I've looked thru the keyhole long enough,,

I have been looking over this site for a few days and like what I have seen,,,,

So registering and posting a intro is the way to get off on the right foot.

I have been hooked on cars and trucks since I was a kid,,,I have owned a lot of different rides over the years,,,

I have a couple of hot rods that are on the road,,,and a couple of projects(who don't) that are gathering dust.

My current project is a 54 Ford Ranch Wagon,,and has been for 4 years now,,,to say it was rough would be a understatement,,,but I'm getting there!

I hope to be able to contribute as well as reap information from Club HOT ROD,,,,HRP

Welcome to the forum. Glad you liked what you saw and signed on. We must have been on our good behavior that day.:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

When you get a chance, post some pix of the cars. We especially like the undone ones.

I lived in Winston-Salem for a year, loved it, and was in heaven with all the relatively rust free old cars. Not sure it it is the same now.

Thanks Pat,,,,the wagon has been a long hard project,,,,The car was purchased when new by my wifes grandmother to deliver flowers for her shop,,

My wife learned how to drive in that car,,,and it had sat in my barn for years and after I started sandblasting I was ready to haul it to the dump,,,

As it stands at this point in time we have installed 103 patch panels and I have used 33/100lb. bags of sand,,,,,

It has been moved to my pal Marshalls for paint and body,,,,,this is giong to be my wifes daily driver when it is finished,,,

The front suspension has been rebuilt,,,at has fat man lower spindles and disc brakes,,,,,a 1984/302 and a 5-speed tranny,,,,mustang rear with 11 rear drum brakes,,,

I am trying to have the car finished by my wifes birthday in Oct.,,,,next year,,:rolleyes: HRP

Here it is ... on the way to Marshalls ... one Thursday afternoon ...

Thanks guys,,,,, click on the blue fotki byline at the bottom of this thread and it will take you to the site I have ALL the photos posted of the build to date. HRP
