Thread: 1931 Model A Coupe

Wanted to get a few pics up before Photo bucket kicks me off.

Been slow going, but picking at it. Had a lot of issues with the door
glass! Repo parts mixed with originals caused a lot of issues to get right.
Finally got the windows, and door latches working good.
Real happy with my painted "upholstery". Can't wait to put the seat in,
but it's in the way to do the wiring which is what I'm working on now.

Looks fantastic Rich!

It looks stunning Rich!

very impressive !

I agree with the above, you do such nice work Rich.

Thanks guys!! I'm going to leave the fenders off till the engine work gets done. Easier to
get at the engine bay, an less chance of booboo's! LOL

That is looking Great! Makes me want to start on mine again.

That looks fantastic Rich. You sure know how to make a very old car look brand new!

I can't wait for the engine pics!

Very cool car,nice work. Your painted interior and diamond floor is different, looks nice.

Finally finished up the wiring. I used a American Autowire #15 kit, great quality.
I wanted the dash to be removable, and installed disconnects to make that
possible. They supply you with one, but with all my gaauges I needed two.

The wiring looks awesome as does the dash! I've been considering that same kit for the 40.

I thought I provided enough room for all the switches, but the wires took up more
room than I had counted on. Oh well. I made up a little panel to mount to the
support frame work around the hanging pedals. This helped with making the dash
removable as the panel is independant.

The toggle switch is my dimmer switch, I have very little floor space.

I also changed my tail lites to LED, the stockers even with the xtra bright bulbs were
just to dim.

Oh yeah, that looks amazing! You're getting so close. When do the engine shots start coming?
