Attempting To Daily a 1930 Ford Model A

[EF Ian]

Ever tempted to roof chop it and make it a hod rod?

What an epic thread! Love how you went from an A2 to this

Some work going in too, look forward to seeing the end result!

That was plan A if you read the start of the thread. Not doing a roof chop for now but definitely not ruling it out.

What an epic thread! Love how you went from an A2 to this

Other way around! Got the A2 as a beater during the summer for ferrying the kids about when I took the back seats out of the M3.

Cheers!

It's like some sort of giant Lego set, love it

Are you planning to clean up the chassis while at it?

I was thinking the same on both the construction and the chassis. Remarkably simple. And it would really benefit from a good clean up and repaint given how far in this has become

I look forward to doing an old 20s to 30s car myself at some stage, it's been on the list for years

Lego with split pins

Yep that’s the plan, going to do a bit of work to the chassis then get it blasted and POR-15ed

Great work, Love it. This time of year makes the working outside that bit harder lol!

Great tunes also, Mac Miller fan myself!

That's the benefit of all the pics. He can come to this thread and start at the end and work his way back to the start I'd have thought.

Must be quite nice to work on due to how simple it all is.

Can't beat the PlusGas, where do you source yours from? I have to ask a motor factors to order it in for me specially.

Was just about to say, I’m sure I’ve built more complex Mechano sets!

Work
If I’m buying it I use eBay sellers who don’t care what they put in the post.

When were those wheels last off? 1934?

Love it. So simple, but so much potential too.

That’s me pulling the hydraulic brakes off my 1949 Ford F1 to fit to the Model A

 

[svensktoppen]

Didn't realise you had another one lying around

Beat me to it lol. Its a nightmare to source and a fortune on ebay

Screwfix?

Legend. Cheers

I got it a few weeks ago when I decided the big block was too big for the Model A

I’ve since source a more period correct 50’s flat head v8 for the Model A and the big block will go in the truck.

 

[FM155]

That is a lovely looking thing, perfect 'work truck' .

 

[svensktoppen]

Awesome
