Hello from southern Illinois:

[halrod]

Nearing my 59th birthday, I've decided that I'd better get started if I'm going to build that hot rod I've always wanted. I want to build a '23 T roadster, hopefully with a real body. I already have a decent flathead for it, but only a '39 Ford front axle besides that. I grew up in a family-owned filling station/garage, but my career hasn't been in the automotive field. I'll have a lot of questions. Thanks for letting me in.

Welcome Halrod! You've come the right place. Flathead Ford (and many other marques) is spoken fluently here. I've a soft spot for 23 T roadsters myself.

Where in So Ill are you? I've spent may a weekend just driving around the southern part of the state, tin hunting and enjoying the scenery.

Hello Oldcarmike. I live in the town of Bridgeport. We're just off of US 50, about 13 miles west of the Indiana border. Thanks for the welcome.

Halrod, welcome to the HAMB. I think you find a lot of people here who have a lot in common with what you plan on doing. Pretty much a great group of people here with many years of experience (good and bad).:eek:

Halrod, welcome aboard. I'm originally from Cumberland Co., been in Arkansas 21 years, might stay here.
The old tin I remember around the home place rotted to the ground from the snowdrifts. Brrrrrr. Just got cold again!
