new board, and if you found it this fast somebody is already linking us, so welcome. this is for street rods and customs. deuces, 33 and 34 coupes, fat-fender fords, the 40s and 50s customs, resto-mods and pro-touring cars. if it was built, swapped, chopped, bagged or sprayed in somebody's garage instead of rolling off a line, you are in the right place.
you get three boards and i am holding at three. Hot rod talk is the car: stance, paint, flake, chops, show versus drive, and how you store it when the salt trucks come out. Engines, chassis and paint is the hard parts: LS and Coyote swaps, standalone harnesses, 9-inch rears, front end kits, brakes and master cylinders, bodywork. Buying and auctions is where the money talk goes, including the folks buying finished cars off repo and bank lots and finding out what a photograph does and does not tell you.
who i am. wade, i run a two-post lift and a bead blaster out of a pole barn north of Loveland, been building Fords since i was 19 and i am a lot more than that now. i daily a boring crossover and i drive a 31 Model A coupe with a warmed-over flathead and juice brakes that scare me a little on the way down Big Thompson canyon, which is the correct amount.
the rules fit on one hand. your opening line carries the chassis and the motor so nobody has to pry it loose. spent money on a car, drop the figure in, a story with the price cut out of it does the next guy no good. do not move a car or a part inside a thread, there is no for-sale board here and that was a decision, not a slip. anybody earning off this hobby, a booth, a shop, an insurer, a hauler, a sale, flag it when it comes up. past that keep it friendly, the flathead faithful and the LS crowd are stuck sharing the same four pages.
getting in runs through email for now while i swat the spam robots down. send me the car and the town it sleeps in and i will cut you a login. the longer version is parked on the about page. wade.
