One small step for mankind, and one giant step forward for Model A.
Looking good. |

Re: baby steps but getting there....
I'm always so amazed by the people willing to take on such big projects. My hats off to you! I don't think I could do it.

Re: baby steps but getting there....
just think, there is a finite amount of bolts and parts to build a car, if all you get accomplished in a day is cleaning up a handful of bolts then its still one step closer. Looks great btw! Its always fun to be in the rebuilding phase.

Like the old saying goes "You can eat an elephant one bite at a time", make sure it stays a fun project and not a work project.

Re: baby steps but getting there....
Thanks guys! I probably do 20 hours or more a week. With something like this project your always finding something else that needs fixed, replaced or trashed. I think I am beyond that on the chassis. I have a rebuilt engine, I rebuilt the trans, steering box and will putting on drums / hubs with new seals and bearings this weekend along with painting my blasted wheels. If I could ever get my rear spring in I would be happy.

Re: baby steps but getting there....
Does rear spring not go up into cross member?
I usually put spring in by itself, leave it loose at U bolts, then attach shackles and tighten everything (don't tighten shackle bars, just snug and loosen one castle). Cheers |
