    Yup - if I ever get to it. The engine is sitting on a rollaround cart just waiting for me...

    Looking good! Just curious: The upper radiator hose appears to go to the left side of the radiator, Nailhead lower hoses also are aimed for the left side. If both hoses are attached to the left side, I am concerned about cooling. What's up with that?

    Looking real good.
    About the only big thing I would do different is the front end.
    I know that the tube is strong, but a forged I beam seems stronger ( and I like the look) .
    Not knocking the build, just the only real thing I would do different.

    Are you keeping the steel wheels? I like the look of the steel wheels, with wide white walls.

    Smallest body and frame you can get with a freight train of a mill to pull it. What's not to love?

    I hope to be getting my '30 Model A 401 project back on track early 2013. My goal is to have it up and running by this time next year. Pics in my profile album.

    Love Hot Rods and Nailheads!
