    Hello everybody. I've been searching and reading posts for a short while now as I just joined. I was reading here that i should introduce myself. I'm Chris, an electrical engineer for AT&T with a few old cars and one of them is a 1929 Ford Model A highboy made to duplicate that which is featured in the Bishop and Tardel book on how to build a traditional Ford hot rod. The rear end is currently apart, way, way apart, from the missing front drive shaft bearing and mashed speedo gears, to finding lots of metal in the Halibrand 201, so I'm replacing lots of parts. Here's a photo of it on its first outing of the year at a local show. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of cool people (I do own a Studebaker, and as they say in the Studebaker Driver's Club, "We invented cool"... lol) Anyway I thoroughly enjoy reading the posts and questions and answers and hope someday I can contribute! Thanks and hope to chat with a bunch of you soon!

    Welcome from mid-California! I’ve got a Model A roadster and a Studebaker pickup too! Nowhere near as nice as yours though, lol.

    You asked for it... original paint, i made the sign on the door to match a milk delivery truck in connecticut here from the 50's, my brother did the stencil it's vinyl magnetic. white walls don't belong on a farm truck. that's the original address of the farm and correct phone number. rebuilt the motor, replaced all the rubber, replaced wiring harness, need to do a valve job this spring i have all the valves and guides just need to get one project car out of the shop so i can move another one in!
