Lowered Lid



My friend Ryan decided to chop the top on his Model A. We took some pictures of it mid-summer and did a few more last night to show the new proportions.



I'm really fond of Ryan's car. It has a perfect stance, isn't flashy, doesn't have a bunch of unobtainable parts on it, and is motivated by an early small block Chevy. Flathead Fords, Hemis, Nailheads, and other rare motors are all neat, but when you break down 200 miles away from home there's something nice about walking into a parts store and knowing they have what you need to get rolling again. The small block Chevy is a common motor, where those others aren't.

I'm also fond of the location we used to shoot the car. It's right down the road from my house and to date, it's my favorite.
