Model A Resto Rod Build











This weekend some proper progress was made on this Model A for a friend. Its an early '28 roadster and he wants to build a 60's style trad/resto rod using an original Ford body and chassis so the idea here is to lift the body and deal to the chassis and drop the body back on albeit being about a foot lower to the ground.
The original influence for this car was the "Hartmann Roadster" the black one with cool stance. The actual car is the brown and black fendered car as you see here. The A running gear has gone into my T.
This weekend I fitted the front boxing plates and the front crossmember. Its going to be boxed in the rear of the chassis and then a folded channel cross member will go between the two boxed areas.
The car is run a dropped I Beam on four bars and a 283 and four speed with twin fours. Should be a cool little roadster once completed and also a fun car to drive
