Hello from Texas

I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm George, 39 from Texas.
I've got a '31 Model A Ford 5 window coupe, in '63 my dad had the car completed and drove it until '71 when I was born, then let it sit up when it needed a new transmission. It was channeled on a narrowed and shortened
'57 Chrysler frame. Torsion bar front suspension, 12" drum brakes. 392 Hemi, push button shifter automatic.
The car's in bad shape from sitting for almost 40 years, but it has never been rained on so that is a plus. It needs lots of body work and it won't be anytime soon that I can get started on it.

Here's an old one when dad was building the car. There weren't many when the car was on the road and I don't have anything recent.

Pictured here, you'll notice the 354 Poly engine that has been long gone. Have no fear, I've got 6 Hemi's to choose from, this one's getting a 392.

Yes, it's not far at all from the stateline.
