There's a reason everyone does the Ford grills. They look amazing.

But, everyone does the Ford grill. One vote against the grain from the peanut gallery!

It is hard to beat amazing ! love it when someone looks at my truck and says " why that is just amazing " , of course some of the street rodders think it is amazing that a truck with no paint on it can be driven safely .

I went to the junkyard today and got some rollers for the model a to use while I'm building it. I thought i would post a pic of it.

I get the same thing. The most common comments are "Looks like a good start" and things like that.

Just some friendly advise here, but I think your axel may need a little more tweeking. Seems to me there is a lot of negative camber still in it judging by the angle of your rollers.....and I vote for the Ford grill as well.

It is not in place yet. I just set every thing in place to get a look at it. I will have to z the frame in the back.

I got my engine and transmission mounted today. I mounted it low enough so my floor should be flat.

I picked up a 36 Ford pickup steering column at a swap meet today. Has anyone used one push pull style? I mocked it up and think it will work?

Has anyone used a speedway medium arch spring on a model a frame? I'm having clearance issues with the shackles and the ends of the cross member the spring sits in. I think if I trim the ends of the cross member off so it is flush with the sides of the frame it might work. I was just curious if any of you guys came up with other solutions or if I just did something wrong.

Not sure where you're going wrong, but none of your pics show. Are you changing names/locations in your Photobucket? You have to leave the pic location and name alone or you lose all connections to it.

I'm building a '28 pickup and love to see pics of other peoples similar projects.

You have the PhotoBucket album set to "Private". That's why it isn't showing up...

Take those "other pictures" out and put them somewhere safe. We want to see your car.[dr

I organized my photos in my photo bucket and I'm wondering if that's why they are not showing up anymore. I couldn't figure out how to go back and repost the pics.
