Default New guy intro.

Been here since 2012, I've been most active on the HAMB. Tried to buy some car parts and said I didnt have any post to send a message. So hopefully this may suffice.
I have a 1936 Ford Coupe and a 1927 Ford roadster, flathead powered on a 32 ford frame.

Here is my 36 Ford, I am wiring it up, I bought it from an older gentleman who couldn't finish it, I dropped the rear, adding fender skirts, removed the bucket seats, added a 1937 Zephyr wheel, has hydraulic brakes all around, upgraded to a dual master and the list goes on and on. It has the original flathead in it, which I am going to run.

Where on earth did you find a '32 frame? I have '32 running gear just looking to find a frame that I don't have to take a second mortgage on and sell my firstborn for. LOL

Come on now, you only need two more posts to have a TEN-count. With TEN, you can use PMs and "Swap Meet". DD
