Ajay Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 This is another project that's been on & off the bench a few times - at the moment I seem to have a thing for hot rods so it's been dusted off and is back on the workbench again. It's the AMT Model A Roadster on the AMT Phantom Vickie frame together wth a Model Car Garage resin tracknose & Pegasus rims. It may just end up as a kerbside due to space limitations with the hood - sorry the pics not the best. Thanks for looking Andy
MonoPed Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 That's gonna look cool!! What about dropping a hopped up, modern twin-cam four banger under that hood?
Raul_Perez Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Very nice, Andy!! The Pegasus Big-n-Littles look perfect on that car!!
Paul Payne Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 How about an Offy? Should be able to pirate one from an AMT indy car, or maybe find an Etzel's? Or- how about a model t four banger with vintage speed equipment- maybe a Fronty DOHC setup?
mikelo Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Glad to see you working on this one again. I think youll be surprised to see what actually fits in there, although I think I would tend to lean towards a four banger (like monograms SVO turbo motor- I have plans for mine) or a straight 8 would be cool and different. Keep us posted.
MikeMc Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what # are those wheels ?
Ajay Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what # are those wheels ? Thanks Mike I'm pretty sure the part numbers for the Chrome T's are PGH1274 for the fronts & PGH2301 for the rears (19" & 23" respectively) Cheers Andy Edited February 23, 2008 by Ajay
Ajay Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 Well after rooting around in my spares box the only suitable engine I've managed to come up with is the 302 from the R-M 32 Ford 3 window . To make it fit the AMT frame was fairly straightforward - just a case of removing the existing mounts and replacing them with the R-M engine mounts slightly shortened. The engine will be OOB except for the air cleaner and valve covers which are from the Model Car Garage Edelbrock engine dress up kit (MGC-2250). As the stock fanbelt assembly is too wide I've replaced the pulleys with ones from Replicas & Minatures - still got to figure out a bracket to hold the altenator. Sorry for the pic quality - they're sharp on my computer but "fuzzy" when I upload them. Thanks for looking Andy

Mike
dub Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Looks good! That 302 is cool. Thats why small blocks are so popular today; because they fit really well. Keep the updates coming!
Gray Smith Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Nothing wrong with the 302, with some work they look good too, thats why I went with the 302 on my 32 roadster. I can't wait to see more of this Ajay, its already shaping up to be one of your usual great builds. Keep up the great work Gray
mikelo Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Nice to see a ford in a ford every once in a while. Looking good so far.
Ajay Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys - I haven't made a great deal of progress on this one as I've been busy with the chopped & chanelled 32, however I've had a change of heart on the engine - I'm going to use this 4 Weber set up with the stock Ford Motorsport valve covers. IMO it looks better as it has a bit more height to it and looks more aggressive than the previous arrangement. Cheers Andy
dub Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Oh YEAH! Webers rock! Now that looks dynamite. Keep it coming!
