Re: Model A on Craigs list

Re: Model A on Craigs list
The only thing that resembles a Model A on this 'recreation' is the blue oval Ford emblem on the radiator shell.

Re: Model A on Craigs list
And a ''Chevette'' frame. Having cut up large numbers of Chevettes during the late '70's- early 80's for repairs I never saw a framed Chevette, as they were all unibody. The Chevette unibody, while tough would not support this sort of vehicle structure nor tow requirements. Now a ''Chevelle'' frame would be a good match, both structure and wheelbase-wise.

Re: Model A on Craigs list
With my experience with Chevy 4 cyl. engines- I can't believe that thing would have enough guts to haul the trunk let alone a trailer.

Re: Model A on Craigs list
I think you guys are a little hard on this one. Nice work but not a model A in any respect.

Re: Model A on Craigs list
That is a spectacle, not an A. The only person who likes it is the guy who built it. I'm sure there is a lot of money in it, but it's not worth much to me.

Re: Model A on Craigs list
Its kind of like the kit cars you see now and then. A TON of work to build and all you have when you're done is a funny lookin VW. Actually this one looks really nice, just not my cup of tea.
