Hello, I have been visiting the site for some tiime now and realized I should write an introduction. I am 27yrs old and I was raised on hotrods through my father and his friends. I spent my early years fabricating go-karts and making engine modifications, learning to weld and generally fabricate(milling, turning, welding, cutting, fit-ups, etc..). When I was old enough to drive I put together a very respectable chevy malibu and that lead to me having enough experience to start building cars from the ground up. As far back as I can remember I have work on various cars my father has owned or more recently we have bought together, 1929 Ford Model A Tudor, 1947 Cadillac, 1937 Lasalle, 1939 Dodge, 1956 Cadillac, 1929 Model A Roadster Pick-up, 1928 Ford Model A Tudor, etc.... More recently I have completed my 1929 Model A Roadster pick-up project that I have put a lot of time and effort in (pics below). It is fenderless, channeled 5 inches over a 2x4 model A frame that is z'ed in the rear 4 inches. It has a last refuge bed shortened to 40 inches. It has a 401 Buick nailhead with a turbo 400 mated to a currie 9" with a true trac posi and 3:50 gears. I am still break her in, but she is a lot of fun to drive! I have attached some pics of my roadster pick-up and my 1928 Model A Tudor(project car).
