TiredIronGRB's '30 Model A Coupe

[jfg455]

That's flying by my standards.

Hitting 10 months on mine and still a lot to do.

hahaha! I am 15 yrs into my chevelle and it still isnt done![cl

I got my gauge holes cut tonight, filled some holes in the firewall and fabbed up a battery box.

 

[Dave50]

Great Idea i like it looks good

Speaking of working quickly...TI, are you the same gentelman who put Volvo portal axles in an 80 series Land Cruiser in a week? Pretty funny when 4Mogger said there was no way you could do it.

I guess he finally shelled out enough money to have someone else build his Unimog axled 4runner after 6 years or so. :-D

This is where the "J" clamp hooks to the cowl top...

Got the last of the throttle linkage finished.

Made some framing for the rear fender wells, going with a 3" notch for the spring.

You guys are funny I guess I do get a lot done but it's because I do something every day no matter if it's just cleaning some parts. Yesterday I started at 10:00 and worked until 8:00, never stopped to eat, drink or go to the bathroom...I kind of get tunnel vision once I get started.

I don't comment because novice me telling you 'good job' seems kind of silly. Like the dash and gauges...

You sir are no novice [

Well in that case.... Good job!

Since I don't plan on running a hood I'm trying to mount as much of the electrics as I can out of the weather.

Now that all the electrical pieces are in place I'll start building the wiring harness.

 

[SugarRay8]

Really like how you’ve got everything tucked away, not only protects it all but keeps it looking nice and clean. [cl

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I've been working on getting the rest of the electrical pieces in place...

Also started filling in the trunk area...

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Picked up a nice model A steering wheel and horn button, I think I like it better than the '40 Ford wheel.

Finished the spring notches, reinforced with 3/4" square tubing.

Tail lights from a '46 Chevrolet.

 

[SugarRay8]

Those lights look right at home there, great work as always.

 

[Gregster]

Looking good !

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Finished rebuilding the carbs and buttoned up the engine.

Got the rumble lid latched and lockable.

All I lack on trunk area is to skin the divider between the seat and fuel tank.

 

[sgtpontiac]

All I can say is WOW!

Man, I love the detail... what a great job.....[cl

 

[jfg455]

yup! looks good. Hey I was watching you rebuild carbs while I was doing a tranny in an H2 hummer at work. [cl
