Right now, I have a chopped and channeled 31 Model A Tudor and a 65 Ford Econoline Falcon Van.

Model A sounds kool, after selling my 37' Cabrio i was looking for either a A or B Sedan, nothing this side of the pond, but ended up buying a 39' Coupe from a guy in Livermore Cali. ex street/strip car from the 80's, used all this year, off the road now for new paint and fettling, post a pic of yours maybe

Here is a pic of it right before we channeled it.

I will track down some other pics shortly. The car is in my garage and will get on the road soon. I recently moved, so the car is on the back burner. I have to wrap up some wiring then I should be abel to fire it up again.

Here's my 350 Turbo 400, Halibrand quick changed '39 Ford. And Kane [my sons] '71 bug.

CCSurf that is a beautiful car. I may not be into muscle cars for myself, but WOW. Well done
Rod, the 39 is killer. I am thinking of trading off my A for a 39/40 Tudor. I am really looking for a little more room these days. I dig the Bug also.
More pics will come soon of the A. Like I said it is off the road right now due to the purchase of my new house. So it is beltline deep in boxes.

The 39's off the road now, currently i am striping it down for new paint and trim, paint going to be trad black'n'flames, new interior using gold metalflake and white vinyl and new wheels(either Radirs or ARE salt flats with the radial widewhites),
The 39' tows a small Eriba caravan, for hot rod shows and trips to Newquay, Cornwall.
Kanes Bug is a stock 1300, for insurance reasons, lowered on crager 5 spokes and thin band whites,

Guys it'ill be a while before any new shots, paint was going to be trad black'n'flames, having just had a quote for the flames i might have to change my mind, new upholstery and new wheels, but gotta get it back on the road for April when the show season starts,

what price you get charged for the upholstery, 2x front seats plus back?

Posted: **Sun Nov 06, 2005 3:32 am**

I cant wait to see it though

Posted: **Mon Nov 07, 2005 8:34 am**

Sponger a mate of mine Chris White (Dr Dub) is going to do the upholstery so no prices at the moment, he does a real good job, mostly on T25's etc, mines gonna be diamond stiched flake so a tricky one, will see,
