Those are character marks! Shows you actually drive the cars, and don't just trailer them here and there.

Hi Val,

How have you been??

Hey I want to get your opinion on a different hood scoop, you may remember a while back i was thinking about the teardrop style and changed my mind, A neighbor of mine as this Cal custom scoop, take a look at it and let me know how you think it would look on my 56 VIC.

I have no idea how you did that but that would be one of my sons air soft guns ! That's pretty funny though ! Got my doors on a truck from your neck of the woods yesterday $450 to ship ouch !!! But a boat load less metal work can't wait to receive them ! Did you fire the Austin ? Did you do a vid ? Hope all is well
mmhotrod - 03-31-2014 10:21 PM

Sorry I didn't see the comment earlier. thanks so much for the compliment. Yeah my heart went into that pic when I took it. I love the view too. By the way I was looking at the Austin back before the red paint and I kinda fell in love with that black look you had. I picture the MG that color with a white stripe. Who knows what I'll do ..

Basic Information

About 1946Austin

Biography:: Started my car interests in my pre teens. Got my first vehicle, a 1947 International panel when I was 13 , from my uncle. Worked on it for months to get it running, and sold it not long after I turned 16 and could drive. Most of my early cars were '55 or '57 Chevys, and several of them were gassers with straight axles.
Bought a '71 Camaro when I got out of the USAF in 1973, and still own it. Drag raced it for 16 yrs. and recently restored it to street only use.
Just before retiring I got the gasser bug again! Wife approved a retirement car, and I bought my 1946 Austin. Threw it together in 6 months, and then proceeded to make upgrades as I put 3,000 miles on it the first summer it was done.
The Austin will be my retirement project for a long time, as I plan to keep doing upgrades as long as I own it.

Location:: Portland

Interests:: Hotrods, especially gassers!

Occupation:: Retired.
