South Florida rodder checking in...

[zzford]

Hi fellow gearheads, My name is Fred Baum and I am from Loxahatchee, Florida, just outside of West Palm Beach. I am 61 years old and have been a gearhead as long as I can remember. I turn wrenches for a living and my main hobbies are woodworking and of course, rodding. My car of interest is a 33 Ford three window, built in the highboy style. It is powered by a ZZ4 Chevy, followed by a built 700r4. The rear is a limited slip 9" with 3:50 gears. With the exception of the interior and the trans, I built it myself. This is the 8th year on the road with it. I have lurked here for a while before deceiding to join. I belong to some other boards, too, but, some of them seem to have lost the concept of what rodding is all about. Too many rules about what is proper and what is not. I am a rodder, not a restorer. Anyway, it's good to be here. Here's a couple of photos of my car, hope they help define who I am.
