    Got myself an early christmas present. Should keep me out of the pub this winter. She came from Kansas.

    Imagine what the guy on the production line would have said if you'd told him in 82 years time this car will travel in a container to England to be turned into a hot rod.

    Happy Christmas.

  3. nice -what are your plans?
     
  4. Hey, give that back!
    Seriously though, looks like a nice place to start from, good luck. I hope you have doors. That guy on the line 85 years ago would have thought you were a nut.

    Plans are low and channelled but not too low, 17" wires with whitewall skinnies, blown 21 stud flatty, Model A runing gear. 30/31 A grille.

    Not sure about a chop, kinda sad to take a saw to her! but I do love 'em chopped.

    Probably panel the roof. Colour will be either dove grey or french grey and contrasting wheels.

    Got to hand it to you guys across the pond. A lot harder for you to work with American iron then for us. Love that your doing it though. I say anyone that cant find original iron isn't looking hard enough or doesn't want it bad enough. Your a perfect example.

    AHHHH the TALL T's. I remember in my yoot, one of my uncles friend had the same T, cut firewall to stuff a small block in it, he was like 6foot 4inches tall, looked like a phone booth on wheels--but its really a neat car!

    Post your progress!
