**Disclaimer: In this video I say that Bratton’s sheet metal is of inferior quality to Brookville (Antique Auto Sheetmetal). Bratton’s doesn’t make ANY panels; they are only a parts supplier. Bratton’s sells both Antique Auto Sheetmetal (Brookville) pieces, AND a less expensive product. I did not specify that I wanted the Brookville panels, which come at a premium, and therefore I received the lesser quality pieces, presumably by default (I wasn’t offered a choice outright). There is nothing wrong with Bratton’s as a supplier; just make sure you ask for Antique Auto Sheetmetal, and/or Brookville brand panels by name when you purchase from them.**
Hello!
I’ve been working on this REALLY rough Ford Model A Roadster body for quite a while, posting pictures on The HAMB and on my Instagram account ( @rev_casey_james ), but I figured I’d make a quick video to formally introduce the project. Stay tuned at the end of the video for a photo slide show of the project so far, feel free to comment and let me know what you think, and please hit that “LIKE” and “SUBSCRIBE” button if you want me to post more videos like this in the future!
Here’s a link to the HAMB build thread:

Will be following you closely - Picked up a '28 Roadster ( which looks like Matt's " Sweet Heart Roadster " minus the top) back in late August. So, a lot of work ahead. Had '30 Coupe 24 years ago. Will appreciate all that you SHARE in building you roadster

Thank you, and welcome aboard, rsCruiser. Matt is a wealth of information. I’m fairly close to getting back on my roadster project, but I’ve got several videos for you in that playlist, in the meantime. These roadsters are fun projects, and not terribly difficult (so far!?) to put together. Feel free to ask any questions, along the way. Thanks again!

I have been following build on HAMB, lots of great information and this film is just brilliant. My neighbour and I are starting an AV8 roadster we have a good 28 frame 59a, v8 axles etc., a coupe cowl, some rough roadster doors and rear quarters, no sub rails. Your film really helps to locate things , to see what we don't have but also a great incentive. Thanks so much. Gordon from Scotland.

Awesome, Gordon, that’s exactly the reason I’m documenting everything, and I’m glad to hear the information is useful. 😊 Stay tuned to the build thread, as I will go more into depth there. There are still quite a few things to place in relation to the door strikers, and what not. There are also differences in the way some of these aftermarket parts fit, versus how the original parts were fit from the factory. Particularly the way a car goes together with some of the pieces from Bratton’s. Thanks again for watching and following along. I’ll try to keep posting videos (they’re a lot of work).

Martin! I know you saw my IG post. New content is coming. We hope to be moved into the new place by mid-September. 😊 The garage is 1,200 sq-ft.

This video doesn’t show the amount of time and frustration you have into this body. Strong work!

I tell you, the video thing is a double-edged sword. I wish I had been shooting all along, because the videos are way more well-received than I had anticipated, BUT, in the two months I have been making videos, I have accomplished much less than I did the two months prior. I need a camera man, and an editor. 😂

I was jealous enough when this thing got the garage spot, but the fact that you’re literally building a whole car...from scratch, before you build me a roof rack just adds insult to injury. 😊 -Jim the Excellent Adventurevan

Were you happy with the quality of your subrails? Who you get em from?

@crazycaseyscustoms 3 жыл бұрын

They’re “ok”. I believe that they were the Howell’s pieces (purchased from Bratton’s, via Sacramento Vintage Ford). They didn’t match up very well with the Brookville sub rail extensions I bought later. If there’s a moral to the story, it’s don’t mix and match sheet metal vendors.
