Can anybody identify the manufacturer of the 500-19 tires shown in picture 124?
(See Logan's link)

Thanks for posting this build Logan. Great pictures and a very nice finished project. Just the work in those wheels alone. Very cool.

About as close to a Model A as this. This one may even be faster, who knows.

Georgew48 · 12-12-2011, 07:04 AM

I don't think anybody believed it was a stock model A anymore than someone believes that a NASCAR car is a stock car. It's just a play on words. The worlds fastest "Model A" wink wink. To the untrained eye I'm sure it looks more like a Model A then your typical Hot Rodded Model A does.

Finding that engine would be like finding a affordable offy, nearly impossible

wensum · 12-12-2011, 03:06 PM

An extensive article on this car appeared in "Hot Rod" magazine, March 2008.
I think I located it on Google, and was able to print it off.
Its worth exploring to find the article

When I first saw this video a couple years a go, I thought it was trick photography with a faked sound track, and clicked away from it before they got to the dyno test or any other revelatory footage...

Quite a job, and while I generally don't like modified cars, this one impresses me from a standoint of design engineering and execution.

Theo · 12-12-2011, 07:12 PM

I like how they kept the car looking almost like a stock model a. I think it really sets it apart from hotrods or street rods. They did a great job on it

wildwilly · 12-12-2011, 09:16 PM

that was a trip !!!! That would be the LAST thing my Crazy @ss needs. LOL Im staying close to stock just so I may live long enough to enjoy her..
