Yes its true, another Brit here from across the pond. Bit of a small into Im 35 and have been into rods for the last 19 years or so. Current ride "in progress" is my steel 34 5 window coupe that I have just aquired. Have been building a chassis for the last 2 years with a 322 Nailhead converted to stick shift with a toploader, then the 5 window came along. Just deciding if to swap the body onto my new chassis or swap the new parts to the old chassis.

If anyone knows any history about my 34 would be really interested, apparently it was part built in Alabama in the 60's, has a Caddy 331, 39 Toploader with Linc Zeph gears and 39 rearend. Body and chassis are in great condition, hope to have it on the road this year.
Couple of poor pics are here -
