Alan Smith

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this type of thing, to introduce myself I'm 59ish, going on 18, I'm in my 3rdish childhood, have been hooked on rods & customs since about 1960, thats when I started hand painting T shirts for the local rodders just for aride in their cars.
I now live in the mid north coast of N.S.W. Australia, we moved here about 2 yrs ago, (sea change sort of thing) I lived in Sydney all of my life before then. I have owned & built quite a few cars over the years in between businesses, marriages, affairs & children.
My present build is a simple little car, model A chassis, 8BA flathead, toyota Celica 5 speed box coupled up to a cusso rear end,. I came by a very good '27 T coul & doors, Iam now creating an all steel R.P.U.
I have owned 2 '32 roadsters, '29 model A coupe on deuce rails, '54 ford convertible with 400 clevo, '29 model A tourer, plus an****ortment of other cars. I could carry on for hours here if anyone is interested I can post***** loads of photos from over here during the last 40 yrs. I am a professional Signwriter by trade & have been pinstriping & flaming cars for approx. 44 yrs.
okay I think thats enough for now.

 

Thanks for joining us, and unlike so many others, taking the time to post a good intro. I would like to hear about the Toyota box to 8BA when you have time.

 

glad your here, and Diddo on the toyota trans.
