I know it aint no Harley or a chopper but I think this one deserves to git its face posted at Dingers . Just got it last night !! She is a 1931 Model A 5 Widow Coupe . Been sittin in a shed for the last 30 years or so . She costed me sum jack but I think it was well worth it  

Aw man Shawn, nice find. Are 'ya gonna keep it a rat rod or  ?   That will keep you in the garage and away from hooters for awhile.

Well Free Man for now I just want to get it runnin so I can play a little while . Prolly not gonna do a whole lot to it except a good coat of black primer and box the frame in the pressure points run a painless wirein harness . You know a full out Rat for awhile . Atter I finish playin we will go back and start doin it the right way then . You know start purtyin things up and put a nice coat of paint , purty wheels , nice interior . Just make a full out street rod out of it . But for now .... I is gonna drive it like I stole it !!!!!

OH HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To KEWL man.

Thanks Dinger ! I am gonna try and document with pics every step of the way . For one I would like a photo album of the project and two for you guys to see also and possibly even give me a hand with . Wish me luck boys I am goin in !!!

Glad you approve ther Skoot

I like the primer/rat rod idea, plus ya git a chance ta work the bugs outa it. I gotta a old merc flathead  
sittin back up north just waiting for something like your barn find.

You ought to make a Hot Rod Lincoln out of it.  Just listen to the song and put it all in.  The engine would be one of those big flatheads ford used to put in the trucks and the Lincoln.

ohhh thated be so schweeeettt   what motor is in it shawn i mean i know its a small block chevy but a 350 327 283    thems some old lookin valve covers hott daymit boy ya need to move closer so i can come over to play

The motor that is in it is shot . Big time BUMMER cause it is one of the old 300 horse 327 . The guy that put it together from the looks of things built the engine and bolted it to the frame and never put a drop of oil in it because the motor is purty much rusted solid . The oil pan is rusted slam off of it . it might build I dont know hattin got inside it yet but if the insides look anything like the bottom side of the crank or heads ( took one of the valve covers off yesterday ) it prolly a total loss . I know it is stuck .The heads will build and they da gooduns too . Original double hump 300 horse heads but will have to be completely redone . Yeah I toyed with the Flat Head power plant . Dont know if I got the patience for a Flatty though More pics to come real soon !!!!

When ya take the heads off have them Magna Fluxed.  As long as they aren't cracked and no one has hogged the crap out of them (cut past the point of no return on the seats and vavle guide area) they can be reclaimed.

One of my suppliers has some great trick valves for Chevies that are .030 oversized EVERYWHERE.  Stem, head, length everything is biggers.  They work perfect for cutting back and reclaiming these old heads.  Complete set of hard seats, new guides, and a decking possibly and they will be goodder than new.

Even if the block has rust in it, if the cylindar walls aren't pitted to bad it can be brought back to life too.  I don't subscribe to grinding cranks and putting oversized bearings in so I would throw the old one into the scrap pile anyway.  AND sence ya scrap that ya might as well put in a 383 stroker.....

OR

Find a flatty....lol

Let me ask around up here.  There may be a couple of old Merc or Lincoln flatties layen around.
