Another Model A destroyed

[Tom Wesenberg Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Tom Wesenberg]

Something this ridiculous doesn't even deserve air time, but what a waste of a Model A.
Can this even be street legal?
There's no way to see what's in from of you.
It can't be comfortable, nor safe, and I wonder how much money was wasted to make this monstrosity?

That has got to be one of the ugliest "Model A's" I have ever seen. Even the color is ugly. YUCK! What a shame.

You would not be able to see where you are going. Unsafe at any speed.

What a piece of ART, beautiful !
like a fine points car can't be driven !
To each his own, sum will not paint an original, sum will make better than new
destroyed? maybe maybe not.
What did they start with ? A body that had been removed and left to rot ?
We should applaud one who saves an rusty piece and turns it a diamond !

Another prime example of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"

Whether we like it or not its his vehicle to do as he pleases. I don't care for this vehicle but reality is there is large group building rat rods and its growing.

You are correct, and we are allowed to comment on whether we feel it is a fine piece of engineering or garbage.

Will someone please explain what all the stuff is on top of the valve covers. That's the only thing i recognize except the exhaust pipes and white walls.

A supercharger, two 4 barrel carbs, an air box, and 3 large air scoops.
What a mess. Also see how high the crank pulley sets. They tranny must be taking up most of the front seat area.

Here's the new listing.

I never understood chopping the roof down. I have to hunch down to see the red light change as it is with stock. Some of these chop jobs, you'd have to lower the seat so low to see out, your arse would be dragging on the pavement.

I agree. I never could understand why anyone would want less room in an already tight compartment, and this even applies to newer cars, like in the 50's. I never liked the looks of chopped tops, let alone the expense of doing it.
