Projects My 1st build - '30 sedan/'32 chassis - UPDATE 11/12/13 PROJECT COMPLETE

Congrats! On your build, VERY NICE!, You Sir, are a real "Hot Rodder" My hats off To you. I have not met many people in the "Hobby" that can do it all. Again! Congrats! John

 

thank you very much

 

I thought this would be the perfect end to my build thread... compliments and a pic with Mr. Gene Winfield.

 

I can't see your pics. ??

 

where did the pics go?

 

the site upgrade lost my pics... I am working on fixing it now...

 

final changes to car... pics from The Lone Star Roundup in Austin, Tx





and rain on the way home..


and the following weekend in Sealy for the Nostalgia Drags. My first time at a drag strip behind the wheel. Didn't do so great but, damnit! that's some gud fun right there!



horrible but, I didn't know what the hell I was doing and between my carbs needing rejetting, 3.00 gears, and 28" rear tires... it is what it is...

 

Great thread. I love this.

 

thanks Gonzo!

 

Just outstanding and I especially like the parts where you fixed all the warts.

 

I saw your build at last weekends Burnout Houston show. Pretty bad ass...

 

Great build and great photos.

 

thanks guys! much appreciated!

 

Far and away my favorite part of this build is that you did 99% of it yourself. Not many can say that. Well done.

 

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll, and you made it!

 

thanks guys!

 

Had pics shot for upcoming ol Skool rodz magazine over the holidays... Sneak peek

 

Nice,nice job my friend,congrats.yruhot

 

That's one fine looking c-dan.

 

thanks guys!

 

If that's the type of cars ol Skool rodz magazine has in it now, they've stepped up their game. I might start reading it again. I like these wheels better. Really nice car.

 

they switched it to Car Kulture Deluxe, coming out next week...

 

can't believe i just now saw this thread, awesome build! pretty sure i saw you rolling down i-10 a little while back, wish i could've caught a better look!

 

thanks!
come out to our Burger Run in December. or keep an eye out for our next breakfast get together...

Nice sedan, can't wait to see done. Have question about your roadster pick up. Would you consider a trade? Just asking in case you changed you mind

 

thanks Customsrule... the sedan has been done for a few years actually... I actually owe the money so a trade is unfortunately not possible.

 

finally got the rear end I wanted in this build and found and restored the matching 1942 Mercury Steering wheel.


purchased off HAMB
