    9 word intro and bio - wow!
    tell us more!
     
  8. Yeah, but he used the "a" twice, so technically it was an eight word intro with "rodder" misspelled.

    All righty, I guess i had a nervious jerk that day. And i new roder didn't look rite. I started souping up bicycles before i could drive a car, changing wheels and such to get em lower and racked. Flame paint jobs, flat black in 1979. Then on to motorcycles, and cars. Had a 65 f-100 in 11th grade, 352ci, holley 750, outran all the camaros and mustangs! Then went work as a an aircraft mechanic. I lost my job in Dec.2011 and have been working 3 part time jobs ever since. I am still fixin airplanes tho. I have built 3 model A Rat Rods of my own, and several "lend a hands". my 1st was a 29 tudor sedan with 302ci, c-4, 8inch from a Granada. Next is a 30 Model a Truck SBC, th2004r, 8.5 chevy with factor triangulated 4 link, good ride! I just got me a 30 coupe body, i can't build another hot rod rite now, so i bought a running original chassis and put the coupe on it, so i can drive it. I love old stuff. Ill come back here later.

    Coupe looks good. Dropped axle and a wheel and tire change will make it perfect. Just watch that "r@t" word... welcome!

    Howdy from Montgomery; I like the way you re-used some Model A left-over parts to make your truck project. Now you can tell all your hippie friends that you are "A" recycler... ;)


    Keep Alabama green, recycle an old car! Kinky6 :cool:
