New Kid on the Block
Hello guys, I jumped the gun a little and didn't take the time to sign in as a new member so i'm taking care of that now.. Working now on what has been my dream car for almost well over 30 years now... A '33 Ford Hi Boy. I started a '33 Roadster back in '85 after selling my '28 Model A that me and my dad towed home from N.C. to Calif. in 1970. Wanted to build the Hi Boy then but a friend gave my wife a ride in his roadster and she said that i should build one of those... well i did starting in early '86 and got it on the road in mid '93.. as things went i can count on one hand the times the wife road it with me... Sold the Roadster in '02 and really have hated it almost everyday since.. It was a very nice driving car.. About 4 years ago came across some write ups in a car Mag. called Street Rod Builder of this company in AR called N&N Fiberglass and bought a rolling kit from them, but due to all the work i had going on with other peoples cars it as taken me until about 10 months to really get going on it... I will start a new thread in the build site for anyone who would like to see how i've come ago... long winded but now you know where i'm coming from.. thanks.. wayne

Welcome to CHR Wayne, good having you "officially" join us! Know what you mean about too much time on other people projects, I've got a few projects of my own suffering from the same affliction! Looking forward to your build thread, N&N puts out a very nice product!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Yep, welcome, and looking forward to perusing your build thread, and even more to your input to the "stuff" that causes people concerns with their vehicles.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
