    30 Model A coupe build begins

     



    Well, I posted a while back asking about fiberglass bodies. Today I am happy to say I found a nearly complete 30 model A coupe to begin my build. It will be channeled but not chopped. I will be using a Boling Brothers 4-10 frame, trianglated 4 link rear suspension and either traditional transverse leaf in the front or torsion bars. Haven't decided yet. As far as the rest of the build I will see where it takes me. I want a driver, not a show queen, so it will be built with that in mind. My good friend Mr. Robinson will be my main source of advice but I may occasionally hit you all up for advice too.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
