The Helmuth Brother’s Coupe

This car was my first attempt at building a Hot Rod. A 1930 Ford Model A Coupe. I was fortunate enough to build this car with the help of my Dad at my parents house in their attached 2-car garage over the course of about 6 years. We literally started from scratch on this one. I bought the frame off of a classifieds section of The H.A.M.B. and it took off from there. We sourced every single part of the car on the internet, in the newspaper, at countless swap meets and even hand-made quite a bit of parts ourselves. It was a dream of mine to be able to do something like this with my Dad ever since I was a little kid. I am a third generation Hot Rodder with deep roots in the automotive scene and industry. I am so proud to have done this with him and it surely won’t be our last. Shot for The Jalopy Journal.
