Bought 1993

 

The day that I picked up the '40 Stake truck from my aunt's storage place, February 2012.

On the way to Frog Follies, August, 2012. Since then, I have replaced the pea-shooter exhaust with duals and swapped the stock seat for a Caravan seat, until I get around to rebuilding the stock one. Still running original wood on the bed.

 

The day that I picked up the coupe, back in 1994

On the "Route Scout" for the SWMO Hot Rod Hundred, back in October, 2013.

 

Well.........here goes.......

26 COOP (2014):

Are you talking about you or the car????

 

May 17 2014 - Sitting since '68



Jan 29 2015 - all new chassis w/ 327 SBC

 

Getting there...

 

My daily driver started life as a RR, and I brought it with the idea of making it into a hot rod.
So far, its a big improvement, but it will never be a Hamb friendly car. Hope to sell it in near future, and wanted to do a RPU Model A, fully fendered. Lately, I've been leaning toward a 27 Ford Roadster.
Blue version when I brought it, black n flamed as is now.

 

My 35 Chevy, started life as moredoor Standard, or Junior, as they were called down here.
I cut it, as I want to make it a RPU Phantom, if I keep it long enough.

 

Still a work in progress...

 

Hmmm....what color would you call that? Looks kinda like blue...

 

My 37 Ford Slant-back, as I bought it in 2007. Prior owner had it for 30 years, but it sat for almost all that time. I bought it with no running gear.


At Meltdown Drags 2013. I put in a 388 SBC, Muncie M22 and Ford 9-inch rear.
