Hello, my name is Ted and I'm a die hard gear head. I work in the energy sector and I have a little shop in the back yard that I call Dead Man's Customs where I can vent. I've built trailers and cooking grills for folks but I feel the calling of the rods again. I've been around cars all of my life. I took some time off for a few years from cars to finish college and to start raising a child with my wife. I've had Chevelles, Camaros, a 57 Chevy, a big block Impala, and a couple of Vettes. Enough with that ****, old street rods and rat rods are where its at! My Dad p***ed a couple of years ago and I limped his old 39 Ford Standard coupe across town to get her going and to finish what the old man started, all in his name. I need you old dude's help as I know nothing about flatties. I do think they are cool and nostalgic. I look forward to talking with each of you. Right now the Ford is dead, something in the dual carbs. Ted...
