This gallery is of the front end and other parts from the front. Everything is now primed and painted, just don't have any pictures of the front end itself yet. 
 
Justin was up for the weekend and we did some work on the Coupe. This day we took the springs apart. 
 
I am very fortunate that my girlfriend's grandfather has a shop in town where I will be doing my restoration. It is the same shop that he and his family did restorations on a 1928 Tudor Sedan, 1931 Tudor Sedan and a 1930 Roadster. All of which are still in the family. 

After the car was at the shop we successfully pulled the motor and transmission, although it may have not been the most convenient way to pull a motor, we managed.

The day finally came after a long winter to actually get the motor running. After putting in new spark plugs and a new wiring harness, plus some rigging up of a mock gas tank, it started up no problem. 

Heres the video of the first run.

Before the snow fell I had decided to pull the body off the frame to get a good look at everything. 
 
This is the day that I brought the Coupe home this past November.

This is where my 1930 Coupe had sat for years and years before I got it in my hands. For my first while of posting on this website, I will be playing catch up from when I first purchased the car, to where I am at now.

Stay tuned.

    I am 23 years old from Parry Sound, Ontario. I have been around Model A's for the last few years and got the bug last year after graduating college. I decided that I wanted my own project to work on, and set out to find a my favourite style of Model A, 1930 Coupe. 

    In November of 2012 I purchased my coupe. My own Model A journey had begun! 

    I am very fortunate to have a group of experienced people in my family who have five Model A's, four of which were restored by themselves. Help like this gives me the knowledge needed to get my car finished.
