    Another So Cal guy here finally decided to join in. I have a 30 model A Ford coupe project that has been in storage for the last 30 years. I drove the car to high school and it burned to the ground when I was 21, 1977 LOL. I packaged it up and went into the Airforce. I tinkered on it a some 20 years ago and now decided its time to get it out and get it going. Im 55 now and can give it the time it needs to do it justice. I chopped it 3 1/2" put a 327 with a tunnel ram in it along with a Powerglide to get to the next light faster. Guess its old school now but never ran... Ive been looking around for a while and figured I try this Forum thing out and see how it works. Anxious to get rid of some of that 70's look and make it look more 5o's or early 60's.

    LOL... I took it away from my Dad the day I turned 16. He is 76 now and I think I want to get it going to give him a few rides in it before he's gone. Good motivation!
