Hi from Canada. I cant remember when it started but as a youngster I was always playing with the wrecks on my Dads farm. Last year I brought out the chainsaw and pulled out my Grandpas 53 chevy pickup.

I stumbled across this site looking for a dropped axle for the 53. I lucked out and picked up a few modet T bodies destined to be crushed a few months ago. Wont be starting a T build for a while but I have never built a traditional rod and looks like a great place for ideas and parts. My garage is finally done and I am smiles working on the truck thinking of Gramps spitting his chew out the window every time he took a corner.
