To
paraphrase someone, "The Street Rod is the only original
American car design". When I was young they were Hot Rods,
but that is another story. I am a lifelong car nut and
my car adventure began with a 1950
Ford.
In
the 1950s you also joined a car club. The one I was involved with
(actually on of the founders) was the CLASSICS. Many years later
we had a reunion. Check these old rodders @ the reunion CLICK HERE.
It
was midlife before I built my first Street Rod, thanks to the
help and talent of Randy Mead of Ravon Street Rods. The result
was the '32 Ford 3-window coupe below. Would I build another one?
If I did it would be a Woodie, see Wish List.

Coupe

- This "Little
Deuce Coupe" was my first Street Rod. Built over a 2 year
period, I got in two years of Rod Runs and Cruising before selling
it to a rodder in Northern California. The car is now in Southern
California.
