Project '33 - Hot Rod Build

Drumroll please….the inaugural post of substance.

For me, this guy is the definition of "old school." He's a hot rodder, which, by definition means that he's a mechanic, a frame man, suspension man, and a body/paint man. His website tracks the build of a 1933 Ford 3-window "high boy" coupe - from the frame rails up. Built mostly in a storage unit, the car took 6 years to complete working weekends, spare time, and late nights. In all, the builder, Scott Nelson, wrote 951 posts/articles over the course of the build. It’s really an incredible project and something worth going through post by post. If you’re working on a hot rod build, there is a ton of reference material, and Scott has worked through literally hundreds of details with all of it documented.

Check it out – it’s very cool. And definitely manly!

All Things Cool and Manly

Welcome to the inaugural post of the Flint McManly Blog. The purpose of this blog is to be a forum for the whole gamut of things that I personally find cool and/or manly. It will run the range from hot rods, to guns, to airbrushing flames, to comedians, to 4x4's and anything else that strikes me as cool. I don't in any way claim to be an expert in any of these areas, so if something is inaccurate, I really don't care too much. Feel free to comment on any post if you have something cool or manly to add. This is a family friendly blog for the most part, since my kids will be reading it and contributing to it.
