    Probably not though

    Before everyone unloads... engine color is not staying nor are the lovely red and blue fittings, scoop and carbs will go eventually when I feel like sending the money on some crazy fuel injection up there

    I'll tell you what I haven't smiled this big in a while, definitely feels like my favorite hotwheels all over again. I just dropped it in today for a quick check on front end weight be coming out for the car to get painted in a couple of weeks.

    I wondered what it would look like through the windshield sitting inside the car. Bitchin' to say the least. I love windshield shots. Thanks for the pics.

    Look AWESOME. Ditch the aforementioned stuff and you'll have a winner for sure.

    BTW, use at LEAST grade 8 hardware on that low mount alternator bracket. The lower bolt is in shear and I've seen them break off inside the block. Good hardware is cheap insurance against a real pain in the ass

    This is a 30-31 Model A Coupe.
    The last Model A in US production rolled off the line on Oct 31,1931.

    If you aren't going to clean the metal before you weld it, then I guess the roll-cage is just for looks and not function:

    [​IMG]Is this a finished weld ??

    No this is not finished. This was for fab/fitment process. Cage will come out and be Tig welded and reinstalled in three pcs and then the last few welds will be made.

    Regardless if it WAS just for looks wouldn't it be more than a tack?

    It's definitely Hot Wheels!
    With the chromed suspension I'd gather its gonna be a show car.
    What is your expected driveability?

    when it comes to engine theres no such thing as "overdone" or "too big" !! It's like Dicks, "if it too big don't use it all"!!lololol
    Thats why they put a gas pedal in a car

    Driveability should be excellent. I drove the car for the last 6-7 months at least 3 times a week making several long trips. The chassis drives great very comfortable ride. The new motor will be a medium tune to preserve streetability. The only problems will be

    A. fuel mileage
    B. cops pulling me over, never got messed with before in the car, but the motor in the fiel of vision I think is going to get me fucked with more than anything
