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.

Ok here are a few shots, the first is the chassis as it was being built. The lightning holes are a bitch but they look cool!


Next is the rear, Ford diff, So Cal hairpins, coils and pan hard....and more holes!


Motor test fit, once in all three carbs will sit at the same height as the center one.


50 Merc dash, narrowed to fit the small model A body


last the body after many days fitting the stock roof back on and setting the door jams....then a 5\" chop.


It's almost a roller now, wheels are out to be powder coated (thanks Russ) and awaiting tires. Still 2-3 months of work but it's coming along.

Hi Geoff,
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?

amishrabbi, Yeah it's a fenderless car so you'll see all the frame holes down the side.
