    Chopo,

    :confused: Your a Loony Tune as are all car guys. It's as good of a start as any, just keep picking up parts were you can and don't hurry the process. You can convert the cement mixer into a tow along for the ice cold beer or a wine coolers.

    my father used to say "vinnie found a bolt from a car and now hes gonna build a car around it" he knows about the madness that goes along with being a car guy. My mom never really understood though.

    Dumb question, what kind of cowl is that? I saw one just like that on Ebay the other day and the guy was saying it was a Ford. Doesn't look like either of my 30-31 A's. Is it a Chevy?

    not sure what the cowl is. I had thought that it was maybe a Diamond Rio or a truck of that era. Its a pretty good size cowl.

    I think is actually '28-9 fourdoor, completely different from most '28-9 or '30-31 Fords.
