This past summer we stripped the Model A down to the ground and started cleaning and repainting. I had the frame bead-blasted and powder coated black and it turned out well. Clean and neat. Now starts the process of reassembling everything. We power washed the axles and replaced some damaged brake lines (upgraded hydraulic brakes) and cleaned the drum and replaced the worn brake shoes. Repainted everything gloss black and reinstalled.
In this photo you see the motor in the foreground with the finished frame in the background. I have decided to upgrade the head from the original 4.2:1 ratio to a high compression 6.5:1 ratio head. (purchased from Steve Salazar in La Verne) Steve will also be grinding my cam to Model B standard in order to accommodate the higher compression of the new head.
