Hey HAMBers, Joined up just now, nice boards you got here. I'm the proud owner of a 1954 Ford Customline, flattie powered, mostly stock apart from dual Reds exhaust and dropped a few inches front and back. I'm hoping to get info/leads to get my flattie rebuilt locally....and also do some good quality bodywork while the engine is out. I've been in contact with Dave Tatom Engines down in Washington state, but is there anywhere closer that I could trust for a nice rebuild? cheers, Rohan Flat_Broke *edit: Here's a picture of 'Ugly Betty'
