    I'm in Ravenel just towards Summerville off of 17 on 165. I think I saw your car at the last Bessengers shindig. Were you parked up with the bikes?

    ya, it was the first time I brought out the Sedan.. next time you see it say hi.

    Oh by the way. try not to use the word Rat Rod.. unless you are building a POS that is unsafe to be on the streets. Its a hotrod you are building.. (ratrod is a bad term to most).... look forward to seeing progress

    finding a 32 sedan body is tough, I did know where a roller 32 sedan was (all new frame and susp, body was really rough, but not sure if its forsale still ($7500ish), you get the body for free basically and pay for the ch***is. I was going to sell my 29 sedan body to put a Woodie body on it but not ready to do that just yet (in another month or two maybe). Need to do some more research on the lead time to get the woodie body...

    Do know know of any other Sedans right now available in this town.. (I went to Columbia to get mine.
