Another Old Gray Beard Intro

[snapper]

My name is Howard, but friends just yell out "Hey H". An old gray beard going on 31 yrs. as a line technician. Live in Salem, Oregon where it never snows (ya right). Family of six, two dogs, two boats (for sale), and currently down to seven cars. Past rides include: 52-ply,56-chev,61-comet,64-olds,71-datsun,77-chev,77-olds, & assorted 10 yr. old drivers. Weekends are kept busy working on the ole 40' Ford Deluxe Coupe (pic to come when I can figure out how). Future wish project is a 32' three window earth pounding coupe. I will going by the name, Snapper, after my late little four legged helper of 17 years. I have been looking around for a while and tried to help out when I could. I have gained so much useful knowledge-information from everyone here posting on their projects and tech reports. Thanks to you all, Its great to be here. Howard
