Quote from: "Charlie Chops 1940"Particularly like the 2 new gassers. I did clean out an 18X18 storage room in my building, it, left room to work on one small car. The chassis room I guess.Charlie

Do I hear the words Anglia, Austin? GPster

Looks like I'm gonna add to the '32 collection...believe I made a deal involving some parts and a few dollars this morning for a Deuce pickup cab and box.

That the one you were telling me about the other day?

Charlie Chops 1940 · December 09, 2007, 11:27:29 AM

I think so. I accepted his offer this morning, but I haven't heard back yet.

Wow Charlie, you needed another project.
Hope you leave enough room for the beer cooler, I would height to lose that.

why can't I post pics here? The ones I'm trying to post went fine on the other board.

Try again. Got it was monkeying around the other day and ended up with Adobe Photo Shop just went and removed that and now the pics will post.

I know this is a rather crude and simple mock-up but hey it's a start. The body is the front half of a 27 Touring car, power is 454/T400. As you can see I'm in need of a frame. I'm debating on whether to build one from scratch or find a Model A frame. I would really like to find a frame with the vin numbers legible. I've collected a fair amount of the needed parts already.

You need a bigger motor.

My brother has an interesting T frame. It is an original large truck frame. It has the car frame look to it but much heavier made and of course longer. We have always thought it could be adapted for use as a rod frame.

Yea I know I really need bigger but I'm trying to do it low buck. So I'll have to sacrifice having a blower with 2 4's sitting on it. LOL At this time I've got less than $200 in both motor and trans. Came out of one of the Burbs I scrapped out, it ran and shifted great. So I won't have any outlay of rebuilding things. Boy I put a want frame ad on the Ford Bard and within 2 hours had 8 responses of frames w/vins.

I picked this up yesterday. 54 Ford F100. It has a Mercury V-8 and Auto trans. It has been setting in the yard for 17 years. The owner gave me such a good price I could not pass it up.
