Yep, the inside frame as Barry said. Makes it pretty easy, huh?

deja-vu, just saw this on the HAMB. Still wish I could go:D

There is your problem. No matter what type of paint you use, it will not adhere properly if the surface isn't clean. You need to bust out the grinder with a roloc disc and grind it to bare metal, clean it and shoot it with hi-temp.

Look at it this way; at least they're being kept on the road and not crushed. I like stock Model A's, but they're not my passion. Honestly, I love hot rods and customs. I feel like nothing looks cooler than a chopped model A, and it's not because I can't afford a 32, or to restore an A to...

Can I ask why?

I had the same issue too. The guy I bought it from globbed on about a half a tube of RVT and wrapped a piece of a robe around it... I pulled it out and took it to the radiator shop and they charged me I think $30 to clean it off, find the leak, and repair it.

I'll take people with too much time on their hands for $300, Alex.

HAMB or chevytalk.com

I have one that is just a simple rectangular cast piece that says "MODEL A" all big on the side. Which one is that?

Very cool. Nothing like pulling an ol girl out from the tomb and bringing her back to life.

Great looking car. Have fun with it!

Post this up over on the HAMB in the classifieds "wanted" section. Plenty of guys over there running their hot rodded A's without hoods.

^ I've heard that Delo no longer has zddp. I use a valvoline racing oil that has a big yellow sticker on the front that says "ZDDP, contains zinc"

Wow, those are cool.

Absolutely! Good thread. I fell in love with this one recently and was lucky enough to drive it home:
