Good evening (yes, it's the evening at the time of posting this introduction)

My Name is Elliot, I'm a new member of the NSRA and I'm new to Hot Rodding. I sadly inherited 2 hot rods from my late father. Both cars were unfinished projects, the first of which I recently had professionally restored to sell on. The second, I will have restored next year for (hopefully) keeping.

My first Hot Rod is a 1935 Morris Eight which was modified for drag racing in the 1970s by a previous owner. The car runs on a 327 small block chevy v8. Unfortunately the vehicle suffered a brief engine fire during my fathers ownership, and he never finished the rebuild. Over the past 5 months, I've had the engine rebuilt and fitted professionally so the car is ready to drive, and to sell on.

the second hot rod is a 1946 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pick up (Known as the art deco truck), which my father shipped over from the USA. the truck was hot rodded by the americans, and fitted with a camero front clip. My dad had a new 5.6L 350 V8 big block fitted, before tearing the truck apart for a paint job that never got finished. My next project is to have this truck painted and fully restored.

I look forward to meeting members of this community at car shows in the future..

Many thanks.

Elliot.

Welcome Elliot, sorry to hear about the circumstances of your entry to hot rodding.

Is (was) the Morris 8 blue and white, and with Mk1 Cortina rear lights fitted? And used to be a regular at Long Marston/Avon Park/Shakespeare County drag strip?

I'm based near Woking. My truck is in suffolk at the moment, until it's been restored.
