this reminds me so much of the stories, worldview, and perspectives of my family members life style in rural west virginia...

Blue Print of 1929 Roadster





in the beginning...


This car was originally purchased with my father...the car was sitting out in a field, someone had removed the original 4 cyl. engine and replaced it with a flathead ford V-8 and 3 speed on the floor transmission...on the rear wheel wells you can see i have a coat of body filler applied which is covering the warping from 1/4" steel homemade fenders that had been attempted...the car was found in mt. airy, md by my father and sat in several garages over the years...when my own son was born i began thinking about bringing the car to my own garage and "doing it right"...this is a picture of a picture of my son standing inside of the car...nearly all of the work on this car was performed in that exact spot...
