1931 Ford Model A

The Story

I’ve been going to car shows since I was a kid. Now that I have a grown-up job, I’m finally able to build what I actually wanted.

This Model A was a barn find. I put a 1959 Cadillac engine in it and a quick-change rear end. For the roof, I went with a flat steel panel instead of the traditional soft top.

The dash is out of a 1953 Buick. I had to buy several different dashes just to get all the original gauges, and I had to narrow the whole thing quite a bit to make it fit inside the Ford.
