What Happen to the Average Rodder?

Good point, Mike.  Suscriber for over 20 years here.  
Take my advice... don't take my advice.

Hi i am new here and just reading over the forums to see what you all were talking about, I have been working on cars for at least fifty years and dabbled in all ares at one time or another but it help to have some one elses opinion some time.  

Well Ivan every blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I'm a retired Big Block dirt modified circle track driver that got married bought a house and had a bueatiful little girl. Racing was out of my reach now my car was soon to be out dated I had no sponsors and an offer came along to sell all that I had so the time to quit was here. I love to spend time on the internet looking at cars and ect... One day I stumble across this picture of a 1933 ford coupe that looks much diffrent from those that I have seen at car shows in the Pittsburgh area where I live. It was a 1933 Ford Speedstar Coupe designed by Bobby Alloway. Who is Bobby Alloway? I never heard of the guy I race dirt track ya know. So I do some home work look on line for the car and find out tons of info. My racecar sold and I saved enough money to start this huge project. I ordered a Rats glass body Alloway frame and a front IRS suspention from heidts suspention products. All of this was new to me I had no idea what I was in for! This was 2 1/2 years ago. Well I was just in the garage today and I need to order a drive shaft and run my wiring to pull it out of my garage. Im a Diesel mechanic that has little money to spend but piece by piece I slowly get closer to making my dream a reality. I cut no corners thougt this car is built for show fully polished front and rear and I hope 2 years from now to put it in paint and have the interior done. So far I have done all of the fabrication work myself with little help I look at internet photos of other cars to understand how some parts of the car go together. I want to pay for a pro to do the interior cause I worked to hard for this to make the inside look sloppy. I have pictures on My Space of the car and the sight is public. My name is Tommy Marshall III You can find the pictures with my e-mail address testpilot18@hotmail.com on a myspace search. I hope I can be on street rodder magazine some day and bring a little of the the blue collar rodding world back. Dreams do come true it just takes time. Send me an E-mail if you like. Tommy
