Built this one from a pile of sheet metal...

Mmm a 30/31, my favorite.. Always nice to see a Model A with a Model A grill, seems like everybody wants to stick a 32 grill in them.

I lnow exactly how it is for life to get in the way of a build.. What youtube channel ? Oh, and yeah, let's see a picture of your truck.

Not much to look at...I'll see if I can find a pic in my computer of my truck, it's pieced together and a project, there are a couple pics in my "prospecting Journal"..... The youtube channel isn't working out as fast as he planned, it's a work in progress...I haven't been involved with it in the past year because of work..He'll get there, I did the beginning parts of the cars and he's been doing most of it himself lately. Doing pretty good for not really knowing anything about mechanics when he started a couple years ago, he also has some physical problems that makes it rough on him to work on things. He'll get there!! He definitely has the drive!!! He was having trouble in this vid..The engine builder put the cams in wrong...He figures it out in a later vid.

Enough to make a man sick just thinking about it, but we can't tell the future unfortunately..

I think tractors are a good first project. Little fords are better than four wheelers to me. Way cheaper to buy insure and easy to get running, cheap to operate, parts easy to find, slow paced, stable, you only need SMV for a license.

Huracan ian, guess I'll have to free up some time to watch them.. I started a Youtube page last year, had my nephew helping me.. We were interviewing my friends and doing a piece on their cars, had a ton of people on the waiting list, I really think it could have been big, but he passed away not long after we started..

He has a couple bigger name guys helping him now, so his vids are improving compared to what they were. Sry to hear about your friend...That's rough stuff. I never did it because I didn't want to be on camera. I may be getting over that.... He lived states away when I was helping and it was really hard to plan things out and when I could be there. So< I never got involved with the channel other than working on his stuff in the beginning. Now, that I live within a couple miles of him, I may help him more if he wants it...He may not even want it at this point he's doing pretty good on his own figuring things out.

Sold my 2-seater last year. It hurt but if you love something set it free.

Put it in the Zone One PCA concourse de elegance car show one year.A weekend event with over 2,000 Porsche's of witch 200 were to be judged. Every car to be judged starts with 300 points & goes down from there....Five ( white gloved judges) spend 20 minutes per car.One under the car,one inside,one under the hood,one overall exterior,one in the trunk.....Out of 200 cars I took 3rd place Thats for Zone One PCA (the entire N.East) . Not too bad for my 1st and only event of this scale w/this car
