Hi,
My name is Rod Reetz and I'm from Bismarck ND. I am building a traditional 28 Ford roadster using a flathead 60 and a pickup tranny. I've ordered a New Zeeland quick change to complete the package. I enjoy working in the shop on these type of cars. I have a B banger built up for a 31 coupe I have. Seems like the engine work suits me better than the fabrication as I have done a lot of do and redo. I joined to get some ideas and maybe pick up a few parts to get this rod on the road before they won't let me drive anymore.

Sorry It took so long to get the pictures up, but I had to wait until my kid came home to show me how to shrink the pictures. I traded a B Banger for the midget and got a pile of parts. I rebuilt the V8-60 and have done little else with it. I now have the aluminum hood in fine shape, but the tail still needs work. I need a new grille and who knows whatelse. The engine runs so sweet. I have a oil pan with a place for a starter on the stand to start it. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks
