...... another "newbie" .........

........ yep, another newbie. I bring you greetings from "the land of possum & dumplings" .......... otherwise known as North Carolina

My name is John, and I go by the handle of Old Coyote ......... I own a '48 English Ford Thames 1/4 ct. panel van ...... powered by a 327 Chevy with a TurboHydro 350 running back to a 10" Olds rear end with 3.42 gears

It is still very much under construction ........... hope to finish it one of these years

S375-60x15 Pro Tracs ........... and no, this old beast's drag racing days are over ........... it's going to be low & slow from now on ............. used to be an A/GS car from Indiana, mama and I are converting it into a street rod ........... but we're trying to keep it looking as much like an old '60's gasser as we can ;) ;)

High Point is in the Piedmont Triad ........... southwest of Greensboro and southeast of Winston Salem ........... it's the "Furniture Capital of the World" .............. that knowledge and $1.15 will buy you a cup of coffee :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE:

Possum & Dumplings? No thanks... :whacked:

No interior in it as of now ......... a couple of Nissan seats, and a temporary dash full of digital gauges ........... Mama wants rolled & pleated naugahyde everywhere ............ I kinda want aluminum ............. to replicate its drag heritage ............. either way, it'll get a pair of Recaro seats with four point harnesses ;) ;)

I'll see if I can get some pics of the unfinished "innards" :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE:

as I said ........... we've got a long way to go ............. been working on the mechanicals, not the cosmetics :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The lever to the left of the steering wheel controls the "tilt" feature ........... it tilts to the right so I can get my "overly-svelte" frame into the little bugger
