Our Cars (dream or actual)

[natehate]

so i bought a 31 ford model a 5 window coupe

not sure why it's sideways

[Giles]

I don't really care which way it's up.  How much to take it off your hands? 

[seanocono]

Very cool, nate.

[Seul]

Holy cow that's awesome Nate  ???

[mahlon321]

that's so rad @natehate. any plans to tear into it? or just drive it? congrats

[natehate]

@Giles i'd be into selling it for the right price

@mahlon321 yeah i hate the grill, i hate the paint, i hate the engine, i hate the mismatched rims and tires, i hate the stock cast mustang 2 a arms in the front suspension. so yeah i got some plans

[mahlon321]

excellent, sounds like you're in for a bit of fun then!! I hope you take pics, I'd be stoked to see the un-build/re-build.
Is it pretty clean or are you in for a ton of rust removal?

[den1mhead]

that ford is blowing my mind @natehate, fuckin' awesome 

[Megatron1505]

Well I guess it's a little bit cooler than our Nissan….. slightly 

[natehate]

@mahlon321 its a mostly fiberglass car
glass tub, hood, grill shell
real doors oddly enough and hood side panels (so weird)
theres a lot of undoing other peoples work to be done
i want it to run it no fenders
and some brainiac decided to fiber glass the fenders right to the body and make it smooth
so that could be a nightmare
the tail lights have to go and the big holes they will leave need to be glassed in
the steering set up is umm interesting
so thats gonna need attention
the interior isn't to bad
i actually kinda like it, minus the purple rope in the windows

[mahlon321]

Well @natehate at least the main bit is solid and straight. (hopefully)
It's so strange that of all the things that are still metal, it's the doors. I'd have figured they'd be anything but metal 
and fenderless is just rad. too bad you're gonna have to go digging and cutting to get them off!
I kinda like digging through the timeline of other peoples projects, always good for a laugh or a face palm
good luck man!

the biggest what the fuck on this car is the engine and trans combo

Well…....? Whats it got

[natehate]

@pillowPANTS:

Well…....? Whats it got

4 cylinder pinto… with a cam
hahaha
but it's mated to a c4 auto trans
so a sbf should be a fairly easy swap (but painful for a chevy/mopar guy)

@natehate That car is something else…love it

Weird for sure. How small ford are you going? 289, 302, 351 maybe?

very drivable is the goal
