I will get to start on it.

 

just finished blasting and epoxy primer, long way to go.

 

Heres my 30' PU I just havent started yet. Figure I would get 52 roadworthy first.

 

This is my 31 roadster pickup. I cut down a 2-door sedan body to make the cab section, and built the box from scratch.

 

Working on a long term Model A project-'31 coupe, channelled, '51 flathead power and 41-'48 torque tube rear end. Two other model A's in the wings-'30 chopped and channelled pickup body with a bed and a '29 RPU body with the bed cut to 18 inches long. One bare frame and one frame with suspension and 265 chebbie and 3 speed. Also a merc flathead for one of the bodies. Maybe some day soon one will be together and running.

 

I have a 28 roadster pickup. No fenders, roof, bed. I think I am going to use quarter eliptic up front and coil over on the back. No picks yet. This will be a basic ride, no frills. I have to wait though, I need to sell my 40 Plymouth.
