General vehicle thread

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...

I know a guy who might have what you're hoping for. Lmk if you're interested in talking to him.

Latest project. 1931 Model A. Ground up build late 40's traditional hi-boy roadster. Only modern thing on the car will be the new Burtz reproduction 5 main crank engine. Modern internals but looks exactly like it should externally. 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

Who knows about these vehicles? Is TheNash my guy on something like this?

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.

They seem unique. The crane motor is apparently a Hercules 4 cyl 327.

ASE test kids flexing certs and shiny unused tools and Irving is the man actually getting after it!!
