A few months ago Bob literally carried pieces of a car into the shop, we now have an actual rigid body, frame and drive train. What most people in the hotrod community call a basketcase and walk away from, Bob weaved it into one bad bread basket.

Had to laugh------ When Bob started rolling those beads I said out loud: "Roll That Beautiful BEAD Footage!"

I see the wisdom of making the firewall in two pieces, but getting them to come out exactly the same had to have been a giant PITA!! Nice job. Don had enough sense to get out of New York. Good for him! Living with a dictatorship kind of rubs us all the wrong way.

I lived in Winston Salem North Carolina for five years, and only came back to New York State because my step daughter had a baby girl and my own father began having heart problems!! Every day since I miss living in the south and miss the times and friends I had down there!! I never really met a lot of people mind you, but those I did meet were just wonderful folks!!! Of course what a lot of people don't understand too, is the town in New York I live in is a farming community just south of Ithaca New York and Cornell University known as Danby!! It is basically a "hick town" and I grew up on 15 acres with my baby brother and our parents!! I had a dirt bike and always dreamed of building cars like these!! BUT my folks always stood in my way, because (in their words) they "Didn't want a pile of junk sitting in their door yard!"!! The crazy thing was, I was not allowed to buy cars, park cars (on their land) or store cars at their house!! BUT my baby brother was allowed to do all that and more!!! I am of course the black sheep of the family.....so there is that!!

The three orobg straight cut metal shear was invented by a guy named Al Swink after WW2. His first invention after the war was the car wash. It was featured in Look Magazine. He used surplus B-17 superchargers as the air blowers. The shear changed metal shaping forever. Both he and his wife became mayors of Santa Monica, Ca. He had a long and very interesting life.

Beautiful well thought out car, please think about suspended pedals. You'll have more foot room in the cab, if I didn't have the stock gas tank in my Model A it would have suspended pedals, that way you wouldn't have to cut a hole in the floor to check on fluid level or add a remote reservoir.Whatever you decide is good by me. Your car is a work of art.

@RatRodBobBuilds 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for that comment! There's a few things to think about with suspended pedals. Where are you gonna put the master cylinder? Hanging off the fire wall for all to see is not acceptable. Under the dash will work but it's a PITA to do and you would have to have an access hole in the cowl to fill it. No to mention, all the bracing you would have to do in a little tight space to make it strong. But I do agree it would make for more room to rest your feet.

i want u to know i been practicing your weld stitches, I've used plenty of sheet metal off of old school buses. just got me a 33 Ford truck, no drivetrain and the bottom 6" is pretty much gone., even the frame is weakened by rust. love your channel Bob and i appreciate your time showing us tips and tricks of the trade. thank you..

Here's something to try on your Model A coupe paint. Use the yellow for a base and try a reddish brown to give a distressed look. I think it would be cooler than the black...just my 2 cents. You may or may not like it. Love watching.
