Nice Thread Chris-

New to the site, I will get some pic's up. I purchased Russ' 30 Coupe. I see a Flathead 8 in the future!

 

Here is an update.
Ditched the coupe plans went for a roadster instead.
Still along ways from being finished, but it's on the road now.

These old rods are still in my opinion the essense of hot rodding. The super go fast era that followed and the super perfect cars just don't have the same charm the old 30's cars had in my opinion. This is one of the best threads, thank you.

 

I love the AV8s. Here is mine.

 

Work in progress but getting closer all the time.

 

...well its taken 2 years to get my own car together (between working on everyone elses) and its now on the home straight, so I thought I would indulge and show a couple of photos of it. Exhaust and a few minor things and its ready to roll...

 

Is that it? I have the opportunity to trade my shoebox for a 30 roadster so I need to see what I'd be getting into!
