Current car project

I like to create something from nothing or re-purpose something into a new item. Plus I have a ton of collections and hobbies, home theater, electronics and computers are another big thing for me. I have an addictive personality so adding shaving into the mix was just another piece to my disorder

Interesting build

Sheetmetal looks to be 5 window T
Engine a Chevy smallblock with a very interesting dual stromberg setup

and painted Pontiac Green(or blue what ever the offical name is) Looks like it will be a fun ride when it is done

Close, so very close...

It's a Model A thats been shortened by 18" and chopped. The engine is an SBC from a late 60's Camaro with dual Ford/Holley 94 carbs VERY similar to the stromberg units. And the engine is painted Detroit Diesel alpine green.

Here is the before, ignore the date on there its wrong - its a 1930.

You have a good eye though, you must have been around some cars before

The engine in my old '52 Buick was Pontiac blue

Very cool set up

I always love learing something new about cars though pre-60s is a particularly weak area for me, and lates 70s-mid 80's is shakey too due to the boring nature of that era.

Someday I would like to build a T bucket, find 348 or 409 Chevy for it, put a 3x2 on top.

**probesport** · 03-15-2011, 11:18 AM

Nice! Here is my old T bucket, it was a fun build and lent its parts to 2 other builds going on right now. The engine of course is in the new rod and the body to a friend.

I taught myself to pinstripe on this one.

**DarthAWM** · 03-15-2011, 11:53 AM
