    I am impressed with this build. I would have added doors instead of welding the tub to the cowl, but working with what you have it's coming along nicely. Also, good luck finding a "cheap" Model A roadster windshield. It may be laying next to a unicorn! :)
     
  3. hehe, thx :) about the doors, there will be a door on the pasenger side later on.. but im stil young. and the seasond starts soon.. have to be on the road :) a door can be made later on! :)
    And yes, the windsheild will be hard to find.. :)

    Tip: Add return springs at all brake levers outside the backing plate. I learned that one from a 1953 issue of Popular Mechanics.

    Get on it, she what she'll do. I cruise 70 on the freeway all day. The only difference is I got taller rear tires. Coupes & Roadster do come with better freeway gears, which you could count by how many driveshaft rotations for 1 drum/wheel rotation or put it in 3rd at count crank rotations for 1 wheel rotations.

    FYI: The steering does feel like that, just don't let it drive you, use 2 hands. Spray some WD40 under the steering wheel, the shaft gets sticky there.
