Hi I'm new here

[littledeucecoupe427]

Hi everyone, I'm new around here so I just wanted to say hi and tell you all a little about myself. I'm one of those "New Generation Of Rodders" that you seem to hear so much about but never can find. I'm 19 and I live in Vancouver, Canada. I have a 1 owner 1962 Chevy Biscayne with 57,608 miles on it and a 283/powerglide, I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet so I'm open to opinions. My other car is a 1928 Essex sedan that is currently residing in a field in texas where it has lived for the last 50 years. This summer my dad and I are going to go on a 2 week road trip down to Texas to bring it up! I plan on making it a 1960's style show rod with metal flake blue paint, kandy pearl firewall, white running board covers, radiar wheels and white walled cheater slicks, blue and white tuck and roll metalflake vinyl interior and a white vinyl sliding roof instead so that I can have a giant sunroof! and finally a fully chromed Hudson Hornet engine to keep it all in the family!!! Well thats about all that I've got to say so bye.

Welcome. Good luck with your project. Built it the way YOU want it. You will probably take some heat for that approach but if that is what YOU want stick to your guns.

Young Hotrodders RULE.


Welcome to the HAMB. And make sure your Dad get on here too.

[radarlover]

Welcome and keep us posted.

Welcome....wassup with the name? 427 Deuce coupe doesn't denote a hudson powered Essex......

What's a "running board?" Does that thing have something to do with a "fender"? Another mystery to me....mumble mumble..............

You have given a lot of thought into what you wnat the Essex to become, butt not the Biscut ...just be sure to do it your way, and not worry about what others think you should do.
I'm glad to see a young man like you involved and ready to work.
Good Luck!

[littledeucecoupe427]

<font color="blue"> </font> Wow!!! Thanks for replying everyone, made me feel great http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif! I will try to reply to all the questions at once so we will see how this goes but first off I forgot to say that I have got my own web site if any of you want to check it out its http://groups.msn.com/HotRodsCustomsandCarStuff

I don't have any pics of my cars yet but I will try to take some and get them posted ASAP. I chose my screen name before I had either car because my dream car is a deuce coupe with a 427 ford. The "vinyl interior and a white vinyl sliding roof" refers to the fact that I am NOT going to fill the roof hole but rather cover it with the same fabric that I am using for the interior and put it on a rolling track that way I can pull the cover back and have a sunroof of sorts. I came up with the idea of doing the essex in a 1960's show rod stlye because I haven't really seen anyone doing it and I like to be different. I hope I have everything period correct so if not or if something is missing would someone out there please let me know! And finally, Kojack- I would be intrested in that sunvisor for my 62. Thanks for bearing through that everyone, and its good to meet you all!!!

We built an Essex sedan for a guy..........looked good with a Duece shell..no, reallly!

[littledeucecoupe427]

I belive it I can't decide if I want to use a essex grill or a deuce one. Do you have any pics of that car?

[sedan_dad]

Little Jimmy,Is that real?
I take it your a Chevy guy.

[coupeHEAD]

Welcome and good luck with your Essex project. As for the style go to a swap meet and pick up those old 60's hot rod magazines and start looking at the pics. Plenty of ideas in there and they're cheap.

[littledeucecoupe427]

Thanks coupeHEAD I'll do that! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
