Thread: New to the site - Questions about my '31 Model A

Are you saying that the car is not safe? When driving it and hitting a bump it feels very unsafe.

When I throttle the pedal the first 1/2" is loose the the gas pedal in any car, however when I go to accelerate the gas pedal is harder to push down and sticks open many times where I have to kick it down

I wanted an electronic choke as well but was told by the first builder it's a nightmare and I didn't want it

To be really honest, I spared no expense on this build and feel with all the work done I have a nice $70k build but unfortunately I have $96k in it. I had to fire the original builder and hire 5 different to figure out and get this car done. The final result is a stunning piece of mechanical art when looking at it but a nightmare when driving. Not quite the experience I expected for working 360 last year to pay for it.

I live in central Illinois about 45 minutes east of Davenport is in Bureau il. I would love someone to fix all the issues. I hate the idea of paying more but love the idea of driving this like I thought I'd be able too.

I bought the complete setup from Vintage Speed (Charlie Price), here is a pic of what I bought showing the linkage
