The flatheads are something I'm getting into thanks to my dad. We've got 2 projects going right now - '29 model A 2dr Sedan, steel body but no fenders or hood; and a T-bucket "lakester" project that we're pretty much building from scratch except for the fiberglass body.
The Model A is much farther along: it has a built '50 flathead, complete with a polished, dual 2brl, high-rise, Tattersfield intake that just looks awesome. I can't wait to hear that motor run. We've also chopped the top and filled the roof with a steel panel cut from a late 70's wagon, and done a very slight tub to the rear wheelwells, just to smooth them out.
My Dad built the engine, but I've been responsible for a lot of the metalwork and fabricating. The frame is boxed and smoothed, and has been painted, and the body is in primer. I'm getting antsy about it . . . ."Restoration" is for museums; if you drive it, make it your own.
