I thought I'd post some pics of what I've been working on for the last year &1/2 to see what you all think.To start I bought a 1930 ford roadster from a guy in my area. It was listed as a real 50's/60's hot rod . After looking at the car it looked to be true so I grabbed it for a decent price. It did run when I got it but there was a lot of things that were unsafe an looked to be very old school backyard way of building style. (real chunky welds and lots of brazing ext... So I started ripping into it. Changed some things to how I would like it.The body sides were completly covered with sheet metal and built out about 2" at the bottom and sort of looked like a kit car from the back. I decided to tare it all off to open the biggest can "o" worms I've ever seen. So spent this summer learning to do body work.Wow it's a lot of work but its starting to look good. Had to stop because old man winter is showing his nasty face . This winter I will continue the work on the chassis. That's about it for now oh yeah this my first build so some things might not make sence to some of you lifers but I'm doing the best I can so any advice or suggestions would be great . -Some specs are 59 364 buick nailhead ST 400 trans - modded A frame -34 front axle -40 ford brakes -52 f1 steering box -50's ford truck rear end (I think) -Ford 16' steel /w firestone 750 rear 550 front - Lots of custom made goodies. Thanks and hope you all like it!!! cm30.
