HAMB'rs one and all, First and foremost...I would like to take this opportunity to thankyou all for this website. In the land of 'street' rodders, billet, L300 front ends, jag rears, fibregl*** bodies and modern interiors, this 'traditionally' focussed website is a godsend. I love all things antique...always have. From furniture to cars and everything in between. I like traditional customs, taildraggers, lowriders...whatever you like to call them. Westergard and Hines influences. The 1940 Plymouth sitting in pieces in my shed was saved from a 'street rodder'...motor and gearbox was pitched, even threw the the steering shaft (beats me, but I got the shroud)the original ch***is went to the s**** man for a modern frame that doesnt fit. My search for a ch***is continues. I count my blessings that I found the ol' girl...unsiezed the original handbrake mech last night and couldnt be happier. She is rough...cant deny it but well worth the effort required, the price was easily swallowed. I hope I can pull this one off... A**** many things, this site has shown me patience, the easy option aint always the best. It will be a long haul but the plan is to stay true to mild 48 -50 style custom, and true to the styling of the car... That will do me...now that I have introduced myself that is the end of my lurking...(unless I get my *** kicked here) I'll be in the shed. Cheers 2ndchance
