Pulled the trigger on the next one

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

4,849,340 Model A's were built between '28-'31.

Pull the fenders off, chop the top and drop a Hemi in it. Don't f*ck around, do it right!

x2! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one! My vote definitely goes to an early hemi

Very Cool ride Jay...Have fun.

I kind of like it the way it is now too. Is that a Ford next to the second last pic with the dent?

Dennis;I think it's a '70-2 Buick Skylark. Hard to tell from even the first pic.

Did find the vin on the frame and they actually match the title for a change.

There's plenty of Hot Rod parts for the old flat heads, you can get 250hp :headbang: pretty reliably now, that's at-least triple or quadruple the power of what, they ever were... they had like 50 octane & pretty lousy fuel, back then too... good luck & have fun, keep us all posted

Some progress. Z'ed the rear frame 3".Boxed the frame. Sent the axle off to get a 4" drop,found a 48 F1 ford in the local junk yard for the juice brakes and is pretty much mounted.Rear is a early bronco 9" which is about as narrow as they get from the factory,factory Model A cross spring with a store bought ladder bar setup all mounted.

that's a cool ride, ya gotta' love the early Hemi & severe chop

 

[wannadrag]

Severe chop looks cool but it aint to comfy to drive.The last A I did it had a 4" channel and a 3.5" chop and with me being 6'2" it was tight.No channel on this one but will get a 3" haircut.

:iamwithstupid: It's real tough/tight fit in a little car like a Model A, especially if your over 6ft, let alone if it's chopped for sure.... try looking over @ www.HotRodHotLine.com , I get there weekly news letter e-mail, some great information, cool articles, show coverage, parts, classifieds & many links there too, especially for Rods of any kind & years....
