New guy - 33 Ford builder
I'm very happy with what I see on this site. I tried some other hot rod boards but they seem to have a VERY narrow focus. Glad to be here and I'm having a blast building my car.
My build is probably not traditional enough for many of you but it should be a great start for me and a fun car to drive. I'm the owner of FFR 33 hot rod #37 and I know several other builders are members here too. I hope to finish the car in 2009 but I just took delivery in late Jan.

Welcome Geoffav
This is a great site and even though we rib eachother at times, any form of build is respected and encouraged. We range in amateurs/first timers (myself included) to pro builders, painters, upolterers, etc.. everyone with something to share. Love to see some pics of the 33. Sounds like a fun project!"

Welcome Goeff. You are right, our membership is pretty diverse in the types of cars we like, but we seem to overlook those differences and just enjoy talking with each other.
Give us some pictures when you get a chance.........there is a heavy fine if you don't post pictures.

Welcome
Most everyone is nice, we had a few that would exaggerate. They burst on to this site and say things like "I can build this '23T Roadster for $3,000" then goes on and builds one of the nicest cars on the site, and never asked for forgiveness for misleading us. 
Then he comes back on and is one of the most helpful and nicest guys here. Beware!!

Geoff,
I was waiting for you guys to wander over...Welcome, welcome, welcome. I've been following Mike and Olli's builds, can't wait to see pictures of yours.
Sincerely,
Bill S.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

Welcome, don't let Ken fool you not only does he build some of the most inspiring engineering vehicles. I swear they should be on the stage, but he likes to drive them go figure. The $3000 dollar car is a fantastic build, shame the whole family has talent.
Alot of nice people on this site, they love to help. We love pictures of the build.

I added pics to the gallery too but I ran out of space for the recent stuff. If I ever figure out how to delete a few of the uploaded pics I will post up more small ones.

Welcome to CHR Geoff! You've found a nice place to hang your wrench. There are some traditionalist here, but only a few. Most are well rounded (some even plump ) and diversified and all very helpful.
Don't forget to post pics of your build, we old buggers like pictures more than words.

Could it be a 10114182? If so, it is a Gen V 454, 4 bolt 1991 (or later). Hope that helps..
