''This was the first Hot Rod I built from the ground-up with my Dad in my parents 2-car garage. My Mom’s part-time hair salon on the right side of the garage, and my Dads 37′ Chevy parked on the other side. We built the Model A right in the middle. We documented the entier build from Day-1 on The Hamb under the “Helmuth Brothers Coupe“. It was about a 6 year build in total. I dedicated the name of the car to my Dad and Uncle. They are the main reason why my cousin and I are into this hobby.'' -John Helmuth.
The fabrication was done at my parents house over the first 4 years.''
I’m already planning the next build.''
The Helmuth Brothers 1930 Ford Coupe.
Thank you very much to John Helmuth for giving me the opportunity of featuring his hot rod. Traditional, chopped, clean and ''simple''... beautiful.
