Post by: Geoff on March 25, 2007, 01:46:53 PM: At the moment no VW projects but I'm very busy with a 1931 Ford project. I'm building a early style Hot Rod for a guy from the ground up. It's going to be a pretty cool car when it's done, 1931 5 window now with a 5\" chop..4\" channel over a custom built frame, 3\" kick in the fron 16\" in the rear. Crate 350 with vintage Tri Power,5 speed, 50 merc dash. Lot's of fun but still a long way off.

I'll post a few pic's later...if anyones interested.

Congrats on the heb.
Who bought it?
The Ford looks great.
I remember when I saw you driving the Heb@Goodguy's in Pullalip!
That reminds me, I should start planning for that trip.
Are you going to the Classic this year?
Shawn

Title: Geoff, Any Cool New Projects You Are Working On?
Post by: Geoff on March 26, 2007, 07:49:39 PM: amishrabbi, Yeah it's a fenderless car so you'll see all the frame holes down the side.
