Things are looking up.

[tfeverfred]

I can't and won't go into details, but........ things are getting better. Imagine this roadster P/U done "T style". Comments on wheel and tire combos along with other details are welcome. Her name fits. Things happen for a reason. Miss Fortune. Nuff said.

You do know it's a '29.

Yup, I know it's a '29, but I would never steal another persons idea. My version is T bucket style.

The impression I got from meeting Eric, is he would be super proud if you where inspired by his work! I know I am.

There are very few cars I have seen in person or otherwise that I would call "PERFECT". That was one of them. It just has that "LOOK". I can't afford to copy it, but I'll try and make what I have to work with what I have to emmulate it.

 

[tfeverfred]

Lowroller, you have no idea how close that is to the frame that has been done. The kick-up is 13". Yea, she gonna be rad.

 

[Lowrollerchevy]

actualy i do, thats the same car that inspired me to design those plans, so it would be fitting if you used those for this project

 

[Youngster]

Are you going to recycle Miss B's body?

Wow Fred, the city must have really settled up well with you.........the roadster you pictured sold for something like $ 1 million on BJ!! :lol:

There was a '29 that I liked in the magazines years ago, much like what I envision you are talking about, and it was cool. Sort of T Bucket like, with a short bed and deep rake. It was very cool.

Glad to see you are planning the rebirth (in a way) of the wrecked rod.

[LumenAl]

Sounds like perhaps you and the city have come to some sort of agreement?

 

[ACJC]

Fred, that's great things are turning around for you. We'll keep our fingers crossed. I know the new build will be marvelous.
