Thread: Another old phart

Tweet

Saw some familiar names, and thought I would check this forum out.

I don't consider myself a true hotrodder yet, but I am working on it. I do all the work on my car myself, I take all the advice I can get. Nobodys pinchers have been on my car but mine. This is my first complete rebuild. Its a daggone hoot.

I'm not too computer savy, so my wife will have to post the pictures for me

welcome geezer and tj.

Hey Geezer, glad you made it over! You should have a good time here, lots of great folks.

Welcome to the forum. For someone who doesn't consider themselves a hot rodder yet it sure looks like you got through that chop ok. Have the Mrs. put up some pictures, we would love to see them.
