You got it Jon, I’ve always felt like there are two different philosophies when it comes to these, the purest, who strides to maintain absolute factory original and then there is the hot rodder who just wants to personalize his ride. I kind of swing toward the first ideal. I think if you want a street rod there are enough repro parts out there that you could make one and not have to destroy the original examples. I’ll bet there are a lot of guys that insisted on STEEL bodys for there 32-34 Ford street rods that wish they had kept the frames and rolling stock. They would sure be worth more as a cherry vintage car than on the auction block as a street rod.
I'm not planning on entering it in any VCCA events right now, but you never know. So I'm going to try to keep it as original as possible, right down to the screws. A lot depends on how the body turns out next year, after her trip to the make-up artist. I have a very solid one, so my hopes are high.
Sorry Paul, I’ve been posting to so many different messages that I get to thinking this is like down at work where everybody kind of knows what you drive. Its an all stock 1950, Chevy 3604.
