I'm Bill C from Connecticut a 64 year old hot rodder and grandfather. I've been involved with old cars and hot rods since the mid 1950's. Currently I drive a 48 Chev convertible with a 350/350 combo with a 1963 Chev, full size sub frame (thank you Gerry Burger). I have had the convertible on the road since 1975 and it has been around. I also have a 48 Ford F-1 pickup daily driver which is my only truck and I use it in a carpentry business I started after I retired . It has a 425ci Caddy,. turbo 400 and a fairly rust free body (it was owned for many years by a rural fire department here in Connecticut). I have rebuilt the front end, steering, installed a 3" MOR Drop axle, power steering kit, rewired, installed a vintage air system, and a bunch of other stuff. . My longer-term project, that I’ve wanted since the mid 50’s, is a 1926 Ford lakes style modified roadster I have been picking at it since 1994. I currently have most all the parts so once a couple of delayed large “honey do's” are done to our 1880 house I can get back on the modified roadster. Nuff said about me. Thanks for listening.Bill
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
