Hi Guys - I'm glade that grill worked out for you. I think it looks great. I hope you got your trans shiffting problems resolved. Whats your next project? Bring your car by sometime. I'd love to take a ride in it. Jim

Welcome to RRR Hello from a fellow Missouri rust collector. I live in Lebanon Mo and, like you, have a project underway. Compared to alot of other places in the country, we still have alot of old cars to choose from here in Missouri. The Falcon was a great little car, use to own one, and has...

Welcome Great place that Nova Scotia - We toured there in 2006 and had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We were on a motorcycle and spent two weeks. Don't remember much about seeing too many hot rods but the people were sure nice. Jim [cl

I aced it. The hood orniments almost tripped me up. When I was a kid I could identify every new car every year. My dad would take us boys to the St. Louis Auto Show every year (it was a big deal). I'd pickup all the lititure from every manufacture and study it for months afterwords. Wish...

Welcome from another Missouri RRR member. Good luck with your new project. Keep us posted on your progress. BTW - that tempest.com site makes the CL and eBay list search so much faster. Thanks for the tip. Jim

Welcome to RRR from Missouri and former Walled Lake Mich. resident. While we lived in Michigan I was into early Mustangs. Loved it up there except the summers were way to short and winters were way to long. Jim

Welcome to RRR from Missouri. Was in Alaska for a couple weeks in 2008 and had a great time. If I lived there I would have to adjust my junk collecting ways as I didn't see much loose stuff laying around. Like your rod and hope you can find the parts you need. Jim

What a ride ! Thanks Earthman for the video - Some great driving and a very capable car. What a thirll the guy driving must have had overtaking all those slower cars.

Welcome to RRR from the hills of south-central Missouri in the Ozarks.

Ha Mark - glad you found the site. I knew that you would like it - lots of good people here and always willing to offer a helping hand. Got the flathead home ok but still haven't got it freed up yet. I think it will make a runner although I hanen't pulled the pan yet. Jim

Welcome to RRR from Lebanon Missouri.

Welcome to RRR from Missouri. The build looks great. I'm working on one and it is about at the same stag as yours. It take a lot more time then one figures in the planning stag. Hope you find some good stuff at the swap and thanks for the pictures.
