are you saying thats not a long time? im not a lube tech. im a diagnostic tech and get payed very well to do it. drivablilty is all i do. trust me you see alot in that short period if time.
Hay Rockabilyrat,I have been a mechanic for 40 + years and building hot rods since I was 16. I like whot you are building and keep us posted, don't worry you will get a lot of bull shit from sum here just roll with it and do your own thing. good luck ,Trevor..
i dont have a problem with some one that knows something i dont showing me a trick or two. i work with people that have been wrenching as long as i have been alive. i get tricks from them. and i help them when i can. the problem i have is when you ask for help and people give you attitude for asking. yeah this is awesome cause i got what i was after in the long run. but i had a great idea on a frame build last night. so my idea has changed a little. still going to use 32 frame rails.....well kinda. ill post it when ever i build it. i think its going to look very differant.... and not in a bad way. well maybe not for some of you on here.
i dont get it we all enjoy the same,rods old iron,call it what u will,buildem, drive em yet there always has to bea pissin match
The guy is just looking for a little advice on a cars stance and you start this foolish crap busting on him. Find something better to do, who needs this childish crap.
Cleaned up... a few folks banned... a few folks slapped around. It's real simple fellas. We don't tolerate drama. Wanna name call? Go some place else... I don't really care how long you've been on the HAMB or how bad ass you are. This isn't grade school.
here is a pic of the body i have. not much to work with sorry it all i have if any of you photoshopers want to give it a go that would be great. if not i have a good idea from the last car posted.
Heck yeah. I suck at photshop so I'll give you some thoughts. Ribbed roof from a Caravan or Suburban, no chop but channel it about 3 inches, '32 rails and a nice healthy flathead and some shiny paint.
yeah im going to fill the roof. i want to chop it 4in with no section. i want to show the 32 rails. since i love the look of a A on a 32 frame. but i do want the car to sit low. and forgive me if some one doesnt like this but a ford 300 straight 6 with a true 4 speed and a winters rear end will be the drive train. im a straight 6 guy. got a 235 for the 39 chevy and a 250 that is getting a 194 head swap in my 82 chevy. i know it will never be a flathead but i just love the look and sound of a nice built 6.
Thats a nice body, my 29 tudor was in pretty bad shape.I am interested in what your planning with yours, I keep changing my mind between traditional hot rod and RAT ROD, I like both.
