I've been car crazy since the 50's. We had many rods and customs around here. One friend had a 40 ford convertible chopped, Carson top, and all the goodies, probably built in Cal. Loved that car. Another friend had a 50 Chevy club coupe chopped by Barris. Another friend created the DCB coupe from a great 32 coupe hot rod with a flathead. He put the flathead in his 50 Ford club coupe and a Chevy V8 in the 32( google it). Yet another friend had a 34 Plymouth coupe hot rod. Me, I had nothing special. All I could do was buy all the little books I could find, kill tranys and rear ends out of a 48 Ford 2 door sedan, and build models. Over the years I owned, built and/ or modified many 57 Fords, and a 38 Ford 4 door. So in 1995 I finally got to have a car built, it was my driver, a 70 Chevy Pu I bought in 72. I still have that truck. In 2001 I had the 31 completed. Took it to Pleasanton and won a Top 10 and the Tim Allen pick. Boy what a great feeling to know others liked what I did with it. Hope you’ll like them also. I’ve been checking the HAMB for a 40 Deluxe Coupe for sometime but now that I’m retired I’ve got to sell the roadster. I’ll be listing it here soon.
