    How many guys on here have or have built '28-'29 roadsters following the How to build a traditional hot rod book? Here's one built by Jessie in Oklahoma that I purchased last spring. topless 003 (640x480) (640x480).jpg

    I've been using it as an aide for my build. It's a great overall education to read, and most of it is applicable to my build as far as ch***is setup. I'm using a T body and going off the rails as far as the book goes, but I don't think it was meant to be a paint by numbers set of instructions. I've got their flathead book too that I haven't cracked yet.

    Here's one for ya...but it's a coupe.
    I bought that book back in 1998 and just about wore it out while building this coupe. It doesn't have a '32 K member so I had to ad-lib a bit from their dimensions.
    I even built the stainless headers per the books excellent pics and descriptions.

    I have the book. Still have not built a car. I have collected most of the parts etc.
    I have also built repro. model A K-members for fellow HAMB members. So I know there are alot out there. At least in the build stage.[​IMG]
