    Awesome!

    The best part of that video is the girly hand clap & "yaaaay" combo!

    "Yaaaayyyy!"

    The spindles are not 37-48 they look like 32-34 to me. Look at the steering arm on the left side for the drag link.

    chevygirl you do rock...............that front end moves your wheel base inboard, thats why the drag link is shortened.....do the wheels look centered in the fenderwells?

    wow!!! great video......when i fired my pops model a, after many years in a barn, you should have seen how much straw and news paper came roaring out of the tail pipe,and then the sweet sound of the 4 banger at idle.
    looks good and great plans congrats

  20. Megan, congratulations. Nothing like starting up a hibernating banger and going for the first ride! Have a great time with it.

  22. Megan,
    Congratulations! Neat, Neat, NEAT Model A!!
    Hey, I got a tip for you. When, (not if) you decide to relocate that battery, use BIG, Heavy battery cables! Especially if you leave it 6-volt! I would highly suggest '00' welding cable and have the ends soldered on. 6-volt doesn't overcome the resistance due to length nearly as well as 12-volt. Been there, done that (with a T-speedster).
