Very cool Mike. That's gonna be a killer car man...

 

I'm 15, live in the UK and have been building this for the past 6 months. It is my first build, and I have ended up with almost all the parts being British. It uses a Reliant Kitten chassis, modified to fit a Ford pop 103e front axle, which is, or will run Triumph Spitfire front discs, when I get the money for new discs and calipers (I might try and get the old calipers working again, and buy new seals and pads). The engine is Reliant (only 850cc, but I love it), and so is the rear axle. The engine was the first thing I got, and that has had a bit of TLC and a few new parts. The rear wheels are some Morris Minor ones, and the body shell will be an Austin A35 bodyshell, with the whole nose cut off so exposed engine, and an entirely new floor and bulkhead made from sheet steel. In the process of making the new floor, I will channel it 4 inches over the chassis rails, and then later chop the roof 2 inches. The front grill will be a Morris 10 grill. I plan to paint the body, the wheels and the front grill shell all red oxide (mixed with matting agent), but the time for painting is waaaaaaaay in the future. Here's a few pictures:

I love the other young peoples stuff on here too. Really impressive, and much better than mine!

 

thats really cool...

 

I'm 24 and I have 2+ years into my '26 T roadster that I know most of you have seen here. The T is coming close to completion, so I am laying out the foundation for my next "project" ....a duplicate '29 A roadster to the one my grandfather raced in the late 40's and 1950's.

Here is a few shots of my '26 and the link to my thread, Enjoy!

...Sorry, had a brain fart...I'm a little over the age limit, but I guess its been more like 3+ years now, since I bought it and started building at 20.

 

Yes! but I sold them and ran the fenton aluminum ones instead. I really like the fentons. They resemble the stock steel covers but yet have the aluminum fins. Cool stuff!

 

man thats a nice roadster..

 

x2.

 

Thank you! I would love to share the pictures of the build with everybody. I am really trying to make this a good one right out of the shoot. I dont want to take any short cuts around anything to finsh it. I have acquired some rare parts and cant wait to cut the bad boy 5". Its going to look different!

 

a chop changes the whole additude of a car no matter what it is, im taking 13 inches out of my 27 coupe thats out with the garage and i plan on building very soon, im going pretty extreme on this one

 

i guess we just about ran out of young guns with hotrods on here..

 

no im sure theres some more, or some guys who arent young now but can tell us what they built at our age

 

hell im down for it lets see them...

 

you got that rite!

 

Keep it between the young guys and gals....

There are enough threads out there of what us old guys built. You'll be surprised how many more people show up.

 

Its a M1 Ford Capri ,outa the UK, DAM KOOL CARS , some had V4's ,some have the V6 engine ,plus some had an inline 4 ,well,we did here in NZ .............

PS, IM 42 ,old fart,can I post on here ?.......keep the pic's coming you young fellas...........

Yea, maybe so, but use old folks are still watching to see what pops up

 

And then you bling and you'll be old like us old guns with rusty barrels!!! LOL. Hey I still act young and goofy!!

 

I'm Jake, i'm 19 and i've been wrenching on cars since i was about 13 or 14 with my dad/friends. I've sampled around, i have a '27 T roadster, a '63 Bug all cal styled, an 03 mini truck, everything customized. But most importantly, my project is my 1935 Ford Truck. Plans are the engine below, t5 trans, front and rear kickups, all traditional styled.

 

hold on hold on man! You didnt post pictures of the bug =(! I love bugs haha, anyways what about the T to... Please!!!! haha nice truck

 

Im 17 and from North Dakota. This is my daily driver a 64 Comet.

This is my a current project a '41 ford pu that I have had since I was nine. Im putting a 1951 flathead in it.

I have lengthened the dash and put a 61 dodge speedometer in it and a vintage SW tach.

And this is my next project a 35 three window.

 

nice rides man.

 

That 35 three window is awesome fomocokid! How much did you score it for?!?!?

 

Fomoco kid, by posting that picture of the 35 Ford 3 window, you now have, every old farts attention, and will probably have some new best friends! Ha!
