Re: What cool item have you made from Model A parts?
Ray, what you said reminded me of something.
Well, I didn't make it, and it's not even a Model A part, but it was IN a Model A so maybe it counts. I was at a car show about 30 years ago and there was a pretty radical Model A coupe hot rod there. When I looked inside I saw the steering column drop was made from a connecting rod (of unknown origin) that had a perfect bend in it. The big end went around the steering column at just the right angle. The piston pin hole had been cut off of the small end and it was perfectly vertical hanging from the dash. I asked the owner how he got that perfect bend in a connecting rod and he said "that's just the way it looked when it came out of the side of the block. I'll never forget that story.
