Hi, from Hotrodboy. I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. I've been hotrodding for about 12yrs now. I am building my first hotrod, after owning a couple of rods built by others.

My project is a 30' Tudor, it will be chopped , channeled and fenderless. I have made a good start in to the chassis so far with a 355ci Chev backed up by a Powerglide and twisting a 9inch rear. I just picked up a steel body last week, with a bunch of patch panels to fit.

I had seen the HAMB mentioned in a few magazines that I read (CKDeluxe and Ol' Skool Rodz) and also from posts on our own New Zealand Hotrod Magazine website/forum by other members of the HAMB from New Zealand, so here I am ready to surf your forum and learn more about traditional rods and offer some insight in to rodding on the other side of the world.

Well I just got round to resizing a pic to post up-83kb wow so small, I usually upload 2500kb pics to our NZHotrod Magazine forum. So below is my self portrait the roadster body has been changed to a tudor body that is yet to get its chop'n'channel.
