1931 Ford Model A Hot Rod

Description

1931 Ford Model A Street Rod

This is a reproduction of the Model A that I built when I was 16. This car has the same type of Blown Hemi engine and is set up for street or strip racing. My original Model A sat outside for four years while I was serving in Vietnam. The engine froze and busted the side out of the block and vandals stole many of the parts. Raising a family and building a career prevented me from fixing all of the problems and I sold what was left of the car. When I turned 55 I was able to build another one that was much better than my original car. No expense was spared in building this truly unique and outstanding Hot Rod. It competed in Americas Best Hot Rod Competition in Indianapolis last year and was a top ten finalist against some of the best Hot Rod Builders in the country.
