*Pics* Model A build-lookout Chopperman!!

Changed screens in aircleaners...I know youre waiting on front-end pics, but....an arm had to be redone....maybe Sat.

Oh...and I got a few pics back from a shoot we did with it in mock-up

 

Didnt get the chrome arms back yet, so no front end up...but I mounted the spindels. and did a little body work.

 

Oh yeah and my secret Model A package tray!

 

I may have asked this before, but are you in Pasadena, Texas? You're doing a great job, and that chrome work is nice!

 

Im in Sunny Pasadena, California....everyone get those two cities mixed up!..And thanks...Im working really hard to make this coupe stand out in a crowd.
I think I have to turn my bomb-sight over to Evil instead of chopperman though...he is driving his already!

 

Your coupe is looking really good. It is really first class. Too bad it won't be at Paso though....

 

Dude, that car rules. Certain people stand out in the crowd and you are definately one of them.

 

I get my clutch tom!!!! and get to pick my excess chrome up so this week sounds like its gonna be productive!!!

 

No clutch...McLeod is being difficult! But my chrome guy says by this weekend! Saposta get tires tom too...THANKS Coker!! Been blazing away at sanding the body for final primer! Its comming along...pics tom!

 

Got a few things done this week....mostly body work...Im at a stand still with the chassis. Chrome went back again, so no front end...But Coker got me my tires (thanks HAMB alliance!) and I started bolting stuff to the motor for break in...I really wanna hear this thing purr.

 

A few more body pics

 

is the firewall reversed?

 

Yeah..it is.

 

This one is nice, mines is almost there. Great attention to the details.

 

loving all the detailed lightening holes on the K member, alt, etc... very cool details

 

Yeah...I like holes...yeah definately holes...yeah ...the more holes the better!

 

Hell of a nice job, I want one

 

So heres the update....Ive been slowing down, just waiting on chrome. Got the rear wheels painted and mounted (pics soon to follow!) but my main concern is hearing this caddy running! Ive been bolting/hanging all the esentials off the block to get it running...Sundays the lucky day. Ill try and get videa of it up! if it runs! hahaha

 

Not too much done...body work takes forever!! Chrome still at the chromers...Started the motor yesterday...but Im sick as a dog. So hopefully next week!
Motor after start up

Back tires, wheels and part of the hubcaps

 

outstanding job so how much channceld and chopped?

 

Chopped 5 1/2 inches and channeled 6 inches...

 

very nice work on that "A" model !!

 

Went and saw my chrome guy today and says my chromes not done....and one of hisfamily members died and theyre closing for the next week!!! Damn!!!! Oh well I still got lotsa body work to do, but these next pics are gonna look like I did anything

 

gorgeous...

 

damn that's nice

 

Nice work!

The generator mount concerns me a little. When the belt is on and you squeeze it together (the belt) does the generator flex much??

 

Great thread. Thanks for the updates!

 

Wow, you´re doing a great job on this car, awesome! Please keep us updated!
Chris

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks for all the great words guys...its what keeps me going....Ive been at this project for almost a year and a half. Im working my butt off on this thing and hopefully making the HAMB proud. Im still shooting for the GNRS as my finish date. Maybe Mooneyes Xmas show.... I got alot of work still ahead, but Im looking forward to getting this thing on the road. Thanks again
