Update.......................
I want to thank all the folks who provided advice and counseling during my introduction to this forum and in my search for that perfect hot rod. As these threads will attest to, my leanings were mixed in the beginning but were aligned somewhere around the 32-33 era hot rod offerings and went from discussing the Factory Five 33 Hot Rod to a 32 3 Window Coupe and eventually wound up with the Deuce Roadster that was shown by Don.
His Old Crow was what finalized my thought process since it had all attributes I was looking for but perhaps did not quite know it at the beginning as evidenced by the BBF vs BBC vs SBC discussions and the related HP considerations.
So that said, I am in touch with Don on a build project and I am now sorting out what it is that I want in my build. We'll meet up at the LARS show after I have returned to the USA in April and we'll take it from there. Certainly the LARS event will enlighten me some more and who knows perhaps there will be one there with my name on it, don't know, I'll certainly keep an open disposition but dang that car of Don's keeps burning a hole in my mind. I think its got something to do with how Don presented his offerings, Dave W's awesome “Valencia Orange" '31 Model A DeLuxe Roadster plus the recommendations everyone gave Dons workmanship.
Its very hard to beat word of mouth advertising.
Don, yer got some real fine supporters on this forum and that's mighty fine by me.
So there you have it ....... to be continued.
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
