[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3887690, member: 45328"] I had many neat hot rods, and muscle cars, in my wasted youth. '63 early Ford 406 w 3 twos, and four speed, '63 Plymouth Fury 383, with 4 speed, a '55 Austin Healey w/ a 327, 4 speed, and others. This was back in the 1960's, and I thought I was quite the Hot Rodder! Now I'm old, and finially have a little exrtra cash, so I got the bright idea I wanted another Hot Rod. I found a neat 1931 ford coupe, hot rod that had been on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine back in the 1980's. We went up to Kansas to look at, and drive, this car, This had been something special in It's day, and was still a nice car, that just needed some up dating, to be a good driver. These things are smaller than I remember. My wife and I drove this hot rod down the road, looking pretty cool, and turned around, and I stopped on the shoulder to look for leaks, after it got warmed up. I had to get in, and out, of this like putting on/off a coat. I must have been standing on the running board while backing out of this thing, and thought I was on the ground, I fell backward flat of my back, right out into the traffic lane!
