New from Mississippi

[George Cato]

Hello Guys! I been reading the past few months, and called RPM today to order my front end to start my new project. We talked for a minute and I realized that I seen Ron's name on one of the post, and ask if this was the same person... turned out it was. And here I am... I am excited about this new build and it was great talking to Ron and getting new info. As soon as I can post pics I will be posting my build! And hoping I get good info from yall along the way.

The swap meet went great! I found an old body stretched, hung passenger door, and floor. You could tell it was sitting in shed or something... needs some TLC, paid very little for it... can't wait for the front end to arrive from RPM! 2 weeks should have a rolling chassis!

 

[old round fart]

Great find! Stretched bodies are fairly new to the scene so it may not be real old.

@old round fart thanks for that info, I asked around today. It seems to have been built from a local company that had a few 1929 bodies that they have built also, they seem to be getting out of the business, and are just trying to get rid of old stock. The gentleman that I bought the body from, said that he got the body 5 or 6 years ago, and never started the project. So long story short... I got a body super cheap! Hahaha.

Haha! Well sometimes in the garage you have to stop and have fun with the fellas... Tons of stories to be told!

Well it looks like to me he has never turned loose of the bottle since he first gripped
it. The cup is only a convenience item, glass is hard on the teeth if the closing rate
on the mouth is too high towards the end of the bottle. clank clank clank ouch!!!!
