    I go by the name of Corky. I am a retired locomotive engineer. I have been a hot-rodder since the 60's. It has always been my dream to build a rod from the ground up. Well I finally started it. Building a 23 t-bucket. Flathead ford block is in the machine shop. Block has checked out good waiting on machine work. I have started building my frame. I feel like I am 18 again instead of 66. Will be looking forward to the information I can get from here.
    Thanks
     
  2. Welcome from NC Corky! That's a great one to start with, would love to see the flathead in frame!
