I've been on this for a few months now, just dropped the engine and trans. in on Sat.

This is what I started with.

Here it is so far.

Elwood's old engine and a beefed up C-4 with a 2500 stall converter.

Sorry I missed the show at the hot rod shop on Saturday.  I bet the model A got lots of attention.  I really like the roller, especially the view from the back.  I saw pictures of Elwood there too, did you fire it up for the crowd?

It'll be a Hiboy with a 4" chop.  Not too radical but fenderless non the less.  A little something like this but not quite.

Now that the first El Mirage meet has come and gone it's time to get some work done on the "A". Derrek picked up the body from the sand blaster yesterday so when I got off work the work began.

The body is in pretty good shape but as with anything 80+ years old it has a little rot and has been repaired a few times. With most of the metal bare I had to get in there with a wire wheel and take out all the Bondo. there was two patches on the body, some on the firewall and a little on each door. I now have a new hatered for this stuff.




Grinding the stuff out! What fun!




Now blowing all the sand and dirt out.


Body ready for primer and all the little pieces laid out.

Got all the pieces primered last night. Derrek will fit the body to the frame next and then the chop.

Derrek took this "high angle" shot so you guys can see my bald spot.

All ready for the next step.

Hi Tim,



Looks just like "Overhaulin'" and the jpgs are almost as long lasting at the fast cuts they use on that show. I find it to be unwatchable, but your pics are great, keep 'em coming.
