These are some of the cars I have built over the years, Dave had asked for them, so here they are.
My deuce coupe
my 49 Ford
my A bone
another chanelled 31 A
my 29 sedan 40 pickup shop truck and the front of my 32 ford coupe
my Track T and my 34 Plymouth coupe
All these cars were built by me and were all steel bodies, no fiberglass.
Hope I didn't boar anyone with this.

Thanks guys, that is only the tip of the iceberg. I have been building cars in this style since 1975. I have built over a hundred for myself and at least had my hand in that many more for friends and family.
its been a long ride.

Certainly no stockers in that group, but now you know why I like the suede on your coupe!
That and I am NO painter! I can hand lay some old style flames by hand tho!

Thanks David, it was one of my favorites too. The track t had a Volvo 4 banger with steel crank, I put a bobcat 2/53 supercharger on it with no pop off valve. at 12lbs of boost, it would send the belt about 30ft in the air!. finally fixed that. it also had a five speed with electric overdrive, you could actually shift that car ten times if you felt like playing around and showing off.

They were supposed to handle up to 500hp, but I never saw that, the 122 cubic inch motor with blower and two carbs put out about 200. the car weighed 1350 wet, so it was a spirited ride at best!. no problems with GV unit tho, it had a switch on the shift knob to kick it in or out.

My fave is easy.....love that shoebox Ford! All are very cool and I'm jealous. Never got to build anything, just repair and rescue.
