Not a single comment of this master piece? Cmon guys ! I know its LSx and not made in usa but check out the awsome work on chassis, cosworth BDA engine and custom made wooden look a like wheels.

That was funny as hell. I laughed my ass off.
I could only imagine having to tell my buddies a Model A
just burned my ass.

I am absolutely awestruck, i checked out the companys HP and the level of craftmanship is just amazing, there is an ex-group B rallycar that recieves a full restoraton.. its nothing short of perfect..

and as for that ford A, its just is an amazing build, wonder how it handles, i think id find it a bit hair raising, although the suspension is not stock... i still think it is one scary ride...

The car was build for world rally car championship driver Juha Kankkunen and all details has been taken to the max. Even the shocks are custom made for stock looks but with performance valving. I believe it handles quite good.

OK...

that thing is AWESOME.

Fantastic workmanship and the "period correct" treatment of the engine bay is great!

That is VERY cool and impressive work.

I love what they did with the engine to make it look period correct and those wheels! 9" rear and

The whole car is really well done.

It does look like a scary ride with the solid front axle, but you could have too much fun with something like that. Damn, get dressed up like a cranky old man and then bury people!

I can see it now - "Well my grandfather wants to do some street racing with his model A, he thinks it's fast, what kind of money you guys have on you?"

Very neat - thanks for sharing.

Hello John! I higly value your opinion as an professional builder as well. The car belongs to famous rally car driver Juha Kankkunen and i am sure he can do the the twisty roads faster than average joe with corvette with this A ford. I wish i had more info how this car performs and what kind of surprises it has given on the road

Well I've always been a strong believer that "A car is only as fast as you're willing to drive it" and I'm sure he's both willing (and able!) to drive it REALLY fast.

The more I looked at that car, the more I was liking it.
Definitely an awesome ride!
