1931 Model A
Hello Fellow Loungers !
I have been away for awhile (not that anybody noticed ) but have just returned today.
I was working on my Model A today putting in a new rear floorboard ( thats where they got the term) windshield gliders and painting the firewall.
This Sunday is the "dust off tour " with my model A club first road trip of the season.
Here are a few shots of my work.
The rear without the board.
The new Board
Same area after painting.
The firewall with just the right half painted.
I have missed being on the Forum and all of you good people ,I will try to be on more often!
All the Best, Fashion Frank

Thanks Big Man but I must admit I would not mind sliding behind the wheel of your car and taking it for a spin.
As someone else noted here I love cars with split windshields ,how easy it is to change half a windsheild !
I used to have a Hudson Hornet Sedan with a split windsheild it was the bomb !

Those hornets were not the bomb---they were a bomb.
Those things can move for their age. :eeek:

Definitely. A hotrod straight from the factory.
I wonder how one would stack up against the speeding green Nash I'm always hearing about on 'Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator'

Dust off tour, lil rhody model a club
Hello FellowLoungers , today was our first tour of the season the "dust off " tour .
We went to a guys house in Conn. who makes long rifles ,lives in a 1770's era house anf his wife did a fireside cooking demo.
The guys went down to the basement where this guy makes the rifles.
He has been on the History Channel more than once showing how he makes these rifles.
It was a fun day to say the least watching 12 Model A's going down the road and the reaction from people is some thing else.
heres a few shots from today,enjoy.

At the rally point before we left.
Nothing like seeing a line of Model A's going down the road.
A sample of some of the rifles that this gentleman has made.
The hearth upstairs in his house.
His wife made killer cornbread and the dutchoven on the right with the coals onto of it had a pie that she was bakinging inside of it quite interesting.
Me the wife and the girls in the back seat , it was one hell of a day we had a blast.

Interesting. On the way back from church this afternoon, there was a guy in a Model A convertible in front of me. It didn't look as good as some you posted though. No trunk and a few dents on the back end of it but it was moving along.

Love the long rifles. If I ever get my life back on track, I would love to make a replica of the Hawkins transition plains rifles. They had the long barrel, but a short forearm, less ornate and flintlock, none survive intact, they have all been converted to percussion. It would make an interesting rifle!
