    20150524_145659_LLS.jpg IMG_20170927_232122.jpg View attachment 3667131 I have been collecting parts for my HotRod for the past 5 years. It started why I finally bought my dream car. 1930 Ford Model A Coupe with a rumble seat. I was 12 when I built a model of that car and put in a blown hemi with rear slicks. Almost 50 years later I'm starting my build.

    Boomchain, Man you picked a fine car to do a build on. Plenty of hints and clues here on the HAMB lots of inspiration as well, for those days when you get a touch of the blues and it seems nothing fits or goes right no matter how many times you bust another knuckle.

    What are your plans? Engine--or you going to try and do the Hemi like your model? Chop? Just what are you going to do? Inquiring minds want to know. Listen to Stogy too man and post more pictures, we love pictures.

    Good Luck!

    I am so sorry for your loss. Getting out in the garage and working on your dream car might be good therapy for you.

    Sorry for your loss. I have found that this hobby of ours is a great healer. You'll know when it's time to pick up that wrench again and you'll find a bunch of guys and gals that got you back.

    God bless!
