1928 Ford Model A Rat Rod Body Reworking

With this post I'm introducing my 1928 Ford Model A Rat Rod, as well as detailing some body work (rework?) I did on it.

Here's the car:

 As you can see, it's pretty bad ass!

Home Sale, Final Thoughts

After 6 years of living and working in the house, it was finished. It was also time to move on.

I'll post the final pics here that I used in the real estate for sale ad.

I learned a ton throughout this process. There were definitely highs and lows mentally, financially, and in several other areas!

The end result with the house is that I was super happy with the results.

 Go back to the move in day post, and compare!
Move In Day!

Lower Level Living Room Remodel

There was a second living room in the basement. It was in really bad shape with old carpet, bad paneling, a drop ceiling that was extremely old, an outdated looking fire place, old door, a rotted window, and more.

Here's the pics from move in day:

 The octagon window was the one that was crumbling.

Living Room Remodel

The living room was one of those rooms that was somewhat awesome, and somewhat a nightmare. The floors were the great part, new hardwood! Bonus. The walls were in bad shape with cheap repairs, and 2 layers of paneling on the south wall. The windows were in bad shape, old and wooden; rotted through in spots. The south wall also had no windows, and there was no ceiling light; so it was cavey dark.

Here's some move in shots:

 This window was the main offender, I had the contractor replace it.

Kitchen Remodel

There really wasn't much to do in the kitchen. The floors, cabinets, counters, and all that had already been remodeled. Again, this was one of the very few selling points of this house when I bought.

Here's the shots from move in day:

 The only issues in here were the walls: the drywall was a bit rough in spots, had been patched poorly, and so on.

Entryway / Foyer Remodel

This home had a massive entry way area. I'm not sure why, but it did; and it was a huge waste of square footage. There wasn't much I could do about that, but at least there were a few closets for storage.

Here's the move in day photos.

 As you can see, it was as woefully out dated as the rest of the house. Bad vinyl floor, dark foreboding doors, paneling on the walls, fake beams on the ceiling, old hollow core closet and basement doors, rusty heat register, and more.

Downstairs Bathroom Remodel

In the interest of finishing up the blog on last few rooms of this house, which was finished and sold in 2015, I'm making a few additional posts.

I'm a bit short on pics for this one, but I'll use what I have.

 Here's a few move in day photos.
