Ford model A coupe build.

Very nice job so far....I would never have thought of making that into a coupe...I'll be watching this one for sure!!!

 

Great thread, I like your inspiration picture next to the clock.

 

Great build and pictures to show everything. Nice work!

 

Just wondering what the blue stuff is between the panels....and where can I get it.

I have o.c.d. about rusty sheetmetal.

I tend to cut it all out, then wait for the sheetmetal fairy to come and replace it

I doesnt work...

 

The body is built to fit right on this frame, the plans is to drive the coupe on stock chassie this year. Next year if I have time and inspiration I’m putting the coup on this frame with a new drive train.

Wow, nice job fixing that...

 

Hello again, now the welding almost done. Some minor things left to do, after this it’s time for the boring finish work before painting. Caddy-O I forget to read on the can but I will do next time I’m in the garage, but it is some welding primer my friend use. It’s some Volvo product; I will check the part number, not cheap.

AH the smell of burning beeswax on a warm shaping paddle. Great to see some real lead work on a car. Keep up the good work.

What? No chop?

Actually, very impressive, chop or not.

Are you going to run a banger at first?

 

wow a tru god damn artist give this guy a round of aplause this thing is looking great ..

where did you get all the qurters and the lower filler peices from ....or did you make em..

 

awesome! make me want to get off my ass and keep going with mine!

 

Hii

Thanks for all responses! Nothing much happens at the moment with the coup, as we have a short summer here in Sweden we just put some primer on it and parked it in the barn. Hope to keep up the work when the winter arrives, regarding chopping the roof or not I haven't decided yet. My plans are to drive it un chopped and with the banger until my next chassis is done, perhaps I know then if I will chop it. All sheet metal is fabricated in the garage by my friend; you can see picks of some of his tools in the tread. Promise to update when I start with the coup again.





Regarding the quarter panels / floor / and all new sheet metal on this A its home made except for the sub rails. I think it shouldn’t be any problems for my metal man to fix this also but I had this laying around. He has built a 28 roadster just out of metal except for the cowl and front fenders, but the front fenders were in real bad shape. I have sent picks of this before, but here they are again.
