Well. I have been snooping around your site for a bit now. I like it. Thought I would sign in. I do not have any hot rod, street rod or rat rod, but I have a rock rod as some call it. I have a built jeep for rock crawlin. I am looking at getting something to cruise in though. When I find the right ride, ill post it up.
Well it took me a year, but I got something to build. I sold the jeep, and bought this. Its a 47 plymouth 2 door sedan. I also have a 71 fury with a 360, 727 trans, and 8 1/2 rear for it. as well as a valoria front clip. I think it will be a good project for my boys and I to do.
Plymouth's are Kool !............forgive me for saying this, makes more sense to cruise slow and low, than to rock with the rock's. JMO. firstnomad www.angelfire.com/jazz/flatlandstudio
It looks like my truck sitting alongside your project.It`s my avatar by the way. Plenty of tech help on the HAMB
Yes. Thats my uncles place. Theres alot of those around there. He has a few really cool ones too. I was wanting one, but I wouldnt have room for the wife and kids in it, so we went with the plymouth. There is a 37 ford ex paddy wagon. I wanted it, but he wanted more than I could afford at the time. Next time im out there ill snap some more pics for you all. He used to have a mustang grave yard, but it has turned more into a 40's-50's ford truck grave yard now...lol He has a 48? ford panel. a 47 truck, 2 67 fast backs done, a rare 70 grabber 302, not a boss, or anything, but more rare. he has had it since it was new. it needs restored again though. Mine sitting out there till I get the floors done, front clip and the motor swap done. I dont have 220 at my place just yet.Plus he has all the tools for body work, where as I dont. The really bad thing is. He lives in north west Indiana about a hour from Chicago. I live in central Indiana. about 2 1/2 to 3 hours form each other. so I really want to get that stuff done as soon as I can so i can get it home to work on it....I cant wait.
this is what I sold to build my plymouth.. the paddy wagon I wanted, Its may still be for sale. I know he has kinda wanted to keep it and sell his other panel. but Ill find out this weekend if someone is interested.
