Hello, I am Paul Reichlin. I got the car disease from my Dad. He gave me a pile of Model T Ford parts when I was 12 years old and helped me build a 24 T Touring, my first car, which I still have today. It was built mostly stock. I later learned about speed equipment for Ts and collected that. I always wanted a street rod until I studied Don Montgomery books and the first Hop-Up annual. Also I was aware of Swindlers and influenced by their cars even before i knew them. I helped Fish build a seat for his bitchin 29 A-V8 and the rest is history. The World Famous Swindlers let me into the elite. Actually, I bought my way in with beer, pizza, tacos, and upholstery favors. My cars include: 24 T Roadster 24 T Touring 26 T Boattail Speedster 26 T Roadster 29 A Drylakes Coupe 29 A Tudor Sedan 29 A Phaeton 32 Fordor 32 5W 32 3W All Fords^^^ 39 Merc Fordor 41 Merc Fordor 37 Willys 4dr 50 Olds 98 2dr Fastback 60 Ford Pickup Shit, don't let my wife see this list...
Hey Paul! Good to see you on the Hamb, sorry I didn't see the post sooner, I've been in England. Your intro is WAY better than Gup's was. His was pathetic. Did you see it? good grief. You know, you missed all your parts cars. There's another 20 or so...ha ha. After reading your post, it makes me wonder, I never offered pizza, beer, upholstery work, etc... Perhaps I'm still a "baby Swindler" (tm).
You should put up a list of your wheel collection........hahahaha Thanks for letting me use your trailer today.
Hey Paul, Good to see you on here. Sorry I missed the poker run....... again!!!! You know how it is family comes first. Hope all is well and see you soon. Steve Glucoft Amocat Speed Emporium
Welcome Paul!!! For those that don't know, Paul may well be "the best upholstery guy" on the West Coast. And Thanks to "The World Famous Swindler's" for the best poker run ever!!
