The question of the day.....

I have a couple ford trucks that I have yet to finish. A 40 with a SBC and a 39 with a 53 Merc flattie.

I gave my 11 year old grandson the 54 F100 cab and 'Y' block that I picked up a couple years ago. He wants to build a hot rod out of it and I have been teaching him the basics and letting him turn the wrenches on a lot of the easier stuff so he can learn to enjoy the "hobby" the way I do.

I've always been a chevy guy but right now I have 7 Fords and 2 chevies in the family collection. I don't know how that happened. Only one of the Fords is not Ford powered, all though that one might change in the near future if I finish the 302 rebuild.

I am just learning Ford small blocks and I find my self saying why didn't chevy do some things the way Ford did, but then when I'm working on the Ford I say why didn't they do some things the way chevy did.

I'm not one to bash any of the other makes, but I come to this site to find out about Fords and to see what other Ford Guys are doing.

So I say keep it ALL FORD RODS all the way.

well the name of the forum is street rod forum--

i guess that lets my 38 pontiac coupe with a 350 chevy engin - olds rear end - nova front clip- all done by me -- in cludeing channeling the body with a rake -and all new floors

Hmmmm. The flathead owners may disagree but the nailhead certainly is cool, especially with a sixpack log manifold and finned covers and let's not forget the Buick brake drums!

I have many different toys although I keep my topics about my Fabulous Fords on this board.

well its kinda confuseing -- its a ford site but its a -- street rod forum---not a ford street rod forum-- and the pic in the other thread is a hemie -- ????- isthis street rods -- or is this ford street rods --help its makeing my head hurt--

i want my mommy

Would my '54 Ford sedan with a 351W be considered a street rod? It's not a custom nor is it a muscle car

i think Y-block and FE powered rods are the coolest but not taking anything away from the purity of a flattie.

this is my first time ever being on this site but i have a question i bought a car and it has a salvage title and i was wondering i live in ohio and i wanted to know if i could get tags for the car and drive it?

tlpmuscle, u might have better luck in the "garage" forum.
