    Finally Complete - My BMW-Powered 1928 Ford Model A

    It's been a year of hard work, but my 1928 Ford Model A is finally complete! :)

    This past weekend, Andrew, Geoff, and I took the truck out to El Mirage to shoot some photos and video, the only way I figured I could do the truck justice.

    I know there was a lengthy thread going on in off-topic about the truck already once it was spotted at bimmerfest, so I'm excited to finally share some proper photos and video of the car to you guys.



    Video:
    Mike Burroughs unveils his latest build: A 1928 Ford Model A Hot Rod with a BMW power plant towering out of the hood. What better way to celebrate than by kicking…














    If you'd like to see more, there's a full writeup of my journey through the build here:

    I'm excited to hear what everyone thinks - positive or negative! I know the reactions last week were seriously mixed, but I feel like that's a good thing. :)

            Looks 10x better covered in dust. Nice shots, and congrats on seeing the project through.

                    Now this is just my .02 which is not worth much, and to each his own, but I feel like if you did something to make the engine look a bit more old (maybe remove some of the plastic) it would work with the car better.
                    That said I dig what your doing!
