  • WTB model a sedan. Building a traditional style rod.

    Just curious if anybody else is into street rods / traditional hot rods. I'm looking to start a build and need a car. I'm looking for a model a sedan. Must be a two door and have a solid body. If you know or have something pre 1935, let me know.

    Thanks

    not sure of your price range and what is fair for a model A. This one has been restored and is in Potterville, MI

    EDIT: This is the first one i found in Michigan. More searching and I realized there are a couple on craigslist.

      Don't know of one, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for you...

      As an option, it may be cheaper/easier just to buy a repopped frame and glass cab than re-do an original, unless of course it's more about the journey in getting it done than the finished product...

        Whats your budget? I know the guy who organizes the hot rod area for autorama every year.

          [MENTION=3539]69LS1[/MENTION] Thats a nice car, i'd hate to cut it all up.
          [MENTION=470]81DaytonaPaceCar[/MENTION] Thanks for the heads up. I've looked into the speedway kits (especially the tribute T) and would love to do it. The only issue is that I'm not sure if I can fit in the thing! I'd hate to buy and build this kit just to be uncomfortable as all hell in it. With the Sedan, i can still get the chop / channel I want and have comfort by moving the seat back. I'll be hanging my arm out the back window like a boss
          [MENTION=709]bri2203[/MENTION] Appreciate you looking out man! I know you probably see and hear of lots of goodies through the shop. I'm honestly looking at 3000 tops. I'm trying to find a complete car (or as close to it as possible). I've found them on craigslist in the past from anywhere between 1000 and 3500 in the condition i'm looking for. I just SMH at some of these people on craigslist that think they're sitting on gold with these things. Because of my height I need a 2 door sedan. My plans are to rake chop, channel, slam it with a modern 4.6 and drive it everywhere.

            A friend of mine has one about a mile away from me, it's a pretty nice looking surf rod. Not sure if he will let it go but I'll ask him for you.
