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

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

A talented man for sure, I dig that there many different types and styles of vehicles there...............the way it should be.

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.

pwd72s 03-02-2018 10:56 AM

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?
