That was almost mine!

I was trying to get a hold of a buddy to see if he still had a model A sedan body for sale. Unfortunately he sold it "a few weeks before I asked" kinda thing.

Fast forward a few months and he asks me if I remember that body I wanted. I of course do because it was solid...not pretty...but solid. He tells me it's going to be in R&C and now he's kicking himself for selling it so cheap.

Well I open up to page 34 and there it is. Guy that owns it is pretty cool. Happy to see that he did it up the way he did and didn't go the billet route that is so popular around here.

This thing is LOW! 9 1/2" channel with a 5" Chop on a 9" Z'd frame and some creativity to get the floorpans between the frame rails so the seats can fit a 6' tall guy!

That car was on My Classic Car on Sunday. When asked what it started as (stupid question) the guy said '34 Ford. WTF? Was he just fucking with Dennis Gage?

no, he said 30 Ford.
reason I know? I was standing right behind the cameraman making goofy faces at them..
If ya need to know anything about Lucifer, just ask. I saw it going together from start to finish. I even helped lift the body on and off the chassis several times.

That car is fantastic. I got my R&C about a week ago and I don't think I've even seen any of the rest of the issue other than that one feature - I start to flip through, but instead I go back to that tudor and stare some more.

Hey Grumpy...was that at the Eastlake Blvd of Flags deal? That was when Mr. Moustache was there and the car was in the back behind the buildings.

I guess I need to keep my eyes open a little more...HAMB members wandering around in my backyard and I don't know who they are. That place is about 4 miles from my house...would have invited ya guys over or show you to two other cruises that same day all with in 10 miles from each other.

We need those HAMB patches or something. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Grumpy, if you know about it, what size are those Radirs? The fronts look a little larger than the rears, diameter-wise, in both pics. Maybe it's just an optical delusion...
