Hey John,
Nice, indeed:). Thanks for sharing !

First drive was also the first time in a Model A.

Looks very nice John.....hard to believe that was also your first time in a Model A; had to be a special experience for sure. Would be wonderful to hear your first thoughts!

Re: Finished at last (almost)
 

Great job, and always a thrill to drive for the first time a car you just brought back to life.

Re: Finished at last (almost)
 

oooh I do love black model A's. Looks very nice!

Did you paint the bumpers? Wayne

Very nice. Just make sure you take it to completion. I finished a 32 5-window coupe and do you think I could find the time to mount the rumble seat in it. It is too much fun to drive it! Ed

Nicely done. What is the finish on the grill and front Bumper? It's very nice looking.

Re: Finished at last (almost)
 

Very nicely done. I especially like the blackwall tires-glad you didn't put whitewalls on it.

Thanks guys. this was intended to be a daily driver so some cosmetic things were done on the cheap. Bumpers, radiator shell and headlight buckets were painted and I installed my own interior. All mechanical was restored or replaced - shackles, brakes & rods, new clutch, ring gear, radiator, engine mounts, valves, pan dropped, king pins, modern shocks, body block, new wiring, turn signals, muffler, 30-31 steering column support and several other hundred $'s and hours worth of stuff. I amazed myself with the desire of doing everything by myself with no help and did it - just had to. This was my frsit rertirement project and at a loss what to do now. 150 miles so far and no problems.
