Welcome aboard Amy. We were just saying the other day that there have been several ladies come and go on this forum. The only one to stick is Barb (junkyardgirl). If you have specific questions, ask them and we'll do our best for you.
Or if you just want to keep us informed of your progress, we welcome that too. Please post pics. We love pics.:3dSMILE:
Amy,
Very cool to have more female persuation in the hotrod arena. You will need to define / visualize what you want your 51 to look like when finished. Are you wanting an old school or classic or hotrod or just fast, well you get the picture. Post some pics.

Welcome to CHR, Amy. The '51 sounds like it will be a cool project.
if i still have it i may have a picture of just what you want to do .. i`ll check when i get home .. home now .. found it ..
or maybe something like this ..
wow love the flat black truck well my truck is whole i just have to save the money to get it back in one piece my plan is for it to go the traditional flat black but with pink pin strips and accents curently im looking at some mustang 2 set ups then ill start fitting the motor n run all the brake lines then work my way up from there it is only a rolling chassy so ive still got alot of work to do lol
i like this one like the hight but i prob wont go that extreme till i hit the jackpot lolQuote:

but since this is my first it wont be supper radical ive done a lot of fabrication so ill prob have a lot of little suttle diffrences body wise but it will be dropped on bags eventually, itll be satin black with pink pin strips and pink accents here and there right now its a barely rolling shell all the body is there and in good condition so that helps rebuilt my first 350 block up and started that last saterday and it acctually ran realy good it shocked me lol. so my next task is ordering this front end getting that on and working my way up just curious if any one knows, if i mount the master brake cylinder in the original spot and drop it will i needa portioning valve or will it sit high enough? tryn to count pennys :)Quote:
