Hey guys just wanna say hi and let yalls know a little bit about me. My name is Chris, I have 3little boys and a dream of a wife. My previous car experience is I worked for Jerry Haas Racecars for almost 20 years and several other professional builders in between. However, I recently as of a couple years ago became a union boilermaker with my brother so that I could actually make money. LOL. As for my project, I have a 28 Ford frame, straight axle, banjo rearend, 41 international cab, trying to locate a late 30's bed. Power wise I have a flat head Cadillac that ill be hanging a turbo on and using a 5 speed mustang tranny. Just gotta put it all together. I have some friends here on the hamb, and I can't wait to mess with em bit. Have a good one guys. -Chris- aka...kid.
I'll be the first to welcome you here. I don't know if we've ever met in person here in STL but we do have many mutual friends and I've heard about your impressive fabrication skills for many years.
It's always cool to know someone has talked nice about you. Thank you.I look forward to working on this project and hanging out with the car crowd again. I swore I wouldn't return, but its in my blood and I already see it in my 4 yr old son's eyes. I'm ready to have fun this time around.
Welcome to the board Kid!!!! Cant wait to see how bad ass this truck project turns out. You should just make a bed. Biggen and I hunted along time to never find one. I made one once. Its simple.
I might end up having to do so. Made beds are for little kids tho. Lol. And they lack proper patina. But anyways, Brian, I can't phuckin wait bro, I can see it in my head already. I'm gonna have a lot of time consuming shit to do like block to tranny adapter and stuff.
I am from STL as well!! Also very familiar with Jerrry Haas Race cars. My family had shops in STL when I was growning up. I live in Tampa, FL now and still get back there from time to time. And your project sounds like a party!!!!!!!!!
well, damn it, now I need to come up with a cab now. the one promised to me the owner decided to keep.
