New to the site but not the kulture!! I have been browsing the site for months now and I have finally decided to join. I am custom truck builder by night and a company salesman by day. I have built many custom trucks and have been in a few mags for my work. I am just now starting to branch into the rod spectrum of the industry and start building rods for customers. I have always had a strong love for early customs and era specific rods.Adn have always wanted to build one for myself. But where I live bagging new trucks and custom body mods pays the bills. I am currently in the market for a 29-31 sedan and really would liek to find something driveable right away. My current schedue with two SEMA truck being built and daily work , I don't have time to buidl one right. SO I need to find one and work as time allows!! Looking into this car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4545189917&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
welcome to the HAMB.That ebay A coupe looks like it could be a good start for your first rod project. did you bid on it yet?
yeah I am the high bidder right now. We'll see how high it goes. I love the car and looks like a good start to me.
Thanks for the kind words folks. I am working all the particulars on the A now. I think she'll be in the garage by next week. I just got to make sure nothing else pops up between now and then. I figured everyone likes pics so I thought I would post a few of some of the newer vehicles I have built!! 1999 Chevy Tahoe, featured in Sport Truck mag March 2005. Everythign doen in my garage, including paint. Stock floor bodydropped 4 inches to lay rocker, airbag suspension, narrowed rearend 8 inches, custom interior sheetmetal, suicide doors, color change to Ifinity Silver mist, etc
Welcome man- hope to see some shots of your A when you get it. I am sure you'll do a fine job. Nice truck. Looks like lots of sweat went into that. Where the hell is coolidge at?
Heres another. This one is the shop truck. Being built to show my talents and will debut this year at SEMA 2005 in Las Vegas. Truck is a 1993 Chevy crew cab dually. Tradionally channeled 4.5 inches to lay rocker, completly shaved, full custom frame (right now 2x4 , but has been cut off to be replaced with 1 3/4 DOM tubing), rear suicide doors, 383 SBC pumping about 600 HP on race gas, 24.5" SEmi wheels custom milled to use 24" light truck tires, and also custom milled desgins, custom one off interior, etc, etc. As you can see it is mostly in pieces in my garage. But you get the point more pictures here www.fletcherscustoms.homestead.com Finished product plan:
Coolidge is in he middle of nowhere!! Jump on I-75 south in ATL, come south till you hit Valdosta then come 45 miles west and you'll find me. Its little town of about 500 people. Inbetween Moultrie and Thomasville
I have seen that Tahoe in moultrie....are you the same guy with that blazer with the wild leopard skin paint? I was wondering where coolidge was too..haha...It sounds about the size of Reynolds....JAMIE
No ****!!! That's cool. We need to get together one weekend. I'll have the new shop open soon and will be having a open house
Welcome, and the Model A looks like it would be a nice one. Word to the wise though. You might consider backing off on the lowrider airbag tahoe pics. Not really right for this forum. I personally could care less but I have seen a a few guys get ripped a new one over that kind of ****. Good luck on the A-Bone
