1931 Ford Model A Dragster Rat Rod Project

1931 Ford Model A Description

1931 Ford Model A Coupe with a clean Florida title as a 1931 Ford Model A Coupe.

This car may be registered as a 1931 but the car is brand new. I really don't like the term rat rod but that seems to be what most people are calling these cars now. So, here I am too. The only "used" parts on the car is the body, the axle housing, the transmission casing and the engine block. Ill start from the front and work my way to the back.
