Hi guys and gals , Ratty here . been surfing round your forum for a while now and thought it was time I got involved . Always loved rods and kustoms , but only really started getting into the scene in Blighty over the last 4/5 years . After a bit of an embarassing start ('86 Z28 IROC , don't ask!) I've got myself a 32 roadster pick-up the way I want it , plus I've just got my hands on an A coupe body for the next project . Can't believe it took me so long to finally get off my arse and start rodding , so now I'm making up for lost time ;-)
Sorry it took so long , but i'M abIt slllow at cumpooters . Plus I'm connected via my cellphone , parked in a layby on the side of a mountain . Told you I'd only just got the A ;-)
Welcome to the HAMB from a former Brit!! Now in California....There's a lot of Brit's on here, you will likely know a few...What part of Norfolk are you from? Are you going to Hemsby? I'm not, but I know a few HAMB'ers are... UK HAMB Meet anyone?? Anyway, welcome!! Dave
Cheers Dave , I'm from Thetford , but don't tell anyone , lol . First time at Hemsby this year and can only make the saturday/sunday , really looking forward to it . I'll be the fat bloke with bad hair if anyone wants to meet up , probably be down the beach . Have to say though , a California beach sounds warmer !
Welcome Ratty, that's a grouse lookin pickup there, I can't wait to hear plans for the A Coupe an see it finished, Outback
Cheers Outback , I'll take it that "grouse looking" is good ,lol ! Should've put some details on really : Glass body ,original firewall , one-off steel buck , '36 Pilot chassis , 32 front end , 56 Chevy back , warmed over 318 chrysler with 727 box , some old seat , Watts striping . New wheels and lakes headers going on in the next few weeks to get her on form for the annual run to the Le Mans 24hr . Still planning the A , but it'll be low ...
Cheers Big D and Taildraggin , feeling all at home now ! Think the A's gonna be a slow burner , gotta sort the cash and parts etc . Not decided exactly how to get her lookin yet , any ideas more than welcome ...
Any ideas on the A? Tall like a tractor so you can get it down the track from Ivors sheds... otherwise it'll never reach the road! Welcome aboard young man, welcome aboard.
Ha ha ha , is that the real reason Phil , or are you getting lonely having the highest T in England ? lol
