Hi,guys and gals.I'm a 56 year old male and retired telephone cable splicer.My current project is a 60's style 34 Ford 5w coupe with a 283,39 Ford trans and banjo rear. I would post a picture but I have not figured out how to do that yet. I have been lurking on this site for about a year. Great site with a wealth of info,I have learned a lot from you guys and gals.

Thanks guys for the kind welcome.
JohnnyFast, sprint cars on dirt is my favorite sport to watch, at Jackson Speedway in MN and Husets in SD.
FiddyFour, the wife is going to try and post some pictures for me. If it doesn't work I will forward them to you.
I bought the quarter midget body on egay and made the rest from riding lawn mower parts and scrap. I fired the 34 up last year for the first time after a year and a half of building it. The first test drive is priceless, what a rush. Now I am working on getting the bugs out and glass, insulation and etc.

Curt....bitchin' coupe ! :)
I picked up this quarter midget body on eBay too. I may split it down the center and make two 3D wall hangers. I have plenty of correct wheels, tires, tubing etc. to make them look like real cars.
