    '46-'48 Chevy Stylemasters are cool,plenty of room for kids,dogs etc.
    Had to let my '46 go a few years ago to pay the bills,that hurt!
    Keep us up dated,Isaac,and let us know what you get.
    Happy shopping!

    Sorry to hear you sold your dream car. But on the bright side I had to do the same thing at one time. I bought a 53 4 door Bel Air now I know not the coolest car ever made it is bone stock just adjusted the al***ude a little My Wife LOVE'S that car and she is really into now and I now have a 29 Tudor and 50 Chev style line. So things came out even better for me now as I know it will for you. Don't tell anyone but I love driving the 4 door also.

    Damn man, that ****s.
    I was looking forward to you getting it all finished.

    I guess some projects take to much time away from the family,and the house.
    IMHO I would get a 53-54 chevy!
    Looking forward to the new thread on what ever you get!

    well man. i just listed mine for sale as well.. I'm in the same boat. Need something to haul the family around in. I had a 53 chevy before and sold it. Regret it all the time. My wife misses it more than me though. I had just got everything needed to put the frame together this year. The only thing I was missing was time, electricity for my welder and some extra cash. Oh well. I'd rather sell a hot rod and take the family in a custom than stare at a frame and not hang out with the family. Like said before. Good things will come later. I figure a little sacrafice will bring great rewards later in life. (like a daughter who wants to be around her dad or a wife who wants me to build her a hot rod!)

    Good luck and can't wait to see the next build!

    Well shes gone.....the guy that bought the car was nice as can be..his friend wasnt "hamb friendly" stating that all hambers can do is read about period hotrods because none of us were in that time blah blah blah......but overall the owner was a really nice guy. Hate to see it go but heres some pics and the last one is of an empty garage.....AAAAAHHHHHHH

    well White, I might be holding on to my coupe now. I traded in my truck so the wife could have a new SUV that is safer for the family and now I'm driving her little import (oh the rice racer jokes can be put on hold please). I plan on just leaving the A in pieces on the shelf until.... well who knows. I'm still looking for that deal of a car with 4 seats that I just can't p*** up though..

    Good luck man and can't wait till you find another and start a new thread, but make sure to put its link in this one as most of us are still subscribed!

    Awe man, I just tonight sat here and got caught up on your build and found out it was gone!

    Yesterday I was heading back to my office and I went through a different part of town than usual and I came across a 1950 Ford 2 door parked next to an old body shop and it has a for sale sign in the window. Nothing special, but it caught my eye.

    Good luck finding the next project man!

    Todd
