Thanks!
I get the motor next Wed but still need a body. Roadster bodies are hard to come by and steel reproductions go for around $8k. Short answer, no clue. Longer answer, this summer if I'm willing to sleep on the couch a while.

What it'll look like...

The guy that just started selling the engines has been working on them since 2005, pretty interesting stuff. http://www.modelaengine.com/

Cool.

My FIL was in a Model A resto club many years back. I'll have to see if I can dig up some photos. They were all true to original build guys (whatever you call that) though.

If you know anyone with a 28-31 roadster body, I'd really be interested in chatting.

Thanks

I know a little bit about them from a guy I know who knows a lot about them. They are not that common so parts are kinda scarce.
