Default O/T But Model A Related
Although this is not pure Model A thought you guys might get a kick out of my 27 T roadster. It started life as a 4dr but was shortened up.
It has a '29 A motor , t-5 transmission and an A banjo rear.
The motor is pressure oiled , has insert bearings , aluminum head, Brierly camshaft and a pair of 97's.
The brakes and clutch are controlled be Model A pedals.
I will be moving from CT to North Carolina in the Fall and will be bringing the motor over to James Rogers at Dreamwerks to address a couple of problems that require some machining.
There is one of his lightened flywheels in the motor .

Enjoy, Pete

You know that has been pointed out a couple of times ! Fact is it rides real nice. Spring rates are good so that it doesn't induce kidney pain and there is a lot of foam on them seats.
My interior guy is in the same complex, his sign is right under the back fixers.

I'd sure trade my T V8 engine for his half an engine any day! Mighty nice.

Very cool. When the weather warms up, perhaps I will see you at The Sycamore. That machine certainly stands out.

I didnt mean to imply that James was hiding, or hard to get a hold of...just that I dont follow directions very well sometimes.Sorry for the confusion.
