Tony is busy assembling...

 

That aluminum polisher does EXCELLENT work!

 

Yow! That is nice !

 

^ (Alchemy) My thoughts exactly. I was blown away when I saw those photos.

 

You ain't kidding. I dread to think how many hours went into those pieces. Apparently the guy has been doing it for, unless I misheard, 30 years.

The body has been cut and buffed and is going onto the frame Sunday morning...then down to mikeyseats.

 

Body mounted to frame and off to interior.

D(etroit) minus 33 days...

I 'blee you mean....Detroi T-minus 33 days.

Gonna be sharp!!

 

Yep, I had a brain fart, no excuse...

 

I might have to head to Detroit just to check this out !

 

If you do be sure to let me know. Would be nice to put a face to an avatar/username.

 

When your driving this car you will be so glad you bit the bullet and had it built correctly and to a standard.
Great build and enjoy the journey.Model A headlights on a Model A,it's not rocket surgery is it,good call..

 

Sneak peek...seat done, mikeyseats is on to the panels.

 

Seat looks great. He does FAST work!

 

Looking good Wex

 

Oh Gawd, those carb tops are unreal! All of this since September? I hate you

 

Thanks, those tops were a bitch to track down. I ended up buying an expensive full intake setup for a flathead and replacing the three SPs it had and reselling it. Those three ended up costing me a total of $250 for the lot! Paid about $100 a piece for the other three. Now, I see them going for like $300 - $400 EACH, just nuts. The polisher did a super job in polishing everything. The concept is a fairly bright, clean engine, nothing to distract. Then, at the back a splash of red from the rebuilt Spalding, thanks to Jim Linder over at Bubbas.

Easy to make this much progress when to be fair I am only in charge of tracking down hard to find parts and making decisions in terms of look/components. The real work is down to the dream team, Bob Hilton, Tony Lombardi (Engine), @Mikeyseats (Interior), North Jersey Kustoms (Paint) and Relicate Leather (Leather). I am a big believer in giving full credit to those that do the work.

 

^^^^Simply beautiful in all respects^^^

 

Trunk detail...

 

Oh my! That is sweet!

 

Super NICE! Looking forward to seeing it in color. Wish I could make it to Detroit.

Ryan.
