Hi from a cold wet rainy England , I`ve got a little English upright Ford Anglia based Hotrod roadster/ Special with Alluminium bucket styled body,partial belly pan and 1172cc flathead with Aquaplane Alloyhead, and I`m also building a Austin Devon Rat Rod Pick up ,chopped 4-5 inches(about 28 yrs ago!,I`ve had it that long !) channeled about 6 inches and cab moved back about a foot. I `v got two american cars , A satin pale green 48 Stude Starlight Coupe and a 52 Nash Amb***ador. Will ad more photo`s when i can can find them out , first time at this sort of thing Reguards, Dave

Hi again, Heres a few more pics of my English Ford Anglia based roadster as requested and my Stude Starlight in Satin green both on the road at present, My Nash amb***ador & English ford Consul awaiting work, Nash will be basicly Stock but hopefully very low possibly on airbags and Consul is being converted to a 2 door as they were never produced except as convertibles fitted with a pinto. Dont they look very similar except size ? The odd looking streamlined motorcycle that might look more at home at bonnevile is a one off prototype Vellocette Killeen K17 that I have taken down an Airfield runway but can be worrying if stabalizers dont drop,this was used on the road in the early seventies and road tested for englands top motorcyle magazine at the time. My son loves it ! The dodge he**** is from my youth lowered with wide Mustang steels ,most economical american car I`ve had for a V8 !. My pontiac 2+2 also from my youth, well in my twenties anyway. hope they are of interest , As I like to say, If you grow up ,you grow old ! Dave
hey GOVNA...welcome mate. yea we americans don't think much of ratty rods. but to be honest block! you realy don't have a ratrod. actualy it's rather cute! i think you will fit in nicely. i hope you enjoy it here. call me POP...or the old FART!
Cheers Mate! I love the Stude! We've got a dear friend of the race team that has a hot rod stude. He loves that thing. I'll be in the UK for the AutoSport show in Birmingham in January.
