Re: Model A Huckster Group
I am new to the Huckster group.
I have completed my Huckster this summer after restoring a Model A Deluxe Coupe in 1987.
My hobbies include woodworking and restoring old cars and I thought that this was a way of satisfying both interests.
My Huckster is constructed from parts collected over many years at various swap meets.
My huckster body design is based on the Wagon Works plans but the door opening was increased 2 inches to match that of a tudor Model A. Other modifications include moving the cab back 4 inches and designing the doors to overlap as per the Lentville design. The narrow rear fenders are original Martin Parry and the seats are original Model A tudor.
The chassis is restored all original 1930 Model A with the exception of a Cling hydraulic brake system using 1948 Ford hubs and backing plates.
The engine is upgraded with a counterbalanced crank, B cam grind, lightened flywheel, and a B head and water pump.
When I have time I will provide a photo gallery showing the construction details.
