Hi Everybody!
My name is Dave and I'm in Victoria, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada (just above Washington state). I'm 63 and have been into cars since I was 15. I had a 20 year stint in oval track racing and almost 10 years ago I began the build of a '28 Ford sedan in a "mostly-traditional" hotrod style. The mockup is almost finished. Some time ago, my wife mentioned that she would like a T-bucket, so I got a set of chassis plans, a friend gave her a rebuildable 283, and I had a set of MX-6 seats that didn't pan out on my '28. But recently, a co-woker gave me a tip on a '27 project car that was in one of the local internet "for sale" sites. I checked it out and ended up buying it. A '27 glass body, nice frame, 302 Ford V8 automatic with low miles, two rearends, three frontends, plus a score of other parts for very decent dollars. It all has to be married up which is definitely within my range of skill but I hope to pick up tips from experienced members here for things that will no doubt crop up as the build unfolds. I in return will offer any experience I have that may be of help to other members. Thanks! Regards, Dave.
