    GaryC.

    After a long search and an even longer wait I'm finally getting a rod!
    It's a '29 Ford with a 5" chop and 5" channel. Small block Chevy.
    Hand built chassis. Disks on the front. What it need is the body finished and
    an interior. It's not exactly a traditional rod but I think it's going to be a great
    foundation for a '60s style rod. Wish me luck!

    The drawing are what I have planned for it.
    The photos are of it today.

    Yep, all you have to do is find some of those oval shaped tyres and work out how to curve the chassis like in the illustration and you'll be hot roddin' :D

    Looks like the perfect start for that concept drawing. Congratulations ;)
