Wow, I dont even know what to say. The skill, time and attation to detail involed in a project like that is crazy.

Complete frame off restoration of a model A ford. For racing, tops out at 200MPH, according to dyno printout.

Wow, it's amazing what can be done when one has the right tools and a nice shop, and the skill and dedication. That's what my Dad does all day, except at the moment it's a 69 Boss 302, not a Model A, They should have made it 4WD! jk

Unreal. I know they made most of 'em, but wonder where they got some of those parts?!!

Though I haven't seen those pictures, I find it excruciatingly hard to believe that a flathead 4banger powering a brick can do 200 MPH. If it doesn't have a flathead 4banger, it's not a Model A, and the project is certainly not a "restoration."

And a dyno sheet doesn't tell you top speed. Wind resistance is dominant over about 50 MPH.

Even if it could go 200 mph, I'm not sure I would want to go that fast with that suspension setup. They did a beautiful job on it though, I especially like the rims.

Top speed is 200 kilometers per hour, or 125 mph. That thing is a work of art. The wheels alone are amazing. It's powered by a Ford Cosworth DBA rally 4 cylinder that's made to look like it could be a stock engine. Only the interior and exterior were restored to stock. The rest is like the wheels, amazing.

Check out the video. I couldn't help but giggle a little. This thing is the ultimate sleeper.

Very nicely done i must agree, those guys are pro's drafted plans for CNC machines. Would be nice to have a shop set up like that Couple million should do it

That's the most bitchin model A I've ever seen. The cosworth 4 banger sounds wicked.

They had it in Hot Rod magizine, they even have it set up to drop every fourth fire at idle, so it still kinda stumbles around like the original Model T engine.

It is incredible what they did, which is making a Model T into a fairly modern car and making it look like it came that way from the factory.

That is just amazing. Such much time and effort put in it. Even thou it is not a restoration, but a build-up. Just to make it look like stock from every bolt is truely amazing. They even used chicken wire for the roof, which is orignal.

My relatives in Kansas have a orginal Model A Ford. Still runs and its something to aww at times. Truely something about the vintage cars that brings a tear to some.
