Greeting from Camano Island, Wa.
Just signed on and thought I would share a little about my background. I am a semi retired telcom exec now living the dream of building hot rods out of my shop on Camano Island. I built my first hot rod (a 40 Ford Coupe Delux) in the mid sixties. I was out of hot rodding (owned a few Corvettes and other muscle cars) while building a career and raising a family. I got back into street rodding in the mid 90's when I purchased and built a Total Perfomance T-Bucket. My next project was a Rat's Glass 3 window coupe on a TCI chassis with a SBC stroker motor and a 700R4 trans on polished AMR TT II's. I am currently building a very unique all steel 27 Lakes modified roadster with a 36" pickup bed, 32 Ford grill with a louvered hood. As this will be a driver, I installed a 350/350 combo with 9" rear-end. I just finished the paint (Dove gray) and I'm in the final assembly process. I spent the last two days making the SS brakelines leak proof... a nearly impossible task! I now have brakes!! I look forward to taking an active role in the numerous forums.Last edited by dwfunk32; 03-11-2011 at 07:44 PM. Reason: re-size attached photos

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Doug, you can go into edit, remove the large ones and replace with smaller, 800 x 600 aprox works well here.........those with non high speed internet would be more able to enjoy the pics that way.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
