New Guy from Iowa

[hotbuick]

Just found your forum this evening. This site looks very interesting. I really like old cars. Finding them, driving them, working on them. I have several projects that I need to work on but time and money always seems to be an issue. I am currently spending a lot of my free time working on my two Morris Minor projects. One which I am in the process of restoring and the other which I am planning to build as a altered/gasser style street rod

Hey hey, another Hawkeye! Welcome. Where are you located? I'm far east - Davenport to be exact. Think you'll like it here.

Those Morris' are awesome little cars. Have that 40's style to them. So what are the plans with the gasser?

altered

Thanks for the welcome! Southeastern Iowa, Centerville to be exact. As far as the altered style Morris project I've already started on a chassis, basically a 2x3 tube frame with a suicide style tube axle in front. I'm using a mid-30's Mopar wavy tube axle with '48 Ford spindles and GM disc brakes. I haven't gotten real far with it other than mounting the spindles and brakes. I've got big and little Torq Thrusters ('60s era) to put on it.

Welcome aboard!!

Did get a little more done on each project. Sometimes time seems to be a premium and work and life get in the way. Guess I'll just have to keep plugging along
