About my Model A

This car was built by a guy from Springboro, Ohio, it was sold to an English guy who used it for a few years in the States before he shipped it back to the UK in 1998, it was hardly used over the next 8 years, I bought the car in May 2007 and am planning a few changes over the coming winter months.
I would be very interested in contacting the original builder whose name I have but wasn't sure about posting it in here.
6th Sept 2008  
New Photo's added after updates carried out to car.I have over the last 3 months repaired all the wings and running boards inc bobbing the rear fenders, New 10" 31 Model A Stainless headlights and a 32 Stainless Vintique Grill insert. The Jag IRS was rebuilt with new bearings, poly bushes in lower wishbones,discs pads etc and then the paint was removed from driveshafts and wishbones and these were then chromed.
On the engine side the intake was replaced for a n Edelbrock Endurashine Performer manifold and Endurashine Carb along with fitting all new Aeroquip hoses for fuel lines etc
Future plans are for a full respray, colour to be decided?
