Re: my new model a coupe
Nice! You know, if the mechanicals are ok, I would leave it just as it is! Best wishes.

Re: my new model a coupe
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.

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. MIKE |

Re: my new model a coupe
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!

Re: my new model a coupe
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 ..

Re: my new model a coupe
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?
LOL, I just keep this picture for laughs at how ridiculous some people make a vehicle. |

Re: my new model a coupe
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.

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