Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Must be brand spanking new because he did not leave any rubber behind.

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Nice period ride! When I was in my first year in college I found a similar Tudor down at Antique Automotive in San Diego, with a 289 Ford V-8. I could not convince my dad that I needed that Tudor to drive to school. I ended up with a Datsun truck...alas.
20 years later I got the little blue roadster. Take that Dad! |
Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Nice ! ! What's he using for a supercharger??

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Looks like an Eaton. I was thinking (fantasizing??) about using one on a Banger... :p:p

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 You would likely get more attention on the Hot Rod forum!

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 I clu;do be wrong about it being a 53 Merc Motor, I am certainly not an expert. I will ask him what SC is on there

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Tell Ken he's a bad boy and that we want the car returned to original. The old car hobby isn't a democracy.

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Too many of this cars are being screwed up by hot roding them. Just my 2 cents worth

A friend has a similar car that he "built". It would never be a Model A again, altho the body looks better than a lot of Model As running around. When he got his it was an old rusted out body. He fabbed the door skins and most of the lower sheet metal from the belt line down, taking measurements off of his pristine stock '30 Tudor. He built the frame, had seats made, installed a "Hot Rodded 4 Banger. It looks like a '30 Tudor, but there is not much Ford left so I don't think he "screwed" anything up. Yes, there are a fair amount of Model As being Hot Rodded. But guess what? It is their car. Just my 2 cents worth. |
Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 My avatar roadster was built one piece at a time from flea market parts and a very poor body that was patched up. No Model A's were damaged to build it. I also have a stock 30 Tudor that will remain stock.

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 Doesn't matter what you do with your property.My only wish is that you finish what you start,so many get torn apart and forgotten. It a lot like a puppy,some get all giddy when they get them but don't give a thought to the long term commitment they are making.

Re: My friend Ken’s Model A -V8 I visited a Model A friend just last week who is attempting to put a V-12 Lincoln in a 31 Victoria. He was in the process of adding the extra 13 inches to the frame. Knowing my friend he will get it completed and add it to his collection of stock Model As. Hu
