One of the inspirations for this project. A Model A pickup with the same design BMW v8 & manual.

Very unique and beautifully executed.

Found a clutch master & brake master pedal assembly from a sandrail, fitment is tight. To tight to the exhaust, I may be able to lower mounting and pull forward a bit. The back of the tapeline is the frontmost of the T cab.





Also had an idea for the headlights I wanted to try, I actually kind of dig it.



"Hey you"



"Yeah?"



"What are you staring at?"

"Uhh...nuthin"

I like that idea on the headlights, only drawback i see is what to do with the wiring to make it look clean.

 

[lowbudget50]

I like it. Yeah the wiring might be a little hard to hide but it's doable

I agree...the wiring will be a challenge, but I'm sure you'll come up with a unique and tasteful way to deal with it.

Well hate to be a party pooper.... just thinking it may be annoying
to on coming traffic if the road your on is not completely smooth..
being the lights will travel with the suspension...I could be wrong..
I'm diggin' everything else though....

 

[Mykk]

I doubt road movement will cause lights to move enough to be a hazard to other drivers. I was more concerned about vibration wiping out bulb filaments. I'm gonna run with this for now, I dig it. I am considering two smaller fixed mount fog lights to the front crossmember too

 

[rustybeercan]

That is really looking good, love it! [cl

My first thought too
There's a little bit of Tucker engineering there

Put led bulbs in them

I loved the autobahn. With a 56 Olds[cl

 

[dutch]

the v12 does sound sick.... [cl

 

[Mykk]

I see your BMW v12 30 Model A, and I raise you a twin BMW v12 powered '57 chevy

I think I'm going to stick with the single BMW V8

[Mykk]

What do you guys think, carb scoop on top of the engine over the throttlebody? Mechanically it would be easy to adapt over, style wise do you think it works?

 

[hansgoudzwaard]

was going to suggest this.....

If you fabbed it to look like this?

I know the underpinnings are different.

 

[Burgerman]

Agree with Hans. Right on top looks cool.
