I was just gathering parts to fix an old broken build when I got distracted by my parts pile. I was digging around and came across the block and blower from the Stevens international reissue of the parts pack engines. So my mission changed and I gathered parts to build something with that. I am low on hot rod kits to bash, so I came up with what I could. I kept it traditional as far as suspension goes so I can post on TRAK if I can figure out a hosting solution for free. I am not chopping this one, east coast style and will do less of a channel than I usually go for. I would like to retain the functioning rumble seat, but that’s looking unlikely, we shall see. The wheels and tires will be modelhaus, but I just ordered so it may be a little while. I am using unknown fronts and modelhaus rears for mock-up purposes as they should be close in size

I just got the 1930 Ford Coupe in an auction and I want to do a channeled, but un-chopped coupe build. I was thinking of buying the new tool 29 roadster and using the wheels, tires, chassis, etc. Is there anything specific that I should know, like if these kits are incompatible, etc? I have always wanted to do a low channeled rod that is un-chopped. I'm 6'3" and in real life a chopped and channeled rod wouldn't cut it, I'd need some head room, and I have always had a thing for tall cabs. Also, I don't know what kind of engine I want to do. I will consider the nail head, but not sure if I want to do a low hp cruiser, like a Flathead, or another monster motor. something like this
