Sprayed the tub yesterday afternoon.







And mounted up my wheels




And pushed out in the sun this morning




And started on the wiring this afternoon. Using a harness intended for a hot rod so I am having to make a few changes to get what I want.

Looking very good... and you are making great progress!

Thanks but this has been about 2 years work. I just recently decided to post on here about it. But, this is to date now. I've been out working on running wires and other little things. Hope to do more tomorrow.

Almost have the entire thing wired. Getting pretty excited seeing it go together. Have all my lights in and wired. Gauges are all in and wired but waiting on my speedo cable and sending unit to complete the gauges. Wired the ignition and push button starter tonight. Hope to be able to fire it by the weekend.

Great job.:thumbsup: I wonder what the true value would be today? I'm sure for you it is priceless.

Well got lots more put together. Speedo is done, parking brake done, radiator done, hidden cut off switch for battery done, gas tank installed and sending unit done, all gauges seem to work, lights all work, engine turns over, no spark! Only thing I have not changed is the distributor cap. Maybe tomorrow.

With restored vehicles it is often a lack of ground... everything is painted which can make an excellent insulator... especially when using a good known coil and wire harness.

Thanks ultrarunner. You are right. I have checked but tomorrow I will check again.

I've had a few no spark when the Model A's are stored for a long time...

Running a business card back and forth in between the closed points is just enough to polish.

Enjoy the build pictures!
