metalmaster I'm on the west side of Newport. you or any locals should stop over and hang out if you get a chance. the club is always doing grillouts and or hitting the local shows in the summer. we are getting together here 2-3-08 for pizza and to watch some old hotrod movies, stop by if you want. 317 Lindsey St. Newport Ky 41071.
chopper tom I have a good friend that grew up in whiteburg. Ray Hall. do ya know any Halls? my kin are all from Clay County Ky too. That's not to far from you. I don't make it down there much anymore. 1 or 2 times every couple of years.
eyeball ask and you shall receive.
If you are local you may have seen me in this 61 Bel Air. I had it about 3 years. I have 3 kids plus the ol' lady and needed a 4 door so this was bought, built and drove the wheels off her. it was a true daily driver that went through rain, snow, and alot of hot days. I racked up a lot of miles gong to shows, cruise ins and vacations. I even pulled in a few trophies with it. not bad for a home built, 4 door beater. I traded it off for my 34 this last summer.
I was looking for a model A and came across this 34 Dodge. I'm a big guy and thought that the Dodge may fit me better than an A(or I may fit in the Dodge better I should say) The 34 is a 50's early 60's? hot rod from back in the day. while welding the roof insert up I found where the top was chopped and filled with lead and another spot where I guess they chopped it down even more later in it's life. they use bondo to smooth out their work there. I also found what was left of a french antenna. I tried to track the history of the car but hit a dead end. anyone know anything about this Dodge? I popped the 350 that was in it and I'm in the middle of building another engine for it now.
Then there's my 36 truck I'm working on. it has a built to the hilt 454 big cam 3500 stall too much to list. let's just say it should be real fast. I posted my build log on here so if you want to check out my progress hit that thread.
I have a few more toys that are on the back burner till I get around to them too. early 50's Rambler shown below that I'm going to fix for my wife to drive, 51 Chevy full blown Kustom and a model A cowl that I'm hoping to turn into a roadster pick up one day.
sorry so long guys. can you tell I like cars.lol
