    Old/new/returning member.

     



    Hello all here. I joined some time ago when I was on a mission to help a friend sell off his collection of parts. Now I'm back to join in the fun here and share my own hotrod story. Glad to be here. Thanks.
    My name is Randy, living in paradise out in the country in West central Vermont.
    We have a log cabin and 11 acres, livestock including 2 donkeys, 3 sheep, 2 ducks, 14 chickens, 1 dog & 2 cats. I and my wife are both US Army veterans, I am a combat veteran. She served 5 years and I served 30 years. She was an MP and I was in combat aviation.
    I retired in 2015 with 100% disability.
    My hotrod is a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 project known as " The Yankee Express". I will begin a build thread to share the story.
    Thanks. GHOST.

    Welcome, glad to have you here, and thank you for your career service from another vet far less dedicated. I did my 4 year hitch in the Navy back at the end of Vietnam, stateside working on aircraft radials at a pilot training command. Looking forward to seeing your '67 Coronet!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    I like your car too. Very cool. Each of us who stood up for our country had a part to play. Each part is equally as honorable as the others. Thank YOU for your sacrifice of service to your fellow Americans.

    Welcome back. Sounds like you're living an enjoyable life in a scenic area, enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    Spent a little time workin' for Uncle Sam too. Last Mopar I built was a '65 Coronet sedan with a hemi, quite a few moons ago. Lookin' forward to your project.

    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.

    I forgot to mention that the center cut out in the front bumper, where the license plate hangs, has been widened and enlarged to create an air dam/scoop to keep the big trans cooler cool.
