1929 Ford Coupe Hot Rod

that looks totally sweet, if you dont mind me asking what was an estimate on cost to build something similar to what you did?


Great build cant wait to see more pics"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"
 
Jesus that looks good Nate! You gonna drive out and pick it up in Co? If so you might as well just keep headed west to come say hello to yer buddies out here in Cali. :)

It's about $9,000 in parts and $6,000 in labor and delivery. That would be double from most hot rod builders. I should know, I was quoted $30,000+ for a couple years before finally finding James. I had been hunting down cars all over the internet and ebay for a long long time and I'm so picky I finally decided I had to build it to get what I really wanted.

It's not a boat Mike..... With all that rain you've been getting I'll need a propeller. It's however being delivered to my place here. I have every intention of driving it xcountry though as soon as I know it's ready for the trip.
 
Be sure to get a video of this thing running. I love the sound of a flatty "thumbsup"

There will be lots of video of this thing.

Car is sitting on it's own feet now! Just need a starter and seats finished and she'll be all set.

That thing is sexy! Bring it to Colorado and I'll take you for a ride in the rally car.:)
 
Fantastic! Turns out I've been a vintage hot rod fan since before there was a niche for it. I've loved this style since I was a kid. I didn't find out about the vintage *cough*ratrod*cough* scene 'til '01 or so. For the last several years I've been planning a build and it will not look very dissimilar to yours. Great job on it. I like your eye for hot rods.

Are you using a quick release for the wheel? Looks like a tight squeeze otherwise.

I'm hoping satin black goes out of style soon. Then mine will be unique, too. I love satin black and I don't care how popular it is. "thumbsup"
 
Man I could see that decked out in early sixties style show car paint.. running a set of big an little astros, or Radirs... very cool ride.. mine is going under the knife soon... cant wait!"thumbsup"

Too late, there's a '99 Impreza parked in front of my house now.....and it's all your fault with your dumb rally car thread. I'd put it all in the back of my mind. (So really what I'm trying to say is thanks haha)

That has some serious attitude man but I still can't see you driving it through a Illinois winter. 8)

Keep an eye out on my youtube channel, you'll see it until you're sick of it. There's frostbite cures in pill form now right?
