Just figured out this picture deal and thought a re-intro may be in order.
I'm older than dirt ,have been rodding and racing for about 41 years. Dedicated scrounger and do almost all of my own work .
I was turned om to this site by ROCKY , and have learned a ton while I have been here.
I purchased two pickup loads of model A stuff for $50 . Don't get excited ,it's mighty rough stuff . It seem's I got three cowls, four quarters,five doors and a bunch of floorboards and sub frames. No trunks .hoods or rad. shells. My first thought was to take the best and make a fenderless coupe ,but after seeing the Modified style I decided making new panels might not be any harder than repairing the ones I have.
I will post a couple pic's of when we stuck it together to figure out what we had.

I have to pay ROCKY every week to be my friend,

The subframe are just getting laminated with square tube and flat stock ( mistakes in making the other panels)

I'm in beautiful downtown Glenwood ( Garden spot of mid-america)

Clarinda is the prison town ,were you in or out?

Dude, if you're going to say you're from Iowa, then don't put the right armpit of Nebraska as your location. Represent for the left armpit of Iowa - Council Bluffs.
