mdlahotrod...another new/old guy

[mdlahotrod]

Hi yall. I'm an old car guy converting a 29 Ford Rat rod into a nice street rod as a retirement project. I love rat rods but this one was just a little too ratty and unsafe. It'll still have the rat rod look but updated some. I've been doing handpainted pinstriping and lettering for the past 35 yrs as a hobby and very little mechanical work so I'll be asking for a lot of advice from the experts here. Thanks and happy to be a part of this forum.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the info on here. I've already been enlightened by the advice here and have taken it. Got a long build ahead of me but I'm retired now. What else do I got to do.

bike color

Thanks 23Troadster. It was a new color for 2014. It looked a lot different in the showroom. Told my wife to stop by the dealership just to check out the color. Next thing I know, we're signin papers.

Pinstriping

26Troadster. Sorry I got your title wrong by putting 23T. My bad. Well....here are some pictures of my stripin ability. I can do this stuff all day long but when it comes to mechanican.......well, haven't done much of that since I was in my 20's about a million yrs ago. Not much call for stripin around here though. You'd think there would be bein this close to Daytona but just ain't. I still do some for friends and family but not to make any money. Wasn't makin any anyway.
