Its hard to imagine its been almost a year since I last posted. I've spent most of this time hauling Model A's, Parts, Tools and equipment to my new shop in Oak Hills. I hope to post a video response soon. Are you going to be at the L.A. Roadsters show in June? I would enjoy meeting you and seeing your car.

Wow! it has been a long time! We hope we can go.... its questionable right now though. We are having problems with the transmission in my dads truck. Its a 7 hour drive for us and with pulling the car on a trailer might be a little much for his truck. If we can solve the problem we will be there (hopefully with the car). I will let you know as soon as we know if we can go or not.

Hey guy:

With all the recent flooding and BAD weather through your area, how did you fair? No damage I hope!

[1930Acoup]

Hey

Wow that was a WET week.. Its nice to have dry weather again! We survived... we only had one roof leak and some big branches down but nothing too bad. We were ready with sandbags, so that kept our house dry. Our neighbors lost part of their roof though. The Russo and Steele auction was hit HARD! Millions of dollars worth of cars destroyed!

Hi again Guy;

Saw latest videos. What times did you run in 1/4 and how was last hill climb. Thought I read someone broke. Not you I hope.

[1930Acoup]

Hey!

This time we ran 1/8 mile at the nostalgia drags. We didn't push the car too hard, as it was our ride home, but we still ran low 11's. yeah, someone broke their transmission at the hill climb. We also blew up our transmission a week before the race! we ran slower this time but still won our class by 0.01sec! It was a good race!

This is real "Old Skool" hot rodding. Very Nice.

Knock my eyeballs back & my socks off; This car shines, it absolutely Defines

C O O L .

Props!

There ain't a single 350 chevy-equipped rod anywhere that can outshine this car.

Carry On!

Well done bud. I love the way a radical cam sounds in an inline engine. You did a great job. Love the red and the stance.

[spikemilliganfan]

what sort of upgrades did you do to the engine?

[mastersduhgree]

This rig is alright. No speed to it but; thats not even an issue here.This 4 banger is about love.....All love man.Anyone know how this would fair against the 8 cyl flatty? (all stock) I know this has a bit of a cam and thought it should run fairly well against the 8 but would enjoy seeing it actually rotate along side one.

[xFReSHeReST]

thats what a four cyl should sound like

[astericx]

It looks like the little brother of Jimmy Whites Coup and you are playing him driving on the streets ;-)

[fattony252]

Do you ever give the engine any gas or are you in the Tuscon Hills Idling club?

[weiwdxnw3nywyxrc98]

This is great! This is a love of machines, not your typical bread & butter SB Chevy (nothing wrong with them, just nothing unique). I really enjoy watching/reading build ups of classic iron. Nice job :-)

[65mustangryan]

Man, I love that sound. That's what's so great about the bangers, they cough and spit, they just sound bad ass. Nice car, I would love to have an A banger. Easy to see you put a lot of work into this, very cool.

@Robkat3751 thank you. next year I hope to set enough money back to start on one.

[Robkat3751]

@indestructableforce check ebay under Model B ford. A lot of speed parts show up there. Also check online as a lot of people are repoping speed parts. There are a few publications for this hobby as well. "secrets of Speed"," Forever Four" and "FAST"
