1930 Model A "Murray Body" 3-Window  4Dr Sedan

 

1/18/06 - Dale has the chassis completed and is in process of sandblasting the body before completing the bodywork.

Dale brought the dash for the car to the club meeting. The dash was hand painted by a relative after he had sprayed the color on. Here's a couple of shots of the dash. The exterior color of the car will be the same as the dash.

a1 - This was the beginning.  a2 to b5 - These shots where made after the body was complete on the frame and Dale was ready to tear it down so it could be sand blasted before he started on the body work and paint.

The Billet wheels with new tires really look sharp, especially the fronts running under the '29 Fenders,, nice touch !

The rear fenders were widened in order to keep the tires within the confines of the fenders.

 

Congratulations Dale...Nice Job !!!

Note: This project is now reclassified as one of Dales current rides and is removed from project status.
