Very nice "A." My dad is in the midst of restoring a five window "B.". Nice coupe!

 

Great looking ride Mike! You should take great pride in what you've built!

 

Congrat's Mike; great looking ride.

 

Thanks again guys for the kind words. We call the Model A "Jasper" after one of the blokes in the original 101 Dalmatians. What's ironic is enjoying that with the boys when they were much younger and seeing my youngest graduate from high school yesterday. Time flies but the name lives on. Jasper is a driver and we logged over 2000 miles on him last year including a 4 day trip to the tidewater area of Virginia with my aforementioned son. Classic cars are nice and get a fair amount of attention but I've never owned anything that turns heads like the Model A. Sometimes it's almost scary to see them driving alongside trying to take a picture with their camera phone. I get lots of smiles from people of all ages and it's fun to just take him out and run errands. It's been good having him in driving condition while our 52 F1 (Buckwheat) has been undergoing repairs/resto in the garage for the better part of a year. Thanks again.

 

Congratulations Mike!

That's one beautiful Model A.

 

Very cool ride!
