Description
Today we're turning an old Matchbox Model A into a full-blown inline-six hot rod.
What started as a simple restoration quickly turned into an engine swap, custom hood modification, grille replacement, wheel upgrade, experimental window tinting, and a custom orange paint job dusted with gold.
The result is a gasser-inspired Model A with plenty of attitude, big tires, exposed carburetors, and a vintage hot rod look that feels right at home on the drag strip.
Sometimes the best builds happen when you start cutting first and asking questions later.
