You need a little more tire under the back. Very wicked ride, love the whole look. Nice thing about old cars, there are so many ways to build one. You saved one that looked pretty rough too, which is always good.

This is a great car. I mean BBC, Blown, chopped and Channled Ford, Super Traps it may not get any better than this. Good work and keep is in the loop I would like to see how this one comes along.

Well thanks for the kind words, I found a site that doesnt frown because I have big tires I am on the Hamb and they rag me about the pro street look. Will post up some more build picks.

Pro53, You know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In "MY" opinion ( the only one I am qualified to speak to) You have this car Just Right, thats what I think. However I am not so vane as to think that everyone is going to or should think the same way. When a feller sets out to build a car for his self he actually only has to please one person. You are already way ahead on that thought. But then you already knew it was cool now didn't you? Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks after that, now does it?

You do gotta start resizing those pictures though. To pretty a car to hide it in those giant pictures that take a lot of scrolling.

Here isn't this better?

Sorry about the big picks will start going through photobucket to resize. I think its cool but my buddys dont say that. So thanks. After work today on my way to roll the roof piece with my buddy english wheel.
Here ia some more picks, here is another pick before the blower and floors were put in.

I quit going there, seems like a bunch of adolescent no-it-alls, everyone has a rude comment and BS opinon. Kinda like spoiled rich kids finding there way, the wrong way! Very very good looking Hot Rod....

I'm with you on the pro street look, I want to go fast , you can't do that with skinny tires. Your car looks great, I love the look. I thought you might enjoy what I'm building, it's in the same direction.

Your car looks great, love the pro street look. Here is the car that I am building, has a similar look.

I love that Model A, it has a great stance, and it's totally bad ass. Keep the photos comin. I agree with you guys about the bulletproof movment, it was free thinking in the begining, now it's got really narrow minded. You have to run certain type of wheels, give me a brake. I always thought that hot rodding was about going fast, those guys are like Amish hot rodders. With the amount of HP you are making with that big block you have to haver some serious meats on the back, and they look great the way you have tubed them.
I am just finishing a 28 model A truck with a pro/street/altered look, I hope to nostalgic race it. I tried to post it here but it wouldn't let me. I have my photos on photobucket but can't get them on this forum. Anybody know why?

I love that Model A, those tires are perfect. What a bad ass look. I agree about billetproof people, they insist you have certain wheels, give me a brake. They are like Amish hot rodders.
