Another newbie from Maryland

[Pbakersville]

Hey guys...and perhaps gals, I am excited to be getting into this forum after ending a 12 year affair with a muscle car. It was tough to say good bye but it was the only way to get my 29 tudor. I have always been drawn to then time and time again at shows and cruise inns. I finally woke up one day and said enough is enough. I swapped out the 69 Camaro for the 29 Ford and have never looked back.

This looks like an incredible place to learn and I look forward to seeing your projects and ideas.

Always glad to see new rat lovers. Spray on a little b---s--t repellent and join in on the fun......... More pics, more pics, more pics,........ These members here are some very talented builders.......(as yuv'e probably noticed)
I know a man that was into the traditional rod circuit for many years. He also sold his high dollar car and bought a 1903 Rambler to run in parades only. He called it the ulcer circuit. Always fearing a scratch on his ride or taking 2nd place in a show....... Oh the woes of the rich and famous........[cl

I hope you're not planning on chopping that thing it looks great just like it is. Curious about the engine too, welcome to RRR you've found the right place.

Welcome to RRR Pbakersville from NC. Nice ride dude. Keep the pic's coming, we have withdraws without them...........LOL

 

[Pbakersville]

Yup thats a 12 banger. 1978 Jaguar engine with custom cast aluminum intake holding a pair of Holly's. It doesnt run to bad, I am still working out the fuel mixture but you should hear that thing rev through the zoomies (ear splitting).

I wasnt going to chop it but I am toying with the idea. The previous owner built the frame and it has a TON of flex in the front end. I want to shorten it by about a foot or so. The thing has a 14 foot wheel base!!

Welcome to RRR, Pbakersville. Nice tudor & really like the Jag 12. Got some kin not far from you over in Smithsburg. My 2nd home growing up.

 

[sixtall]

I'm lovin' your '29. Glad you could join us.

 

[Pbakersville]

Nice, I grew up in Smithsburg myself. A stones throw from Gardenhour orchards

 

[BruceR&C]

Cool, I remember Gardenhour from when I was a kid. My Aunt & Uncle used to own the old farm on 77 about 1/2 mile from 64. I remember when the High School was built.
