First Model A 1930

A few more photos I picked up a new aluminum fan thanks for the tip from here I did not need a fan through my hood or me. Added the frame welt burned all the holes in it cleaned
and painted the body bolts. Added the body wood for now and added the fender brackets.
Iv'e said this before, seem's a shame to cover up all that nice chassis work.:D
 
That was my plan but I started to clean her up and the side panels had way to much mouse pee on them very stinky. I have started a ground on it.
Thank you for the welcome. I like that (Still learning after all these years.)Never stop learning.

My first model A was a 1930 coupe. It started as this (picture 1) and ended up as this (picture 2). I am sure yours will turn out even better. Enjoy the process of restoring it. For me, it may be lots of work, but is just as satisfying as driving it.

Oops! I already replied to this thread! I am getting OLD!!!

Spent many hours on grill shell polishing and riveting lacing. I made a tool to open the rivets works great with a second set to flatten them.

Impressive, you know what you are doing. I just bought my Coupe this January and have put 3500 miles on it so far and love every minute of it.
I am not mechanically inclined, the best source of knowledge and how to, has been my local Model A Club and the Restorer Magazine.
I hope you enjoy your car as much as I have mine.
