I don't begrudge anyone who wants to run a flathead. They just sound so mechanical and cool.

[@gearbanger57]

Gotta love "I lost my shit, I had to get it" been there, done that. Nice hot rod.

[@sokodad]

This is perfect. Love this car.

[@balajiiyengar4]

The sweetest ride I've ever seen

[@mothertree]

You`re hooked LOL and I love it.I can see how much you enjoy this wonderful 31 Coupe.All the best my friend :o)

[@Crazy-Constructions]

love it 🥰 I like hotrods, but there is no place in my garage, so I built one for my living room in scale 2:3 with a Jukebox functionality 😅

[@tobymartin2507]

yes! more hotrod stuff please!

[@michaelhallas6450]

Flatheads have a nice sound also,nice car

[@fractalign]

Very nice indeed. No doubt about it, Models A's have become the hottest thing in rodding even more than 32's. In less than a year I have collected, enough parts to make up a 29 Sports Coupe body, a 30 pickup cab, and I am in the process of turning a cut down 28 Tourer into 29 Cabriolet with 30 Coupe doors. The fact that so many panels are interchangeable is a plus as well.

[@rarebreed6703]

Love it!

[@patrickseals5746]

Very cool model A.

[@indianbryan]

Love it, especially with the flattie. Do the radius rods go in board. What diff are you running. Bryan

[@indianbryan]

Also what front end mods, did you box the chassis, is it a flathead gearbox, sorry for all the questions, im dong a 30 model a roadster. Bryan

[@jeromebreeding3302]

Would you rather have the fuel tank in the rear where it would be vulnerable to rear end collision, and burst into flames like a Pinto ?

[@MrJeep75]

I love it.

[@MrJeep75]

Nice car

[@randykirchhevel7311]

Love FORD Power. Real Model As Have Ford engines not Chevy's.

[@barryphillips7327]

Very nice old hot rod, looks great runs really and no doubt you get some attn in a world with Toyota Prius, s and Honda,s etc etc, who would not look at your car ( unless they are gay, haha lol. )

[@danielbrealey2924]

What a beautiful Model A. The things I would do to own something like this. Anyone need some dirty deeds done?

[@garfellow5038]

"Audiojungle"

[@Tb-cl8hi]

You said ''Romantic'' :]

[@MrJeep75]

Bitchen car, I love it

[@barryphillips7327]

Real nice! But i think i,d change fuel location, in case of a bad accident, rather sit next to a bomb.

[@pappabob29]

Right!! Like those "Pinto's" that had a tank in the back. Would bet there were more fires and injuries with the rear mounted Pinto gas tanks than the front mounted Model A tanks. Even though there were almost 5 million Model A's made.

[@5959racer]

HAMB was bullsbhit

[@836dmar]

NOT a street machine IMO.

[@5959racer]

Lost interest when I was the HAMB tag,,,,,

[@specialized29er86]

Fiberglass is the answer today.

[@2manycatsforadime]

Get that gas tank to the rear

[@barryphillips7327]

The model T and A, that is where the factory fitted fuel is, then gravity feed to the carby, the four cylinder engines had up draft carby, just do not crash haha lol could have a fireball in front of you hmmm NOT good!

[@garytrimble8033]

Do you think it would be any better if he had the fire right behind him, think😮 about. The car is built right quit criticizing.

[@2manycatsforadime]

Wasn't criticizing, is was a concern. More than one person has been burnt badly from crashes. I had a teacher that as a young man had horrible burns to his hands and chest from such a crash.

[@2manycatsforadime]

Get that gas tank in back

[@MrJeep75]

Bob K apsolutley nothing wrong where's it's at
