    The small smoked Eel is absolutely lovely to eat Ryan although it has been awhile since I last ate eel.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    ...and some say that escargot is a delicacy, but a snail is a snail to me. Eels would fall in to the same category....

    Heavens no I haven't tried snails, and a slimy oyster isn't going to be passing my lips, either!! Next you'll be touting the benefits of Paua, which is about the closest thing to a piece of shoe leather that anyone could call food!! Yeah jb, I know you say that Paua is good, but seriously?

    1st post, sorry.

    I'm working on a 29 sport coupe my mother bought the year I was born. I found this site after finding out my build (disc brakes, T5, 8.8, 351w) was not traditional enough. I've been doing muscle cars, trucks and 4x4's for 30+ years. When the A became mine, I thought I'd build a way that I could enjoy.

    I found this site when surfing and looking for a more friendly forum to "crafters". Back in the 50's and 60's they built with what was available. I feel I am doing the same thing, just with a few nods toward safety and available parts.

    I'm glad I found this place and hope I can do my part to keep it (and "crafting") alive.

    Eric

    P.S. I've tried snails. With enough garlic and butter.........

    Welcome aboard, Eric.

    If you want to discuss your '29 you should open a thread of your own and show us a few photos.

    I'm curious who decided your build isn't traditional enough. I think that's up to you and no one else. You'll find that no one here is going to be concerned about you making safety and performance improvements. Some folks have fairly strong opinions about what "looks right" and what doesn't, but those are just opinions on personal taste.

    Looking forward to your new thread.

    Welcome Eric, and looking forward to seeing more of your build in a thread of your own. You should be fine here, except for the snails.....

    Snails, LMAO! At least you don't have to get it before it gets you. Haha

    Eric, welcome to CHR! I had a sport coupe body,(very rough and incomplete), that I sold last year. I really wanted to build it, but it needed to go to some one with less projects. Haha I bet I know what place you were on that didn't find your build traditional enough.

    Yep...paua is really good tucker. The one you tried was minced instead of beaten to tenderize the flesh, so it wasn't as good as it could have been.
    Properly beaten paua has a texture similar to snail, and both are good eating.
    Smoked eel is good food too...although it does tend to cause flatulence...but that's a minor detail.

    Nothing to be sorry about Eric..................especially since you understand basic culinary..........put enough garlic on anything and; yummy (that goes for pork fat too!) Being a good "celebrate diversity" kind of guy I've tried a lot of unconventional to the US palette kind of foods. My Italian heritage brought lots of seafood items to the table......eels included (fried with garlic......yummy). I remember when stationed in Thailand back when, there were a lot of guys who just couldn't imagine eating local delicacies. I ate some stuff there that was delicious, but to this day I still don't know what it was. Didn't kill them, didn't kill me...............just enjoy.

    I'm betting it was the HAMB since that's where the self appointed traditional police like to hang. As Jack mentioned we're not as vicious about defending our own opinions.............but can be subtly..............strong willed.

    Roger, you just reminded me of grandad..........he another lifelong Kansan. His recipe for fish:
    Choose your favorite fish.
    Season to taste.
    Place carefully on a thin pine plank with corn oil to lessen sticking.
    Place on the grill over moderate pile of charcoal.
    Cover to hold in moisture.
    Remove planked fish from fire once flesh turns opaque.
    Scrape the fish off the plank into the garbage can and eat the plank.

    hamb was my guess. wasted band width there. lot of really great builders and folks there but they have been outnumbered by rockabilly wannab's .
    i see nothing wrong with your build. the only thing that counts is the smile in the windshield .

    Thanks for the welcomes.

    I'll get a thread started soon. "Til then, as a teaser. All Ford except vega steering box, S10 T5 tail shaft and Vette master. No fenders or hood, keeping the rumble seat and hoping for 20 gallons of fuel (my goal).
