I don't know exactly but I believe I have 2-3 perfect originals (probably at least 3-4 with some sort of flaws). Over the years I've probably...
Now this is the perfect way for a traditional hot rod to be built. Using all original bits and pieces and not rushing the project. If you finish...
Add my condolences to the hundreds you have already received. I'm envious of the relationship you obviously had with your father. I never could...

If this engine was ever opened up for any reason during it's life there are probably less than 369,425 reasons why the pink color. If so move on,...
Drag out all of the superlatives about well done black...............they all apply here.
What a super little hot rod. That thing is going to be more fun than should be allowed. If if were mine I couldn't wait to get it out where you...
Yup, the combination has been around about as long as the hot rod. Back in 1959 (16 years old) and my grandfather and I had just finished...
X2 on the lettering and X2 on driving the wheels off of it. Very cool car..............enjoy!! Frank
I have a friend that would be licking his chops to get at that car. I swear he could take that thing after it was run over by a freight train and...
Excellent start correcting the first build. It's amazing how many of us will take short cuts when entering this hobby. Most of the time it is...
Those bolt on steering arms certainly weren't available in the 50's so there has been "some" work performed since then. I'd guess the steering...
I'll throw my two cents into the mix about brakes. As stated a panic stop will see it swapping ends faster than you could ever imagine. Don't...
As always Doug, your coverage is first class, giving us who are light years away a chance to experience the event. Frank

Do keep this one up to date. I always enjoy learning something new. Frank
I'm sure there are others but i'm curious as to any progress you've been able to make getting this one ready for the road. We are an impatient...
This is similar to a '32 4dr project I've had on the back burner for awhile. My goal was to mate the front of a front door grafted to the rear...
Well Scott, you had to know I would get wind of this one sooner or later. My building contractor called and talked to Sharon about going with him...
Rich B, How do you get away with running hard line from the master to the slave? With engine torque and movement it will be a short time before...
I'll be 70 in a couple of months and still do all of the fabricating and most of the body work and painting on my projects. I've had my...
Saw that car run at Detroit Dragway and our local track, Tri-City Dragway in Saginaw,MI. Like as been said Sam was a legend around here and...
I must be following you like a puppy dog tonight Danny. I to prefer the sounds of the engine, drivetrain and the road when I'm driving a hot...
Danny, Are you sure we're not brothers,separated a birth? I swear, an uncanny amount of the things you post I've lived through to. Probably...
