    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.

    Welcome to CHR Bill. Great looking 48 there. Like the color you painted it.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
