That's the fun part, taking your time and building it yourself and with your friends. Even if it takes a while, that's alright. I'm not knocking the guys who do it, but I don't think I could be one to hand it over to a professional shop and pay them build it. One, I could never afford it and two, I dont think you could get the same pride as when you do it yourself; even if it's not as perfect.

Most of the speed builds i think end up sold off right away . When we do it our self's we have a drive to keep it awhile when its done . I know this next one is my last one i am going down to 2 cars but i really would like to have a 33 or 34 someday . The wheeling and dealing is coming to a end hhmmm.

I gotta tell you, building that truck was a blast. I'm thinking along those lines but more refined. Something with a "T" or "A" based chassis with a slightly dropped front axle, some type of open roadster body. Real utilitarian with no chrome or new speed parts. I just happen to have another flathead six sitting here along with some kingpin spindles, a good steering box, an S-10 five speed...............Don't get me sidetracked, I gotta finish this one f1rst.

Falcon hhmm looks like you will have a big big shop soon . I see these are easy to get a start and move on maybe something i look into also . Once my life is back together if it ever is retirement and building could be in the future too .
But first stay on the coupe ideas are always of interest to me when someone is doing a car . Also gives me more get up and watch.
Oh Sunday should be a new pic up there on the left >

All I have to say is that Falconvan has motivated me by this build thread to get off my butt and get started on my 46 Chrysler. I have no money to put into it right now at all but I am going to work with what I have now and get moving on it.www.streamlineautocare.com
If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
