I found this car as a render mockup on Speedhunters I don’t know how long ago.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
saw these and decided to make one. This is a 1930 Model A that has been chopped, dropped and be-winged with an F1 inspired setup. He has since sold this car to a gentleman here in Dallas that is in the process of moving the radiator to the front. I genuinely hope he fully realizes the potential of the build gets it running right. I also hope he leaves the aesthetic alone because this car is perfect. I’d love to see this thing at a Rice Killer meet or Cars & Coffee.
Personally I think it’s cool to have an S2000 engine in a Model A with a rear mounted radiator that has a functional air scoop, but hey, his car now. Also, I don’t know how well realized this thing is mechanically. I just think this thing is badass looking. Those huge MT drags and the flat out mean stance is definitely unique.

This makes up for over 100 stanced Golfs and Civics. Maybe 150.

Considering it isn’t slammed to the ground, I’d say it’s even functional. Cancels out at least 500 stanced VAG products.

That. Is stance perfection.
Also, look at the last pic; the car in the background must have a broken suspension part, I hope they had AAA.

Yeah, the weight of the first impression with the Model A broke something.

Reminds me of the Jet Hot SEMA car, which is also amazing.

I am not a rod or stance-guy, but boy does that thing look cool. Would love to see it with some kind of oldschool F1 livery, Hesketh would look awesome.

It’s polarizing, but I think it works. Not really functional but ties the F1 aesthetic together.

Yeah, but I believe that he could’ve gone a little softer on the F1 theme.
The stance of the car is perfect when you look it from the front. The wing and air intake feel like a bit too much and kinda tacky, even.
That’s just me, of course. As you said, it’s polarizing.
But this absolutely serves as good inspiration for a potential project.

I think that’d the big deal here. It makes a helluva statement just sitting there.
