    Hey guys, new here on this site. Some really cool projects ive read about on here!

    I'm from Henderson, Colorado. Been into old cars for a long time. Have 2 1940 fords, one coupe and a pickup. In the process of rebuilding the coupe, body is blasted down to bare metal and doing body work on it. All steel with solid front axle.

    Add a welcome from SW Nebraska. If you ever get over this way, send a PM and then stop in for milk and cookies (or whatever).

    Chris, blasted the '40 coupe to bare metal. Really rough under, got my work cut out this winter for sure. Didn't figure it had that much bondo, some places were really thick!
