During the time when I was building Hot Rods and Street Rods,1959-1980. I built 13 A models, but only 3 Deuces, all of them traditional Hot Rods! I built other cars, but They were Street Rods, incorperating the tech of the seventies! I love both the A Model, and the Deuce! There were many more Model A Hot Rods on the Road Back Then Than There were Deuces. Two reasons the Model A was Lighter, and it cost less to build!

I am right now living in two Motel rooms waiting for the Insurance Co. To settle my claim so we can rebuild our home and our lives. I can tell you right now that with the way that fire happened the Insurance co. will make that guy's life hell before they settle his claim.

When I was a kid I bought models at the local Hobby shop, the five and dimes, Western Auto, and My Favorite Place The Local Firestone Dealer, who had monthly Model Car Contest, and Owned one of the Coolests AV8s I have ever seen!

Great Build!

Very Cool T Bucket, That is a Great Candy Red paint job!

I started building Hot Rods in 1959 when I was 12 years old, with help from my Uncle who owned a large speed shop. That first Hot Rod was a 30 A Model Roadster that I bought from a local man that was unable to drive it due to his age. I paid $20 dolars for it and it still ran [ Smoked a lot but it ran}. I imediatly started taking it a part, I found that the body had no serious rust, but rust had gotten to the frame to the point it was a total lose. So I started diging throuh the Salvage yards for a usable frame and all the other parts I could find. It took me three years and over $400 to get that first Hot Rod on the street, It ended up with a 51 caddy engine with three Dueces an a chevy truck Trans. That First Hot Rod never got past Primer and the seat was covered Surplus Army Blankets. In 1976 I finished a 46 Ford Opera Coupe With A Chevy 350 Lt1 / 400 Turbo, Nova Front Clip, and Jaguar Independant Rear Power Stearingand Power 4 wheel disc brakes custom iterior with heat and air, Custom body work and Paint. Today I like to build Traditional Hot Rod Models, but I also build the occational Modern Street Rod.

I grew up on Medow Brook Farm in the Yadkin Valley, in Northwestern North Carolina. The Farm was about 12miles from Lenoir and surrounded by mountains. Great hunting, and Trout fishing!

I was six when I built my first model car !

Wild Rat Pick-up! I Like It A Lot!

That is truly an amazing Garage Find!
