More progress on the Model A. Turns out, getting a Buick Nailhead into an otherwise stock Model A is not for the faint of heart. The frame, fenders, floorboards and transmission ALL required major alteration to achieve the fit you see in these photos. The ride height and stance have also been “adjusted” to my liking. A process which also required extensive reworking of the axles, and mounting points to achieve.

Next up is paint. The plan is a metallic Washington Blue with gloss black on the fenders. The interior will be saddle brown. I’m deciding on the wheel color currently, but am leaning towards a light yellow color called “straw” with matching pin striping of the body.

Body and fenders in paint, body fit to chassis has been finalized. Trying out a pinstripe that matches the wheels, which I really like. Just haven’t decided on whether I need more pinstriping yet. Still have the interior paint work to get done, then it’s on to details and final assembly.
