    I had my car for sale for the last 9 months, lots tires kikers, some had trades but not my style, one even said he was going to mail me a check for $30,000 and he want the change right away and he was going to sent someone to pick the car up, Yeah right this are some of the old tricks i learn a long time ago. Anyway told wife this kid want to trade me a 1931 model A Roadster, And show the picture of the car. she look the picture and then look at me and walk away, She knew no matter what she was going to said i was going to get it anyway. The kid had his first baby and was going to need a bigger car, I remember those day when you have to give up your baby for another, So he is in indiana and i'm in illinois, Him and a good friend of his trailer the roadster to my place in a 1950 ford f-100 with the old patina can you image the truck with a old trailer, old roadster and the old truck coming on I-90 trough chicago Toll road it was awsome, anyway they load up the 48 chevy and when back home he was happy with the trade, I'm still working with the old lady. I told her this is our 30th years wedding present, she just told me she don't want any presents on our 35th. forgot to mention this is one of VooDoo Larry Kustoms creations. :cool:

    I once traded a really nice '48 Chevy 2dr sedan for a scongy '59 El Camino 'cause the girlfriend at the time realized it had a back seat... Not in the good way! She figured "if we worked really hard" we could have a reason to put a baby seat back there in about nine months... The sedan was replaced by the El Camino two days later! She hated it - she was replaced about 6 months later with a much "sportier" girl...

  13. I really like the look of the dashboard on your A. And is that a 56 Ford steering wheel? They are big but I love the look of them.

    If I made a trade like that, my wife would be pissed. And I'd have to say that she had good reason to be.

    is some people in this sit they don't like his style, to me no matter what kind of old car is brought to life in one way or another is great, yes he is different but this is the new generation of Hot Rodders, is real different to the old generation but i respect both.

    You need to learn what a roadster is. Your car is Not a roadster.

    Hi! bryceaugustine. Thank you. and No your eyes are ok, the boot start on the side of the tunnel and the top is right on the middle of the center console.
     
  29. I'm not feeling the rear end treatment. But hell, I'd drive it.
