Hey there everyone. My name is Andy Im 26 years old and live just outside London in England.
I own a 1933 5 window coupe which I bought from Texas and have been constantly looking on this site for ideas and inspiration for my it (as it currently has independent front suspension etc).

With all of the event coverage on this site showing the the amazing cars you guys build I doubt I can go wrong!

The thread on 6x2 carb set-ups has been one of my favourites so am currently in the process of collecting the various parts to make this happen. As well as the important bits like dago axle, split wishbones etc.

I look forward to using this site and speaking to you guys more often.

Cheers,

Andy

Hello,Andy.Nice to see another Brit on here!Have you been in touch with Geordie Paul,he's the GO TO man for real Hot Rod parts in the U.K.
I think that 5 window Coupes are byfar the nicest.
Cheers for now,
Nick.

Yeah it's rubbish weather for camping but good fun in the cars! ha ha.

Since Ive been into coupes my ideal rod would be chopped, channelled, fenderless, no bonnet etc. But because a lot of cars are like this I dont mind it being fendered, so I have a bit of a dilemma (and my dad said Im not allowed to chop it)!
I suppose the only way to know is when the front end is done, take them off run it around, and see what I like best.

I see you are building a 60's coupe. Looks great so far. How far away are you from finishing?

Thanks for that
