    Newbie from Kentucky.

     



    Just found this forum and I'm looking forward to learning and sharing my favorite hobby.

    It's a shame we have to get old (58) before we can afford the things we always wanted as youngsters, but thats the way it is when your not born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

    I'm a Do IT Yourself rodder, I like doing all the work myself. Makes the end result more satisfying.

    My latest project is a 1940 Olds Coupe. I found her behind an old shed with a sassafras tree growing through the engine compartment in '93,

    I still need to finish the interior but I can drive her. She's powered by a BB Chevy Turbo 400 tranny coupled to a 9 inch ford.

    I'm repairing the frontend sheet metal again because a deer decided to jump in front of me one night.

    Didn't mean to be so windy, glad to be here.

    Good luck everyone.

    Welcome to CHR DYIRodder. Nice looking 40 olds and the blue paint really sets it off, or is it black? Kinda hard to tell..
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

    Welcome to CHR, great looking Olds coupe!!! Oh, by the way. 58 isn't old---just a bit higher mileage than some around here.

    Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
