before & after pic
How about posting a before & after picture of the favorite rod that you built.
Mine was a 34 tudor, that I often think about. I have no digital pics. of it.

Good idea Don!
Lots of choices but I'll start with a twofer.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Here's a few from my son's 69 Chevy we did two years ago. We put a TBI 350 and 700r4 from a 92 Caprice police car in it. Not a single problem with it for almost a year until the trans gave it up last week. I wonder if that one bald tire on the back was any indication of why it died? HMMM.........

Well, mine aren't as cool as the rest, where you guys resurrected an old car and turned it into a nice rod, but here is my before and after:
That red oxide frame became the base for our sheet metal brake........it was pure junk.

Unfortunatly my favorite is always the one I'm currently building (and it's no where near picture ready).
Here the 58 Chevy Biscayne mild custom I bought for a couple hundred bucks. No motor or trans and needed floors.
Ended up nosed and decked, custom side trim and 383 Tri-power stroker and TH350. Drove it for 13 years before I sold it.
Ok who thought I'd throw up pictures of the 57 Plymouth (AGAIN)I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
