    Well the Pickle boy is back!

     



    I have been neglecting my internet friends on here for a while now and not updated anything about my current build....

    While I have been a bit ignorant I have been busy building. My old Tudor is now moved on to another rodder and I have used up almost every left over part I have been collecting to stitch together my current "jalopy". I will try to be little more "regular" from now on....Promise

    1930 roadster
    sbc
    5 speed box
    8inch diff
    four bars front and rear
    buggy spring.

    aka THE GHERKIN!

    Here are a couple of shots of my new build.
    (approx 18 months and 20 years of parts...)

    Very nice Andrew! Very nice......

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    This has got to be the only place in the world where one straight guy can tell another straight guy he has a sweet A and get away with it.
