Its 11.30 Don, having a laptop in my workshop helps

I will post some pics later, getting parts used to be difficult but the WWW has helped big time, I'm a Speedway dealer in the U.K. and deal with most of the major U.S. suppliers who are all great.

I have a great deal with a air freight firm here and get most parts in 2-3 days

Steve, please post up some pictures of your other cars. Like most forums, we LOVE pictures, especially nice cars like you build. Unless we underestimate the amount of hot rod parts available overseas, it has to be tough to collect all of the parts you need to do these. I live in Florida and have trouble sometimes!

Don

Welcome and truely marvelous work Steve. Cheers!

My vote for starters would be pics of the wife's rpu and some of that stainless chassis bling for the T coupe.........................just a request.

Hi Bob thanks for the positives.

Here are some pics, I take it its ok to post them here ???

Firstly my T Bucket, I built this in 1999 as an exercise as someone said to me that you couldn't build a nice rod under £7,000 so i built this for £5,000, It wasn't easy but buying the right parts got me there. I really love this little car and it has seen some serioius abuse over the years, it runs regular 12.6 on the quarter and also won a slalom competition last year so it handles as well.





This is my wifes 29A R/P, Built it for here 4 yars ago as she wanted a Rod, This one was a budget build as she paid for it all herself, I helped out with the labour.

Here's some pics of my 26T coupe chassis which is my next project so not a great deal to show, I just work on it when i get a bit of spare time at the moment.

Front spring perch









Front chassis leg



Engine mounts

And to think you only started doing this stuff 6 months ago!

Really pretty stuff Steve. I love your Mrs. RPU. At first I thought she was just a passenger, then I remembered you guys drive on the wrong side of the road.

I've saved this picture of your T for a while. You guys over there sure aren't afraid to take em out and beat on them, are you?

Don

To be honest Don my favourite pic of Sue's car is this one below, It was her idea to fit the Radir wheels which i personally don't like on the car, When i built it it was intended to look like an old Rod redone.




The buildup is on my website.

The cars are unbelievable, this this is just plain sick. Very nice workmanship!
