Full fendered and no chop, that's bitchin'.:3dSMILE:
I'm 6'2'' 225lbs not much room for a chop, but the ragtop makes it feel bigger.
Cool build Modela, I see your a local. Welcome to the site if I hadn`t said so yet...
Thanks neighbor.
yeah that looks the goods with no chop. i like them taller-same with the model T's.
Very, very nice. I like how the headlights - kinda bugeyed - work with the cab, almost as if there are two vehicles you are looking at: the lowslung lines of a roadster pickup and then you see the headlights and the cab. Is that the original '28 radiatot shell, the corners look a bit more rounded but i like it. What happened to the opposed shocks, they disappeared in the pic of it sitting in the driveway?
Cool abone truck, If I ever do another model a it with be a full fenered 28-29 pickup like yours, LUV those trucks. Awesome truck.
The headlights and cross bar are beeing changed to a ss droped bar with tri bar lights. the radiator shell is original and was pretty messed up when I got it, I basicaly messaged the metal back to where I thought it should be.Quote:

Neat truck! Always like the looks of a stock bodied A pickup. The roof is too high to look proportionate, but somehow the A's can pull it off! If it's gonna be a cruizer it's gotta have room to get comfortable in the cab when driving, very nicely done!
yeah ive driven a chopped model a tudor before and had to duck to see out the windscreen! cool for cruising but not so much on a long trip.Quote:

Nice - 'course I am partial to 'A's
I have the deluxe height windshield and even with low seats still have the top of my head (I'm 6'4") getting chilled - like on the ride I took this afternoon in the 35* snow flurry just before I put it to bed for the winter:D:D
Nice build so far! Are those American Racing Torque Thrusts? They look sweet on your truck. You, me and Rich need to get together one of these days, as we are within a 30 mile radius of each other.
Keith
Yes, American Racing Torque Thrusts, 15's in front 17's in rear, Tires and wheels were the first big item I bought.Quote:

that is one kool pickup..have a soft spot for those 28/9 pickups and r/ps.I think they look better stock height,too..Im 6'-1'',and like headroom..Not much fun driving hunched over...
Great job Modela, and I also liked the early pu`s. Like Keith said we`ll have to get together one day, and Keith I was just up your way looking at a 454, but passed on it.
Was it that beat? We will definately get together soon! Mondela, looking good.
Keith
I'm not normally one for fendered A's, but you one is a beaut!
Thanks for all the compliments, I got the motor in a couple of weeks ago and got the motor broke in this last weekend, those 2-1/2" Flow Master 44 series sound GREAT!!!
I know how we like to see pics, so here you go.

Looks great Modela, you must a been shoving it in and out during rain storms here lately for pics..?
I can't wait to get that far, got more chassis fabrication to do yet. Oh well, another year of bare metal and OSH rattle can primer for me.
Keith
Rich, these were taken just before Thanksgiving, no rain.Quote:

Super nice job all the way around. The truck has a great look to it. :)

NICE, would like to see more
I really like the truck. I am trying to figure out what I want to build next with leftover '35 parts. It will probably be an A - rpu/closed cab leading right now. I could use a little parts hauler :cool:. I have a lot of what I need to get started..just need a body and frame :LOL:
Could you tell me what size tires you have on those 15/17's? Thanks
Nobody has mentioned it yet so I will.. Nice sheet metal work there, as well!
Going to be a great ride.
Love it, nice job !!!
I'd like to see more of that slammed bug too.......
Very cool build. I would like to see more. Nice job
