    '31 pick-up that supposedly was a record holder at Great Lakes drag-away with a hemi in the late 60's and early 70's. My uncle and father bought it in '74, pulled it apart to this point and this is how I brought it home this autumn. Currently collecting parts and ideas waiting for winter to be through.

    Here are pics of mine. YES it's an A, around 31 that was cut up and turned horse buggy with inset fenders and top cut off and some changed body lines, now it gets to go back to it's roots:D . Planning high fenders LOW stance on a modified 29 A frame, 350/4 speed. Have better pics but are too big.

    I am working on mine but the pictures are kind of silly because I have not chopped it yet.

    I have the inner floor structure finished, the interior is braced so I can chop it, the axle is under it with the leaf spring located. While the top is off, I am going to put a cage in it.
