    New to board

     



    Wanted to say HI since I just registered to the Board.

    My name is Fred and I live in Wisconsin. I'm building a 1939 Chrysler Royal Coupe street rod. I've added a MII front end, Posies springs and am about to drop a CSB 350/400turbo combination onto the frame. I've blasted the body to bare metal but haven't started any other body work yet.

    I wanted to build a rod all my life and finally I'm doing it. Lot's to learn so I'm sure I'll have questions.

    The photo shows the car just after I got it...before I started doing any work. As soon as I figure out how to post more pics, I'll show you how far I am.

    Welcome aboard.

    When you want to load more pics, build a gallery. If you look toward the upper left of the page there's a link to the gallery section (orange '32 roadster, Hot Rod Gallery). You'll see another link "upload photos", then upload away.

    bigbird,
    Love the car, and the body really looks good in bare metal. Now...............what would it take to talk you into dropping a 354 Hemi in that baby? They even make adapters to put the TH400 behind it!
