Short running video of Model A hot rod

This is my coupe, running after being taken out of winter storage. I film the car and then start it. My Uncle behind the camera can be heard saying "You know it's in gear..?" It actually wasn't in gear, as the transmission has a tendency to walk in Neutral, spinning freely in the air, but not having the power to move the car if it were on the ground. I put it on jack stands just in case it decides to hook-up, however. I slid it into Park to be safer.

The body is a 1930 Ford Coupe, chanelled 5 inches over a boxed and kicked chassis. Motor is a Chrysler 413. Transmission is push-button TorqueFlite.

Hey Dude, it's a really nice hotrod ya got there. Really cool, awesome stance. So far I've seen just one unchopped A with such a bitchin' profile. Dig the truck grille.

What's up with it? Gonna fix it up and drive?

[jonnyhotrod1]

I've done a ton of work since posting this video. Plans are to drive it every chance I get. I'm presently about a day away from being able to register it.
