hey all, my name is erica, from the metro area of portland, oregon. i'm very interested in traditional and period correct hot rods and customs (mostly late 50's/early 60's customs and show/street rods and post-war hot rods). my fiance' is helping me to build my first hot rod, currently all we have is a early/mid 60's JC Whitney T-style drag racing frame (basically the same thing you would get from total performance today), a 46 ford rear, and plans to use a pontiac 389 or 400.. or maybe a chev or gmc 6.. but i want the body to be a 23-25 or 26-27 bodied roadster in an early 60's t-bucket style but w/o the silly shortened bed and steering column standing straight up and down. Probably will run on americans or ansen style wheels and with no exceptions bias ply's all the way around. anyhow, thats all for now! -Erica
