My wife, myself and our american bull dog Comet just got back from a couple miles east of Fargo North Dakota were we went to pick up this car. Not quite sure what we will do with it yet. It is a running and driving 1928 all steel Model A Roadster.

That car is real cool. I would drive it around "as is" until the build all charted out. Then hit it hard and make it something new. Very nice find!:cheers:

We are not sure what we want to do with it yet. We kind of like the way it looks now. We may leave it this way for awhile, get a few things fixed and make sure it runs down the road ok. I have ordered a few catalogs on parts. But then again I can see fixing it up with a nice ford V8, updated brakes & drive train, would be a nice street/rat rod. We have always wanted one.
Thanks

I like those old cars. My grandpa has an old 29A model, my uncle has a 32, my dad has a 20 something hut mobile. They are pretty cool to ride around in.
 
if you decide the rat rod out of it ask ratrod nick to build you a tunnel ram! lmao

Great find! Honestly, I wouldn't do anything radical to it. Get the mechanicals in tip-top shape, maybe work on straightening the body, and drive it. It's unique the way it is. Going the typical hot rod, or heaven forbid rat rod, route will take away from it's character and charm. Have fun with the new toy.

I agree also. I want to work on the mechanicals to make is safe. That tunnel ram set-up may be just a little too much for me!! My wife really likes the way it is now. Just want the weather to warm up so I can work on it. Looks good in the garage now though.
