Hi,
My name is Murray and I have been reading this board for years. Decided to join to help answer questions that I can. Anyway I am 27 and am a fitter and machinist by trade. I work as a Maintenance Manager and am also studying mechanical engineering at university. I have a few projects up my sleeve, these being a 42 chev pick-up, 1934 ford coupe and a 1950 chev coupe.
The pickup is closest to being finished as I am nearing teardown stage. It is chopped 5 inches, channelled 4 sits on a 34 ford chassis and runs a 390 FE/toploader/9 inch diff.
The 34 coupe was an old 60's/70's rod that was originally built in Queensland by Evan Issacs and later owned by Graham Cowan. It was channelled over a 32 chassis and ran a studebaker V8 with a cusso diff.
The chev coupe I chopped 4 inches (never finished) and installed a holden front end. I love traditional style of hotrods, particulary in the period of late 50's early 60's and am hoping to reflect this in my builds.
I will post pictures later.
