Please bear with me, as I am new to this whole forum thing! I suppose introductions and history are first on my list...so...here goes.

I'm completely new the the older street rods and hope to get all the information I can hear as well as provide for others any knowledge I have.
I spent most of my youth, as have many of you, pouring through Streetrodder, Hotrod, and other magazines and finding myself inflicted with a sort of disease that drives me toward my dreams of one day completing a street rod of my own. Most of my past has evolved around muscle cars (71 Z28, 71 Chevelle SS, 87 Buick Gran National) but I've always loved the pre-40's cars and trucks. Now its finally my turn.

While I am new to using forums, I'm not new to computers. I work as a network tech (transport and special circuits) for Windstream Communications in Harrison Arkansas. And yes.....I love my job. I'm 39 years old, have two sons ages 13 and 15, divorced after 18 years of putting my family first and my dreams (hot rods) last. My ex's famous last quote "You've been a good provider, but, .......". I'll spare you the rest. Many of you already know. I re-married (a wonderful, encouraging woman), my oldest son lives with us, as he too has 'the disease' (another of my ex's quotes), he also loves old cars. We live in the Ozarks and while I wouldn't concider myself a hillbilly, I am proud of the hillbilly heritage that surrounds me.

I would like to say that I'm really not partial to any make or model (Fords, Chevy's, Pontiac, etc. etc.), it seems that I love them all with little or no favoritism. So, with that said, I'm open to everyone.

I'm just getting started building a 1936 Chevrolet Low Cab truck, and believe me folks.....I have a lot of questions. So far, the hardest time I've had is sorting through the threads for what I need info on. I'm trying to get all the info I can first, without starting new threads and getting 'burned' for creating redundant threads. I wish Club Hotrod would add some new sub catagories.....like "Tires and Wheels", "Exhaust", etc, as I am having trouble searching under just "Tire Fitment" . But I'll keep searching.

Its great to be a member and I'll do my best to offer concrete suggestions and help to anyone that nees it.
