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!

Excellent work.


I did get a great chuckle out of period correct look and the kick a$$ performance. ha Couldn't you see Grandpa pulling up to the line in his Model A and then run the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds!!!!
