New (non Porsche) project


[


Good start, still needs some sorting out. Right now it wants to be a T-bucket with a coupe body. T Buckets not our thing. Needs fixing.

Looks like an "A" - appears to have good bones, can't wait to see what you do with it!

It is an "A" but we're getting rid of the visor (and a bunch of other stuff) the headers
too, for sprints. Need a 4 x 2 intake, man-a-fre would be nice as we're doing a John Milner graffiti tribute. The man a fre is a rare item but we're not going to bother looking for that. Offenhauser has one (4 x 2). We're doing up a list of stuff needed, be awhile.

If it's a tribute car, it must have 3 pedals in the floor, 4-speed and a wicked cam.....

It is cool that a 90 year old car is still on the road. The A was made from 1927 to 1931. No one doubts there are more 32 coupes on the road now than Ford ever made. I just wonder if in 90 or 100 years anyone will be able to even get a current production car to run.

Have fun with that toy!

Should look like this when we're done

More or less, not wanting to break the bank.

He also built these







He's got some talent, and is quick at this. That's a big plus.

The bright blue truck (poor picture) started out as a 1930 4 door chevy. But the best build of all was that Mustang 350R tribute, as he started with nothing but bits and pieces.

He's a good guy too! Always has time for anyone's project if they need help.

I like 'em with the early Hemi...absolutely love them with a well done flathead. Small block Chevy is okay, but it's been done, and done, and...

Hey maybe a nailhead Buick? Kind of a tribute to TV Tommy?
