Hello !!! Let me introduce myself ... Serge of France, I live in southern France near Toulouse and I have a "small rod French" like many rodders of my country calls! Indeed ... This is not a Ford, he has no V8 or 6 in line, not channeled and it is small ... More of flaw didn't no?! As I speak a very bad English, I use a translator to correspond with you ... I'm sorry in advance! My job is backliner and roadie for concerts, festivals, ... If i come here it's because it's a pleasure to see the projects here. Lot of idea and inspiration for me. A quick overview of my hot rod I have bought "turn key" It's a french Peugeot 201 from 1932, originally a "coupé doctor" who has been transformed into pick up because the original body leaving only the cow, doors and sides pannels! He was a pick-up many years ago... All the body is in steel and is chopped 2", rear cabin reformed from a Sedan 201 rear , the frame is original with an added cross member. The engine, transmission and rear axle from a Aronde Simca 1960. The hydraulic front brakes are also from the Aronde and are adapted to the rockets being behind the 201. The engine is a four banger. In preparation for the customize it my way: 4 new wheels with Firestone whitewalls. A new grille and a removable hood from a . french tractor !!! A new dashboard, finish the interior and maybe a new rear long dump ( bed ?). Change engine with another Simca four banger of 75 HP instead of 48 today, with 2 carburetors on a new intake manifold. Other things ?... Tell me !!! Thank you for welcoming me with you!
Greetings Serge, we'll have you talking American "hot rod slang" before you know it. Send some pictures of your build as you progress.
Welcome from Denison Texas sister city of Cognac, France. building your rod with what you got is what it is all about, yes lets see some pics
Also welcome from Pays Bas / The Netherlands Nothing wrong with a 30's Peugeot, just drop in a French Ford flathead V-8
Bonjour Serge, it's always good to see another 'EuroHAMBer' signing up. It sounds like an interesting project you've got going. Pictures would be great!
Welcome from New Zealand. Let's see some photos of your car. Have you thought of using a Simca Vedette engine? - it's the old Ford V8 - 60.
