lets see your favorite model-A s

Feb 1967 R&c has a 29 sports coupe on the front cover. I think it was one of the most bitchin coupes around.

anyone out there able to scan the article, and post it here?

 

right now the one i have been spending the most time with is my favorite..wish it was done......still building...heheh..nice rear wheel aint it?

 

My favorites hands down.

 

Lindross, that top one is a Chevy

 

I guess I'll toss mine in, I'm going to put a shoehorn in the cab to help myself get in

 

Oooops. Fixed it. I even followed that build and still overlooked that.

 

Scott - do you have any more pix of that '29 pickup... especially the front end?

thanks

I've been driving this one 10 or 12 years thru 3 states.
The original engine has been balanced and has fresh babbit, a new bore with a hi performance Bill Stipe cam, and a 7:1 Lion speed head and 12 volt, one wire alternator, and Pertronix ignition.
I am building a stainless steel header which will use 2 SU carburetors.
Exhaust will be stainless and straight through to the back bumper, no muffler.
The transmission is a fully synchronised 3 speed with overdrive.
The brakes are 1940 brake drums with 2" shoes and self energizing, self adjusting 75 chev parts on 1939 Lincoln backing plates.
I got rid of the useless rumble seat and now have a nice useable trunk with a dropped floor.
The metal insert in the roof has been fitted so that the original weltline is visible.
The front axle is dropped, the rear spring has been re-arched to lower it.
The steering box bushing has been replaced with needle bearings and a grease seal.
The 16" tires on powder coated rims are only one inch wider than the original 19's but were made for the all-electric RAV4. They were designed for low rolling resistance and long life and have the benefits of being steel belted radials.

 

i like it alot...sweet 32 frame

 

BTTT - anyone got this article???

I just spent an hour going thru this thread.Some great cars here.
Some of my favorites:

 

Still wondering if this guy and the pick up are still around anywhere? This appeared in R&C 's readers rides section in the mid 90's.

 

Texas drag racer Bobby Knighton (Motor Rico)

 

I'm partial to sedans, heres mine

 

Looks like a 32 to me......

 

Possibly a '32 Chevy by the looks of the front windshield surround.

 

Here's a 28 Sport Coupe I built in 1980 originally with a V6, rebuilt it in 1983 with a stroker 383, and sold it in 1985. We looked up the guy we sold it to (in 2005) and he let us take it for a spin .
Consequently, we are now building a 30 Cabriolet.!! Wifes' orders!!

 

Nice coupes I have one I just sold now I am building a 34 ford pickup check'em out. Be Good Andy

 

Who could forget Bellino Bros.Rocky&Mike from Cleve.1964 Winternats Champs.Mine Before & After!!!

 

Here's mine, a labor of love to build, but as a favorite I dunno, man what a thread. Some of these cars are unreal! Bias plys coming in April at Charlotte autofair. Love the pics guys keep em coming!

 

I love fendered and chopped sedans...but those wheels need to go!
