    Ok, let's see how quickly this gets answered, I'm expecting less than an hour :D

    My friend (UK artist and bodyman extraordinare) Paul Barrow bought a Model A sedan body back in '98 when he visited me in Atlanta, GA and I was brand new here myself then so I have no idea who he bought it from - but today I found pictures of a car at the place where he bought it.

    I'm assuming this RPU was owned by the same guy who sold Paul his A..any ideas? Love to re-visit and talk shit with whoever this was!

    and here's Paul's A as it was then. I've seen it since and I don't know if it's gone public yet but it's finished and stunning now..see a rendering here

  2. I've never seen it. A town or county may help.

    Yeah, I wish I could remember. I was new in this country and didn't know the area at all. Just followed directions without knowing where I was going. If I had to guess I'd say somewhere on the west-side (your side, right?) like mableton. No idea why I think that though, so could be way off.

    Just hoping that someone would recognise it..
     
  4. I remember seeing that pickup,,,seems like the last time I saw it was at one of the North Atlanta Rod Runs,,,but that was a long time ago,,,,HRP

    He is a buddy of mine, his name is Brad Davis. He lives in Snellville near Stone Mtn. The truck still looks the same, but has cheater slicks on it now.

    Awesome, thanks Jason! Is Brad on here?

    Well, let him know that his old A sedan got built into one of the top UK rods (IMO :D)

    Wasn't even close with my Mableton guess :eek:
