Another new (old) guy 1929 Roadster PU

[Ted Duke]

Hi,

I'm new here. I'm finally making progress on my 1929 Roadster Pickup that I bought on Labor Day 1971. My very young sons and I dismantled it and we worked on it off and on for 7 years (in between USN deployments) and then it went in our barn. I retired from the USN in 1980, but stagflation, under-employment, building a house and helping 4 kids through college delayed returning to the project. IO finally told me wife I was going to sell it (or rather the pieces). She said "NO you aren't." I said I have no shop to work in and I'm to old to work under a tree. "BUILD ONE!"

I did, 30 x 40 metal insulated. I have the frame and running gear finished and body in progress (second time for some of it) and the engine under rebuild. A long way to go, but I will only b 76 Tuesday and still have time to finish it and drive it a few years.
