Very cool looking piece. I like the radiator adaptation, too.

Looks great! I like the front fenders. Are they made from a spare tire cover?

Re: Because y'all like pics....
1928. Trans is F150 O/D, rear is 47 open drive. I built the whole thing from scrounging parts from all over the country (New Zealand). The only work not done by me was welding in patch panels in the door bottoms.
And credits to Bubbas for the ignition, and Charlie NY for rebuilding a carb. |

Re: Because y'all like pics....
28-29 shell, 66-67 Mustang radiator with extra outlets added. Along with Stant thermostats, Drake pumps and well cleaned out water jackets in the block, it never, ever overheats.

Re: Because y'all like pics....
Early mustang radiators are an easier fit to the Model A shell than any I'm aware of. The model A radiators are difficult to do anything with for the dual inlets & outlets.

Re: Because y'all like pics....
Great ride! Since no one else asked, when did Kiwi's start saying "y'all"? Let me guess, its because you're from the Deep, really Deep, South?

Great! How does that engine compare with a new Hemi?

Re: Because y'all like pics....
Is this a beefed up old engine or a new mega hp engine?

Re: Because y'all like pics....
Let's just say it ain't no hemi.... It makes less power but sounds way better while doing it. Gotta try the mustang radiator.

Re: Because y'all like pics....
I like Tudors too. This one is not Flathead powered, but still fun. A Flathead may be installed in the future.
