I'm guna piss everyone off with this build

This is my 1931 Model A coupe as of today.

I'm out there, working in the sun all day thinking, everyone is going to hate this rod. The DFW Model A guys won't like the 4.3L V6. Or the '68 fairlane 8 inch with Dirty's custom ladder bars (thanks Rusty). Or that I'm going to run the body in bare metal.

The hot rod guys won't like the small motor, or the 700R4, or the cheesy spray-on "vinyl" top (admit it, I'm not the only one that's done this), or the original stance with a buggy spring and original wire wheels and fenders.

But, at this time, this is the way it's gunna be. And I am going to enjoy the hell out of it!

 

thats the only way to do it


i like baremetal

 

Yep, you're right.

 

Damn nice coupe...it's probably the restorers you're going to piss off!

 

Sounds like its setup to drive.

 

4.3!? out of a s-10? i love s10s! haha

 

John Goodman builds Hotrods???
Just kidding. Looks like a fun build...

 

Bob.........your in rare form tonight

 

Your idea on bare metal will look great & I love pissin off the resto snobs, but I'm a LOT lazier than you... I'da left the paint alone- too much work... .

 

Ain't botherin' me none. In fact I like it better than purple!

Are you going to pull the rear fenders?

 

Awesome.......go for it.

 

wire brush will take a while, flap discs work really well. 60 grit

 

"this is the way it's gunna be. And I am going to enjoy the hell out of it!"

Amen brother!

 

Dan,
It's YOUR rod, do what ever in the hell you want to do with it.
If someone dont like it, offer to sell it to 'em for $80,000
so they can "do it right"

Bob,
I gota healthy suspicion that quite a few people who would be
considered "celebrities" cruze the hamb under assumed names.

A healthy suspicion indeed...

 

do your own thang go for it , but that hat ........

 

indeed

 

the fenders will stay on. Front fenders and running boards back on too.

 

Do you need help? I hate restorations!

 

You pissed me off when you said you were working in the sun and than take a picture wearing a t-shirt.I'm from Pa.It aint warm here yet.Other than that nice piece,build it like you want to and enjoy it.

 

Shit now I'm going have to chang my name!!!

 

Great attitide and even better coupe. I'm not pissed.... more like envious

s.

 

That looks like a nice body...no ... the car. What was wrong with that paint?

 

I hope juice brakes for the front are in the game plan. 4.3 w/OD looks great with today's gas prices. Those hard skinny tires will help, too. Cool car, keep colorin' outside the lines!

 

hell i wish i could pull the 200 V6 out and drop in a 4.3 in my uncles 29 RP. they fit run great. make good drivers and don't cost much. looking good man

 

Who gives a shit what everyone else thinks! it's yours and if you like it drive the tires off it!! I think with the price of fuel it is a great idea. I got more people asking me why I stuck a MBZ diesel drivetrain in my 48 Chrysler and I just say I LIKE IT!!

 

Hey Rodhotz,
You running that MB on D#2 or veggie oil?

 

sweet! i like em either way. it's not like your ruining it.


the only thing i'm pissed about is how clean that body is. JESUS!

post more pics please.

 

Hat is O.K. but thoses white sportshoes ......but I believe that's an american thing...

Have fun!
