Ryan, I'm sure I can say without reservation that the Keith Tardel built cutie you have parked in your garage had absolutely no influence on your...

I find it interesting that most everyone who posts about you having a "speedy" recovery have probably never had so much as a toothache. There isn...
Sorry I missed this one. I'll have to make friends with someone from the area that can keep me up to date on Thumb happenings. Frank
Nothing at all wrong with a glass car. It's all about the quality and theme of the build. This one looks like it would be a fun ride. Ffrank
If that car is in as nice shape as you describe and you want it, $2000 would be a bargin. You've stated that you can come up with money monthly...
Those join the stainless steel Fords as the real oddities of OEM automotive promotion. Frank
Don't remember if you said how much your body was chopped. Care to give us a number? Frank
Your doing an excellent job and your long term project deserves no less. Be sure to keep us up to date as you get this one ready to put a big...
Get ahold of Mark at Shadow Rods and talk to him about his full flow oil filter system and the modifications needed to use it. It's the best...
I don't think you can buy the scoops with the filters already installed. When I checked a couple years ago. I could buy the scoops but was...
The picture off him hanging out the driver's window of his flamed '40 with that big grin on his face will forever be my lasting image of Bob...
Thumbs down on the'32 grille and shell. Been done too many times with substandard results. When you apply a '32 grille on anything other than...
Awesome collection of '32-'34 pickups. I owned a '34 for over 40 years and never got it to driver condition. My excuse was that every time I...
My '23 T roadster body with opening door arrived today and the bill said $250 shipping. There was no reduced/free shipping offered when I...
My condolences to his family and friends. Frank
I think it's about time you published a manual on HOW TO USE A 292 CHEVY IN A DAILY DRIVEN HOT ROD. A section on building the engine with parts...
Yup, A 2" cut on a full fendered '32 5w is perfect. If Henry had just forgotten that he "used" to built model T's and model A's and just...
Great bunch of photos...........looks like a great day of drag racing. Frank
The previous owner of that car must have been one lazy SOB if it could have been fleshed out with no more effort than you put into it. Now, don't...
I'd lower the rear 2-3", fill the tank and stop only to fill it up again. frank
I suspect that from here forward when you look up Hot Rod in the dictionary you'll find a picture of this coupe. Well done and the blown Olds...

When I built my first av8 in 1959 an old timer who had been hot rodding old Fords since back in the 40's showed my how to reverse a main leaf...
damn, if that isn't a sweet sound. Can't wait to see it powering the coupe down the road. Frank
Is there anything more to it's construction other than just two pieces of metal clamped together? If not I'm guessing just a means of dampening...
3w Larry should show up any time. He is usually the one with little patience when no pictures are posted. Frank
One more for the '57 Vette. My favorite year by the way. Frank
A lot of work going on with that chop. Should be stunning when finished. Frank
