Another new guy from Rhode Island

[mgcbus65]

Hi Everyone, I'm George DeSomma Jr. from R.I.. I found this site while googling my name and it turns out someone was refering to my Fathers 53 Ford radical custom. I decided to join to let people know it is still around. My father still has it tucked away in his garage. It is a little dusty but in great shape. Heres a little peak from today
569251
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I was a founding member of the R.I. Sinners car club back in the 80's and went to alot of places in my fathers Ford with him. Thanks, George

Jr, Hi & Welcome to the HAMB from South Texas. Drag the 53 out of hiding & get it back on the street.

Hi Guys, My dad was talking about getting it out this summer. I go to the Oakland Beach cruise almost every week. I live 1/2 mile from there. What do you drive ckemp03. I'm sure I've seen it. Regards, George

[ckemp03]

got a five O ford, recent purchase, only made it once last year. look for the primer red shoebox. I live only a mile and a half. Its a small world, in an even smaller state!

It's cool to see a few other guys here from R.I. I live in Warwick as well... I have been to the shows at the beach. I don't have a car to "show", but, I'm working on 2 VW's... Hope to meet you guys there this Summer!

I worked on vw's alot in my early car days, had a 66 Type 3 and 65 Type 1 barn door, hope to see yours around Warwick soon, still love the old air cooled vdubs, dont happen to have a type 3 fast back for sale do ya?

[mgcbus65]

Ckemp03, is that the ford outside prov. st. garage?
66 shorty, Vws are cool, There used to be a vw wagon(not a bug style) in Warwick that had an olds bigblock mid mounted. I remember it being built in the 70's.
Jrs, you gotta have the doughboys too!

Sorry I haven't gotten back on this thread guys... Been buzy in the garage lately. :D Feels good to have a garage & be able to work in it! I don't have enough power though. I need to get 220v out there to use my big compressor & add a few outlets. (I only have one circuit out there & I trip it all the time trying to weld & grind... :mad:)

I don't have a type 3 for sale... there was one I almost bought last year for like $600.00 bucks, it was in pretty good shape for the age. The guy never got back to me, I had cash in hand, & ended up buying a '74 Bug. I just pulled the body off & removed the pass. floor pan. I've gotta get the body up on saw horses tonight to start fixing the rot in the lower body.

Do any of you local guys have a 1 x 1 square tube bender? I'm going to need some tube bent & I can't afford a bender right now.:confused:

You won't see the bus rollin through Warwick this year, I don't think. Not unless I can get a couple of guys in the area that have some good Fab skillz... (**Hint Hint**)

PM me if anyone has some extra time & can lend a hand on a weekend or a Tuesday/Wednesday... LOL! :rolleyes:
