Hello,
I have been lurking for a while now, so it's time I introduced myself. I am into traditionally styled hot rods. I finally built my first one and took it to the Lonestar Roundup this year. I'll try to attach a couple of pictures of the roadster. The specs are as follows: frame: unknown make with Ford crossmembers installed and CE x-member, engine: Chevy small block with three dueces, Trans: Saginaw 4 spd, Radiator: Cat dozer with outlets moved, Rear axle: '57 Chev, front suspension: dropped Ford axle with Chevy van brakes, rear suspension: hairpins with model T spring, steering: 51 Ford PU, Body: 26 Ford. The car sits a little high in the rear, but I plan to modify the spring a little to get it down a little. That's about it. I'm having so much fun with the car as it is that I don't feel like doing too much more to it.
Later

Thanks,
I'm in Bellville west of Houston. I probably should put that in my profile. I get up to Arlington now and then - what type of event is that in Denton?

Yeah, we all went to the roundup but formed the club after that. Hopefully we could all make it to Piston and Paint.
