Hello from Fargo/Moorhead
« on: September 20, 2012 11:14 am »
Hello everyone Thanks for allowing me into your group. My name is Steve and I'm building a model A coupe. I became aware of Suedes car club through Ross several years ago and thought of your group the other day while working on my car and surfing for some expertise. My "A" is pretty rough, picked it up I guess as a "coupester" awhile ago and haven't done anything with it. Nows the time!  I have a running 8ba and some 35 ford spokes for it. I also picked up some parts in Brainerd a couple weeks ago to put the "Coupe" back in the coupester. Hoping to get some needed suspension parts in the next few weeks. I know I have a ton of work to do but would like to have it out next summer.
Thanks...

it's a 28 or 29 I'm not sure, the number on top of the frame rails pretty pitted, I don't know if it'll ever be readable. The parts I picked up in Brainerd, a pillar,doors roof and misc stuff came from the 29 special coupe. I tried posting a couple pictures but it kept giving me an error message, maybe later..
Thanks

I checked the gas tank when I got home and that one is pretty tough to make out also, almost looked like " 8 2 30" or 2 30 or 2 2 30  I'll probably check it out better this weekend but it's pretty lightly stamped. The number on the frame appears to be five digits in length so probably early 28..

Tried to post pics again and it gives me some security risk error.. is there a size and format I should be uploading in?

Welcome!  If you're posting from a phone maybe try from a computer to upload pics.

Thanks, but was using my computer both times. May have to try my phone later see if it that works.

A `30s tank will NOT fit a `28-29.  But you can swap frames on all 4 years. Sure hope you can get som pics posted, that would help.

The tank has to be 28-29 it was all bolted together and complete when I got it. Still unable to post pics.

Are you trying to post pics from your phone? I think there might be an issue with that.
