Hello to all,

I grew up in Southern California during the 60s which makes me naturally anti-billet. I had a couple of '40 Ford coupes one with a flathead and the other with a Pontiac in the day of 25 cent a gallon gas. I learned a lot about fixing '39 trannys and banjo rear axles as we "occasionally" engaged in a little street racing.

I now have the same '48 Chevy 2 door sedan which was our family car when I was young. My Dad bought it in 1950 as an OK used car then Brother had the car in high school and I got it from him in the mid 70s. I moderized it with Mustang front suspension a 350 Chevy with new paint and leather upholstery. I also have a '34 Ford five window with a 59A flathead. It is the car I have always wanted since high school. It is an old 70s restored car that has been well cared for and I am changing a few things like big & little tires, dropped axle and a few additions the the flatty.

Thanks for allowing me to join.

Welcome wjm. Cut my teeth back in the 70s on a 40 Ford coupe with a 324 Olds. Good friend of mine moved to Mt Shasta back in the 90s. Says its beautiful and the people are all friendly. Never been but maybe someday. Good luck with the 34.
