trad 34

Been lurking here for two years or more. Pretty much on a daily basis. Absolutely the best place on the net. I’m a 53 years young father of four and have one grand child. I have been married for 30 years. I got interested in Hot Rods after being exposed to a Hot Rod magazine at High school. Pretty early on I picked on the 34 Ford as the car to have. My 34 5 window coupe is a keeper which I have already owned for 33 years. I built in the early 80’s. It was always going to be chopped Hiboy with the full louvered hood and full frame, stock gas tank and frame horns exposed but there were some 80’s influences: 4 bars with big and little radials. It just had a make over with solids and cross ply white wall tyres and 327 SBC had the four barrel removed and replaced with a 3x2 setup. Biggest influence was the November 1973 issue of Rod and Custom magazine.
