Reviving Model A Hot Rod: Overhauling Fuel System in California

In sunny Southern California, the StanceWorks crew is on a mission to revive a Model A hot rod that has been dormant for over two years. The team dives into the task of overhauling the fuel system, starting with replacing the foam inside the fuel cell for safety reasons. Despite initial doubts about the necessity of this step, they proceed meticulously, ensuring a proper fit to guarantee the next owner's peace of mind. With the fuel cell reinstalled and the chassis cleaned up, the focus shifts to getting the car ready to roar back to life.

As they prepare to fire up the hot rod, a hiccup emerges - fuel leaks due to the corrosive nature of E85 in the system. Realizing the potential dangers of this issue, the team makes a bold decision to replace all the fuel lines with PTFE for long-term reliability. This meticulous approach showcases their commitment to safety and excellence, even if it means a significant investment of time and resources. With the new fuel system in place, the moment of truth arrives as they pressurize the system and prepare to start the engine once again.

The exhilarating sound of the coyote motor roaring to life marks a major milestone, but the StanceWorks crew knows there's more work to be done. They turn their attention to rebuilding the damaged nose cone and grill shell, opting for a new 1931 Grill to replace the original. As they meticulously piece together the front end of the hot rod, the team's dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail shine through. With each component carefully restored and upgraded, the Model A hot rod is on track to reclaim its former glory and hit the road with a renewed spirit.
