Model A Tourer

Here's one I did for a friend of mine
The tourer body was made up from a 29 A roadster pickup cowl and the 30 Phaeton tub
the rest of the parts are either scratchbuilt, modified or raided from my parts box.
I have used it for a feature in Aust Street Rodding Sept issue

Here's the Model A

That's one very cool model A Ford,great colour on it too.

Nice looking rod Chris. A great combination of style and colour. Well done!

Great work!! You've replicated that car perfectly!! Well done.

Great work Chris!

Very nice, loving the seat too, excellent job

It looks great,

Nice work on this - looks terrific.

VERY VERY NICE!! These replications are alot harder than a regular build i think, coz it HAS-TO be exact and spot on, a credit to you mate.

Looks great Chris but what's with the droopy headlamps?

I always figured it was only me had trouble with making them stick properly and point in the right direction.

Yea agreed, there's less 'artistic freedom' in a replica build. Extra props to you mate

Thanks for the comment guys

Poor execution Carps!!!!

I made a dropped headlight bar and test fitted - all well so far
Then glued the buckets to the bar, painted it with Alclad and , in a moment of stupidity, applied the super glue and put it on the car without dry fitting first.

What I forgot was that when I made the dropped bar, it moved the headlights in a fraction and they hit on the radiator surround. I wasn't game to pull them off in case they took paint with them. Model A headlights are so bad that they really only should point down at that angle anyway LOL

Chris

I really like this, particularly the different roof line. It works well with the rear of the tub. Thanks for sharing it with us

Stupidity, yet another thing I thought was soley my domain.

I love it that I see all the flaws when I try and replicate a real car but the owner never notices until I apologise for my mistake.

One day I'll learn to keep my mouth shut.

Real nice work - love the colour .

love the overall look of the car mate awesome work.
