    I was just trying to remember when I last signed on. It may have been five or six years!
    A lot has happened on my sidetrack. Finally got the business firing on all cylinders. Sold off my hotrod projects. Bought a few more. Wasn't sure I'd get the traditional hotrod bug again, but wound up bringing home a '30 A coupe body and frame, today. (God, help me!)
    Time to start the scavenger hunt. Pretty sure I want deuce rails. Hope I can recover some parts I let get away.
    I've been offered a 324 Olds with six 2bbls and a 3 speed Cadillac trans. I had my heart set on a hemi, but it's hard to ignore that many carbs!
    I have a Jones quick change in the attic. It's awfully big for such a car, but it would sure be cool.
    Is it sacreligous to hang a '35 GMC grille shell in front of a Ford?

    April 4th, 2017 was your last post.
    So - about 3-1/2 years you've been MIA.

    Welcome back

  6. Glad you're back. If it is as I visualize it, that GMC grille would look great.

  7. Welcome back.....luv those old Olds engines. Running a 324 with a 37 Buick tranny in mine. We like pics of the project when you get the inclination:)

    Welcome back! Your plan sounds good! I have no idea what that GMC grille looks like, but sounds interesting!

    Good to see you on here. I met you a few years ago when Randy and his crew, including me, worked on your house.

    Does Randy have anything left in his stash that might work for you?

    Hey Thomas! Yea, he has the Olds. Still weighing options. I was also offered a fresh flathead this morning. I might have to supercharge it, if I went that way.

    That was just a drive-by to reload pics by request. Prior that, it was 2014. Wow!
