Thread: My 28 Model A build

Tweet

It's been a 7 year work in progress I think you will enjoy.

here are some of the rag top I made.

Full fendered and no chop, that's bitchin'.

I'm 6'2'' 225lbs not much room for a chop, but the ragtop makes it feel bigger.

Cool build Modela, I see your a local. Welcome to the site if I hadn`t said so yet...

Thanks neighbor.

yeah that looks the goods with no chop. i like them taller-same with the model T's.

Very, very nice. I like how the headlights - kinda bugeyed - work with the cab, almost as if there are two vehicles you are looking at: the lowslung lines of a roadster pickup and then you see the headlights and the cab. Is that the original '28 radiatot shell, the corners look a bit more rounded but i like it. What happened to the opposed shocks, they disappeared in the pic of it sitting in the driveway?

Cool abone truck, If I ever do another model a it with be a full fenered 28-29 pickup like yours, LUV those trucks. Awesome truck.

The headlights and cross bar are beeing changed to a ss droped bar with tri bar lights. the radiator shell is original and was pretty messed up when I got it, I basicaly messaged the metal back to where I thought it should be.
No shocks were on in these pics, there is a piece of pipe for mock up till the cash came available. I will post more pics later.

Neat truck! Always like the looks of a stock bodied A pickup. The roof is too high to look proportionate, but somehow the A's can pull it off! If it's gonna be a cruizer it's gotta have room to get comfortable in the cab when driving, very nicely done!

yeah ive driven a chopped model a tudor before and had to duck to see out the windscreen! cool for cruising but not so much on a long trip.

talking about out of proportion how are those rear windows!

Nice - 'course I am partial to 'A's

I have the deluxe height windshield and even with low seats still have the top of my head (I'm 6'4") getting chilled - like on the ride I took this afternoon in the 35* snow flurry just before I put it to bed for the winter

Nice build so far! Are those American Racing Torque Thrusts? They look sweet on your truck. You, me and Rich need to get together one of these days, as we are within a 30 mile radius of each other.
