Thanks Blake, will you be at the grand national roadster show next year? If so it would be kool to meet up with you again.
Rolled it out in the sun today after work. Sure is bright in the sun and really maroon in the shade. Hope we made the right decision on...
Yeah rite! Patina cars are so much more fun!
Yes it was primed with hi build primer and touched up with some filler. Needed to do something to cover up my shitty welds
It’s an early bronco narrow nine inch. It’s way overkill for a flathead powered car but it’s narrow and was affordable as I bought it from a good...

We just used repo. stock hinges. Everything outside is what it would look like stock. I still need to build an upper rain gutter.
Thanks dude!
All the front suspension is back from powder coating. Hopefully have a rolling chassis soon![ATTACH]
It is deceiving though. I sprayed a metal panel with grey primer under it and it’s a different color.
Bump
Old Skool, stock lights and dropped bar for me.[ATTACH]
