Newbie from Perth Australia

Hi there, my name is Patrick and I live in Perth, Western Australia. I'm 26, nearly 27 years old and after tinkering with the idea; (also having a so cal front end, currie 9" rear end, stock 1929 5 window coupe and a big turbo helped), I decided it's now time to build my very first hot rod.

Without going into too much detail it's a 1929 Model A 5 window coupe, building my first chassis, 100x50x4mm RHS stretched 5", 6" front kick, 13" rear, about to start a 5" roof chop, will then get channeled 4". Fixed body to chassis so I can run a full cage, bracing through the firewall and a X infront of the motor to stop it from twisting... All this will be thanks to a 460ci BBF and a Borg Warner SX400-75 turbo. Enough said here's where I'm up to at the moment...

 

Welcome from another Aussie here on the HAMB.

 

Cheers mate!

 

Never too young to start or to old to finish. Keep up the great work..

 

Good start to your project.

 

Well as it was my fathers 56th bday today I decided perfect time to take out that unwanted height in the roof... Tomorrow the realigning and welding begins!
