Nice! You know, if the mechanicals are ok, I would leave it just as it is! Best wishes.

From here, it looks pretty solid. Best of luck with it, whether you restore it or leave it the way it is. As long as the mechanicals are good.

My thoughts exactly. My new bride loves my 1930 Fordor and was with me when I bought it a month ago. I consider myself a very, very lucky man.

I don't see any original paint, so go ahead and restore it if you want. Just don't put a 350 in that nice of Model "A", please.

You're off to a great start on two fronts.

I believe you have a couple of keepers there! The tie is another matter, though. (Just yankin' your crank! LOL) Best wishes for the future!

Looks straight. I'd restore it.

It's nice Real solid one coat of paint other than the original. Mechanically is good I have just installed all new wiring harness and engine gaskets .. We have put 500 miles on it since we got it home. I like it the way it is. If I was to ever do anything to it, I have a 1937 flat head that's all rebuilt. But the banger does fine the way it is.. Could use a radiator. Little crusty. And the wife insisted on us having it there at the wedding. She helped me string the new harness today ..

Nice find. Where in MN did the car come from? Are you sure you don't want to turn it into a "cozy cab" like this one?:confused:

The V-8 60 doesn't do very well, even with a 4.11 rear axle, in the Model A. I'd ask around before you do that. There is a V-8 60 '30 pickup in a local club. The owner was very disappointed when he made the change.

A good strong motor w/high comp head/touring cam, 3;54's and a Mitchell OD move my little coupe along nicely.
