  2. It does look like the Clampetts! Did you get any California howdys going down the highway? I am gaining 1 garage stall the end of October, no I dont need an other project I keep telling myself. Cool rides Paul. Have fun with them. The hack job would be the perfect hauler for the bikes too!
     
  3. $$$ Exactly !! It seems I'm haven't been able to make any finds while I'm Ball and Chained to my shop finishing everyone elses projects !!! Remember the # 40 ----K--- Paul !!! >>>>.

    Ok, I have only been home and out of bed a few hours but I had to get to work fast and change the looks of the pickup. No more blue steering wheel and no more big and little red steelies. <center>

    It's not really a hot rod and it's no longer stock. I would call it a jalopy runabout. Already having fun driving it around my small town here in Kansas. We have our fall festival and parade next Saturday and it will be perfect for me and Cuzzindeke to drive.

    We believe it to be a 1932 Graham roadster or touring car body. It has a much deeper cowl than a Model A which will make for nice leg room.

    Paul:

    "I would give you everything in my pocket for that modified"...anybody you know?

    nice load you picked up. Glad you were able to get them both on the trailer.

    I like the wheel change.

    Exactly. With the wheel-change, it now doesn't just look like "a hack-job", looks like something a guy would've put together (took apart? LOL) in the late '30s...and that's cooooool!
     
  21. Yeah and did he tell you how much I had in my pocket ??? >>>>.

    Bruce, dealing with you is like being a contestant on "Let's Make a Deal". You might choose door #3 and end up with a jackass. :D
     
  23. I was thinking more like The Price Is Right !!! >>>>.
