Default New guy from Washington. Hello everyone!

Just wondered over here from the H.A.M.B. Im 20 years old and a college student. I have a 28' Roadster pickup thats gonna be a neat little hotrod, and just picked up a survivor 30' coupe thats bone stock. Plans are to keep it about stock. Maybe a high comp head but thats it. Already put 160 miles on the car in 2 days. Its alotta fun! Got a 41' Nash coupe too and some other stuff, but im here for the Model A's

Cheers!

~ Marty


The 28' RPU as found



and how it sits now. EAB flatty, 32' front axle, wide 5's, ect.



And my coupe!

Welcome to a fascinating hobby that will keep you busy for years to come! The roadster will keep you off the streets for sometime. I was about your age when I got my first "A" (tudor). I lived in Washington for a short period so can appreciate the extra wiper on your coupe!

That pickup looked like a perfect canidate for a rod. I think you'll enjoy the stock aspect of Model A's too. Also, that trailer looks barely heavy enough to support the coupe (hee, hee).
