My parts list so far

[LRS30]

Ahhhhh....shucks.....Thanks... Let me know if I can be of any help.

Ron

Hell, you have helped so much already... But I will for sure ask you many many questions as I start the build..

 

[LRS30]

OK I finaly started on this thing, I installed my Model A rear cross member here are a few pic's..

Started here...

added a little more steel to finish the look..

Ground it down and finished it out.(Also welded the underside and installed a gusset)

another angle

Finished product..

Also changed my mind on the wheel's going with these all the way around Mid 30's Plymouth Artillery wheel's.. Need to more if anybody has any

 

[tfeverfred]

Thanks for the update. You do really good work. There's a swapmeet I'm going to Sunday, I'll keep an eye out for the wheels.

i think i would use por-15 on your frame when you are ready for paint it will kill the rust

 

[LRS30]

I'm gonna sand blast it then use 3M's etch prime, then continue filling all the pit's with Dolphin glaze, then a couple of coats of 3M's URO prime...I've never used the POR 15 heard good stuff about it, but I'm fron the old school of blasting the rust away...MESSY But functional..

Those A rear cross members are a natural for a modified. If you were to add a gusset to the inside and add the outer 3" of the pieces you cut off, it would look like this:

 

[LRS30]

Yhea I thought long and hard before I lopped off the end's But after it was all said and done, I was pleased with the ends gone,(my.02) I was just affraid it would look like the flying nun from the rear with the ears sticking out there...I still have them and actualy tacked them on but was a no go..

 

[Youngster]

OK... I've been thinkin'...scarey I know... I don't know what you're planning for tail lights but here's some food for thought. A pair of '32 lights on the '32 stands would look bitchin' off to the sides of the rails at the xmember. Just a wild brain fart.

I have an early T Tail Lamp I was planning on using but if you wanna graciously donate the above mentioned i would cetrtainly be more than happy to pop them babies on there....That would look killer....

 

[VegasBruce]

Nice job on the cross member. But man thats a lot of grinding dust on the floor.

 

[Youngster]

I don't have any but my brother is into '32 Fords. I can ask him to look around if you like.

Fronts 450-16


Rears 750-16

Just picked them up last week, cannot wait to pop them on the rim's....I need to come up with a paint scheme real soon, so I can get my rims ready...I'm scouring my saved pictures, photo albums the web looking at old Sprint Cars, Indy Roadster's looking for a racey vintage scheme.. So far the wife likes Porshe Red with Shoreline Biege (early vette dash color) read body reverse scallop on the front with biege wheel's and engine... I'm so done with read my last 3 bikes I built were red (got a killer deal on mis-tints at the local paint shop), But I have to admit I think it will look good.. Any Ideas?Not like I am painting anytime soon, I'm still in mock up but I need an Idea so I can paint the wheel's...Ryan

 

[Youngster]

I don't like to pick a paint scheme in mock up. It's kinda like sayin' our new baby is gonna be named Sue no matter if it's a boy or a girl. I like to wait 'til the car tells me want color it wants to be.

What a cool comment. I've been sitting here beating my head against the wall trying to decide on color and you've now made it much easier.

 

[LRS30]

I've been building this car in my head for years, But never been set on paint, I've kicked around all Black everything black.. But I have always build all my project around color scheme's.. It usually work's for me. I'm the kinda guy that like's to have all my I's dotted and T's crossed before I ever turn a wrench, thats why this build is totally differnt, cause I am using parts as I find them, totally out of character for me..But nothing is set in stone, maybe I will prime the wheel's and settle on a color latter...Tommorow is another day..

 

[all-world1]

I originially thought of all black myself, but I am leaning toward something like a dark red, nothing too bright.

You did a real nice job on that rear crossmember, and I think black would almost hide it....might be something you'd want to accentuate with color.

 

[donsrods]

I never really know what color my car will be until I walk into the paint store and plop down my money, then I am committed. Like Youngster said, the car will tell you how it wants to be as the build progresses.
