chopped and channeled / Sat on Sat post

If your are thinking about building a hot rod for the first time.
Go to a swap meet, or even eBay and start building a collection of old magazines.
So much cool stuff has been built before us, that is the traditional part of this.
And it's not such a narrow focus as others would have you believe.
I had a guy tell me that my double z'd frame can't build a traditional hot rod.
I say he's wrong. Check out this Model A coupe..



 ( I have a better answer now for the steering box)

Yesterday turned into a mess. But today I got Nick's frame off to IA
he's building a channeled 1929 Tudor.
Should be a very cool hot rod.
Thanks for being patient !

Canada ?

No I ain't moving north.
Kevin is building his coupe in Canada. He already lives there.
Doing a nice job, and some cool details I won't show now (dash).

Dodge truck

If you're going to become true dodgeballers, then you've got to learn the five d's of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!

buddy of a pal has a few 1950's dodge trucks.
Low budget build, I figure a IFS front and parallel spring rear kit.
less then $3,000.00 you can get it sitting right. ( I do sell all the parts needed )
If'n it were me, I'd do swap a LS motor and trans from a newer Chevy truck, and do burnouts.

Something like this here;
