    Just doin my intro after 10 months of good reading.
    I've been away from Hot Rodding for quite a while now, but working on getting my 1931 Ford P/U back in action. My car has been out of site out of mind for like 42 years. I bought car in its original 4 cyl. full fendered running condition around 1961 ( I was 15 ) in Omaha for $50.00 from a friend and neighbor, at that time that price was not that unusual. Had it on the road around 1964, then followed parents to Florida in 1965, got married in 1966, guess what, car parked since 1967. I am now restoring it to its 1967 look. It should be road worthy in a couple of months. Look out Lake Worth.
