Sorry folks, I never introduced myself.

[Goldy]

Ive been on the Hamb/Jalopy Journal for a while now and I don,t remember if I ever introduced myself. So let me do it now, I am Paul Gold. When I was a little kid they called me Goldy, now I am an old kid and they still call me Goldy. I became interested in hot rods when they got my attention, because they were so cool, when I was about eight years old. My father and brother took me to my first drag race at Hatfield, Pa. in 1956. At that time Hot Rods and drag cars were the same society. I have been hooked on both ever since so I am a lifelong Hot rodder and drag racer. I've built many rods and drag cars over the years. I've built and driven front and rear engined top fuel cars as well as many altered hot rods and funnycars. I am still doing it now with a 32 Ford pu, 30 roadster, 1965 Logghe top fuel dragster and a 79 Corvette FC (formerly John Force Wendy's Car) for nostalgia drags. I have 4 children: son Paul builds Lamborghini kit cars, son Rick- 40 ford chopped pu, Christina - 57 Chev Bel Air and Ken - 30 A cp and 32 5 window. Ken is ( Gbones32 coupe) on the Journal too. So there you have it I'm introduced - nice to meet you folks on the journal. Goldy

Hello A32FLATHEAD: I don't have a digital camera to post pics but you can go to www.funnycarreunion.com (http://www.funnycarreunion.com) and cruise thru the site you can see the Force FC, it is now called Good Vibrations and driven by John Rose Jr. I have a dragster license but not for FC. This season I plan to cross over my license for FC. Also my son Ken has pics posted under gbones32coupe on the hamb. He has a fire burnout pic thats cool! Thanks for the interest. Goldy
