Hi from North Dakota

Hi,
My name is Rod Reetz and I'm from Bismarck ND. I am building a traditional 28 Ford roadster using a flathead 60 and a pickup*******. I've ordered a New Zeeland quick change to complete the package. I enjoy working in the shop on these type of cars. I have a B banger built up for a 31 coupe I have. Seems like the engine work suits me better than the fabrication as I have done a lot of do and redo. I joined to get some ideas and maybe pick up a few parts to get this rod on the road before they won't let me drive anymore.

 

Welcome !

I'd like to see a picture of that midget.

 

quite a few guys from the suedes car club on here from your neck of the woods... or a fed hours south. i agree, i wanna see some pics..?

 

midgets? sweet...what else do you guys have up in north dakota?...hahaha, just kidding...welcome to the forums, make yourself at home...

 

Sorry It took so long to get the pictures up, but I had to wait until my kid came home to show me how to shrink the pictures. I traded a B Banger for the midget and got a pile of parts. I rebuilt the V8-60 and have done little else with it. I now have the aluminum hood in fine shape, but the tail still needs work. I need a new grille and who knows whatelse. The engine runs so sweet. I have a oil pan with a place for a starter on the stand to start it. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks

 

Nice midget ! And it's real....mine ain't.

I see Halibrand front brake calipers. Is that a Franklin steering gear ?

 

I'm not sure what steering, but I thnk it is a franklin. It has a Casale(sp) quick change.

 

Wow ! Some interesting stuff. Here's my "fake" midget.

 

Rod, I see ya signed up. Have anything to do with that link I sent ya??

 

Nothing to do with the link. Tracy sent me one also, but everything to do with that roadster you have that I drool on..
