So I bump into this guy @ a show
So I bump into this guy while I was @ GoodGuys Scottsdale.
He say's "I talked to you 5 years ago about buildin me a roadster"
I say " Yeah, so have 2 -300 other people"
He pulls out sum pics and say's " Well I've been collecting parts for 5 years now, and would you finish it up for me"
He dropped it off yesterday.
He sure didn't cut any corners, Brookville body and pinched chassis, Bill Mitchell 427 SBC (saw the dyno sheet, 635 H.P.), Trans Star 700, Currie 9" posi, 4 wheel disck's
The parts he's bought are only the best
This is gonna be a fun buildWhen I get to where I was goin, I forgot why I went there>

Except being a '28-'29, there sure are some familiar looking parts there. Looks like a great fun build. Give us lots of pictures as you do the build.
Just one word of caution - make sure he fits that Glide (appearing)seat and can get his feet on the pedals. I cost me lotsa bucks to find out my size 12 feet at the lower end of my 6'4" frame were in the way.

Neat project .... even better spending someone else's money building it. The down side is ... you'll have to give it back.
Keep us posted.

Only thing better than the build will be the first test run to make sure the new paint stays on when you tap into that engine's potential.
