Got the body on! I realize this is not everyones cup of tea here, but could not have got this far without the Barns help! Thanks to all, Greg.

It looks good , I also like hot rod model A's . Very cool !!!

Badpuppy · 03-27-2019, 11:07 AM

I really don't like Model As at all, but I certainly respect the effort it takes to bring one back to life. Nice job!

Nice Roadster. How about a closer look at the engine.

Why don't you use a Chrysler or something that doesn't matter.

It's my wife's car. You think I'm going to pay somebody to work on it for her?

Purdy Swoft · 03-29-2019, 10:51 AM

It was obvious to me early on that I was going to have to learn to fix them myself if I was going to keep my model A .
