Hello all! I’ve been visiting this board for some time now, mostly reading the Journal articles and related threads. I really enjoy this place and it’s become a regular stop for me. Thanks Ryan and all the contributors for making this place what it is.

Like most folks here, I’ve been a gear head and car nut all of my life… worked on a lot of cars, restored a few and built a couple but until recently have only dreamed of building a traditional rod. I’m elated to say that I’ve finally come across the project of my dreams. It’s a ’36 Ford 5-Window coupe. A true barn find, stashed away under cover for the last 47 years. I’m so stoked about it I can’t see straight…

Anyway, in all of my excitement I posted up my find without a proper introduction. One post down and I’ve already broken the rules. I must plead temporary insanity, but in my defense here’s the link (http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116026).

So begins the journey. I’m going to have tons of questions so I hope you’ll be patient with me. Looking forward to participating on the board.

Welcome. Wow, nice find too.

Did you find that 36 up in the mountains or down in town?

Thanks, Colo51. I did find it up in the hills. It's going to be a fair amout of work just to extract it, but I'm not complaining!

Welcome to the HAMB, Colorado is a strong area for traditional style so you'll find kindred playmates easily.

A few events to consider this summer to find like minded souls;

1) The Hot Rod Ho-Down August 12th

2) The Gunnison Car show August 25-26

3) Paint & Primer Labor Day weekend

You can find links to all of these at the Lonely Knights website;
