Just found out about this site from my pops Dirty2. Been around hot rods my whole life. Personally built a 65 Falcon, 31 Model a Coupe, 34 Ford Truck, and my most recent build is a 30 Ford Roadster nailhead powered. Look forward to helping out in anyway and learning more about hot rods.
Heres a pic of my Roadster

Hi, welcome, I like the rides, i have a pair of the Buick tailights you have on the '34. I was gonna run 'em on my truck but found a pair of '50 pontiacs in better shape, but i like the Buicks more.

Thanks, YEah I like the Buick tailights, I bought that truck cab and bed locally and it had those tailights in it. Took me alittle searching to figure out waht they were. Bought some new lenses and loved them. Was a old hot rod channeled truck. Dont know what happened to the origanal frame so I put a new chassis under it. Thanks again

Rust is only a problem for a while, then it falls out and becomes a "lightening hole", vent port, or easy-access panel. :)
Welcome to RRT, those look like fun rides!

later jim
No snow here. Got up to the 90's again. Where did spring go.
Welcome. Love your rides, especially the coupe. I'm partial to red wheels.
Gotta ask you, what did you have to do to get the '35 wire wheels to bolt up to the early Ford brakes (I am guessing this is the setup you have) ? I have been collecting '35 wheels, and my Son tells me there is an adapter ring to make them fit well against the drum.
Once again, welcome.

Paint ??? It took 20 pluss years to get them that color . :D
Welcome from Nebraska!
Quote from: "Bib_Overalls"Good ta have you here!
Vern Tardel in Santa Rosa, CA has the adaptor rings. They make the wheel set "right" on the drum. I think he has a web site now.

Don, The front go straight on the 40-48 hubs, The rears you got to get spacers. Usually 1 1/2 inches sometimes 2" Depending on brake drums/ On The Coupe I had wheel adapter and 1/2 plate spacers. Hope this helps
Very nice bunch of rods you got there, especially the coupe, looks awesome, It's a real killer. 8)

Lots of miles and lots of hours. You going to Dewey to the Straycat 500
I'm not sure yet but I'm planning to go to Straykat 500. I met your dad and his daughter last weekend at Jefferson. I hope to meet you too. Which one will you be driving? I will probably go in my flatblack 39 Ford pickup-blue wheels

Man, those are some cool cars. Welcome. Don't ever put on on them. Up here in the frozen north, we have to have paint, but that look is really cool. Every year at the NSRA Northeast show in Vermont, there is a guy that pulls in with a '39 Chevy coupe, all rusted out. It attracts a lot of attention. I'm not sure how much longer he can drive it before it falls apart, though. Up here, they rust even in the summer.
Thanks 48builder
