I've been reading a lot on this site. I've always been into anything with wheels but last Feb. I got into the ole Fords. My grandpa (an ole tyme hotrodder since the late 40's) and I have several projects going. When I started reading the tech section and some of the posts here, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Currently, I'm building a 35-40 frame (link attached) and it's just about done. I don't have a body. I just drug home a model a frame 2 weeks ago and man it's solid. This is the project I want to get to most. For both projects I have everything but the bodies. I found a guy that thinks he can get me a Brookville for 1/2 if it is all apart.....we'll see if he comes through! sorry, my newborn is crying...gotta go...finish later link: http://community.webshots.com/user/flatheadyounin
Ok I'm back.... As you now know, I'm a new, proud papa! She's like her old man, she gets pretty teed off if she's hungry! Moma came home and saved the day. Yes, she's got me wrapped around her finger already. She could kill people and I would say "That's ok, she didn't mean to!" Where was I..... Here's a website that I built for grandpa's stuff. It's a little run down and in need of some blasting and painting. http://www.members.tripod.com/jeff_holmes_2/ I really never thought I could afford to "play" with old cars but he has showed me how to do it cheap and introduced me to many ole fellas in the hollers that sell this stuff reasonable. So, about a year later, I am! Yes, I'm one of those dem dare rat rod wannabes.....I don't care what they're called, I call em' po boy specials and I can't wait to take my po boy special and spank my buddies butts. They think if it ain't glossy, it ain't much. Anyway, enough of the BS, I like just about any thing that makes the EPA cringe! I mold minds and inspire our future generations for a living- I teach Wood shop. Looking foward to getting to know all of ya! BTW, do any of you live near Southern Ohio?
