Hy, I'm one of the OLD FARTS, just a few days away from the BIG 60.
Been in the hotrod gig for 45 years. It all started with a one ton T Truck in 1961. I made a hell of a mess out of it, but I learned a lot.
Currently have a 30 Ford coupe/ 65-289/4-speed/juice brakes/ all steel/ full hood and fenders, with a 32 grill. Started in 1971, and stored for 30 years. Now I'm trying to get it roadworthy by this summer.
Also have a 56 T-Bird. It has a mild 400M/4-speed/ 9" rear in it.
