How about a Speedster Picture Thread?

How about a "Speedster FORUM" far and away from this site which is dedicated to the restoration of stock original Model A Fords......Amen.

Let's not cut off our nose to spite our face. I am a long time Atomic Industries fan and supporter. While I am a recent member of The Barn, I am one of the original members of The Garage Journal (pre-Ryan) and an Alliance member since joining in 2007. I was a lurker on the HAMB for many years before joining.

Rule 1. Don't piss off Ryan by flagrantly breaking the rules of each forum.

That does not mean that Ryan and the moderators do not allow some leeway on the sites, but if you have been warned to stop, then stop.

Ryan has also been very open to suggestions regarding social groups, etc.. We don't quite fit at the HAMB as our cars are not really traditional rods or customs, and we are not really 100% welcome at The Barn as it has always been a site for for the care and restoration of stock autos (especially the A and T sections).

Maybe if we ask nicely, there may be an area somewhere in Ryan's sandbox that we will be allowed to play and discuss Speedsters. If you wish, I will take the point on this. js

How about we at least agree that we ALL love Model A's regardless of their condition. :)

Well said Brian. I have seen that Speedster at Lead East and IMHO it does not look like any tractor I have ever seen, and it was driven to the event.
 
While traveling through Virginia (or was it North Carolina?), we passed this one, only to meet again at the MARC Membership Meet in St Augustine.

Most home built speedsters look like modified tractors. They really look awful....

If your not interested in a certain topic in the forum skip over it, don't read it. Thats an easy fix to your problem. :)

What is the definition of stock original Model A Fords?
Click to expand...

Whose term is "stock original"? The definition of 'stock' in your sentence would likely be the adjective version meaning "ordinary". The definition of "original" would come for its root word which means "the point in which something begins". For something to be ordinary, it must mean it is "common" or of many, ...which the term original has the connotation that it is the first one by which others will copy. Maybe "Restored" was the word you were seeking a definition of...?

I really like this post. There are a lot of beautiful cars and some great ideas.

My project is progressing, but slower than anticipated, but here are some pics of what has been done to date.
