Well, I haven't sold the Track T yet; I decided to wait until after the holidays. Now I may wait until Spring is a little closer. It's tough to get people excited about an open car when the weather is crappy and cold.
However, I have taken the first steps toward my new build. Thursday I put a deposit on a Deuce frame at Clarke Hot Rods in Ormond Beach. I've had a lot of time to think about what I want and I remembered what got me interested in hot rods as a child. My first hot rod toy was a little blue plastic fenderless roadster that my mother bought in my grandmother's variety store when I was about 5 years old. I think it cost 39 cents which was a common price for a kid's toy in 1953. I remember asking my dad what kind of car it was when he got home from work that afternoon - he told me it was a '32 Ford. I don't know the exact fate of that little car; I probably played with it until the wheels wouldn't stay on it or it may have been broken somehow, but I remember what it looked like. So.., I have decided that my next build will be a Deuce highboy roadster. At my age, this could be my last build, so I am coming "full circle" by building the real life version of what started it all in my mind. I will start a new thread for that build when I get the frame home and actually begin.
Meantime, if anybody knows someone who wants a pretty little Track-T, contact me!
