Another box ticker for me. JW

 

Naw man, I'm just cursed with more memory capacity than a goldfish.

 

Another one on my list (checkin' it twice).

 

Very cool

 

1930....channeled 4 1/2", rear kicked 7".
324 Olds w/Edmunds 2x2, 3-speed T85 w/OD. 6.00×16 front and 7.00x16 rear.

 

Yes he did. One of my favorite cars. There's a loosely built "clone" of that car too. Body and color wise it's close, but drivetrain is different. I'd be happy with either car.

 

My coupe (avatar pic) is on AA rails.

No splash aprons.

 

That was my first time meeting Stogy- he drove down to the Rockton fairgrounds sort of at the last minute, for the Jalopy Jamup. I gave it some coverage, you can search Jalopy Jamup 2024. He seemed alright at the time, as much as any of us is alright…EDIT- I went back and saw you liked some of his coverage, so this is old news.

 

My first hot rod build. Started in 1961 and sold in 1970, wish I still had it.

 

So many sweet rides in this thread! My '31 as few months ago. Getting ready for final squirt at the moment. If you check out the build thread you will see it's been through some "development" during the build.

My favorites of all time are the Ewing Iron Duke poweered roadster, ( just stunning to see in person). This car left a permanent impression and Nutrockers flatty powered roadster.

 

A couple of my favorites

 

Great thread! One of my favorites is this pic from the photographic works of : https://customrodder.forumactif.org/t1956-trent-sherrill-photographer

Worthy of a perusal.

Simplistic & honest example.

 

BUILT THIS 29 IN THE LATE 50s AND 60s, WITH THE 32 ROOF, SOLD IT A LONG TIME AGO, DONT KNOW WERE IT IS NOW

 

Early '70s, built this '31 A Coupe while I was in college. Buick V6/auto/10 bolt. Never got to finish it...had to sell it to pay for another year of tuition.

 

Picking on not any of the above Model As, why would anyone plunk a silly aluminum plate on the running boards that already have rubber surfaces that have the same function for scraping snow or mud. They sure break up a sleek view of a nice car.

We like A's

So here is the car I wanted when I was 10 (1964) and finally built and finished in 2023! Everything available in 1964 except the overdrive transmission. A long term dream is a powerful thing.
