    Default Well I got myself a new toy... (Warning: REAL classic car content)

    Free to me!- only thing is I have to put all of it together. I hope to have it running by this summer. I'll get a picture of my current garage situation up asap. I don't feel like a trader since it is so old!

    A few things to change: I have a Webber Carb going on with a new intake manifold and new exhaust manifold. This is the car fabbed up so it is not complete in the picture! those are pop rivets sticking out to keep the body panels in place. Seats are going to be some classic bomber seats. It is going to have a straight 3" pipe running down the side and it will be powered by a Ford Model A 4 banger good for about 100hp. It is sitting on 19s in the picture but if you see the background I have some big and littles in a 16" and I ma swapping the axle for a drop axle in front.

    Many more progress shots to come.

    It was never something I though I'd build (it's a Ford), but I could not pass up the price.

    Yes- we still have the code on the chassis which is all GA needs. But we have to meet all four of the 1930 safety standard for cars too. (ohhhh noze!)

    Headlight (singular)
    Taillight with brakelight
    a wind screen
    some way to wipe off wind screen (my hand reaching over counts)

    Badass, looks like a fun project. I'm always looking for cool old cars for the low.
