Self-Introduction Too Late?

First of all, I'd lilke to apologize to all the offended members for posting my ad without posting an introduction first. I didn't know about the tradition and I also didn't look around the site to check for that. My name is Greg. I was told about the H.A.M.B. by one of the members that found me on the Ford Barn V8 page, when I was looking for flathead block for my dad's 40 coupe. My thanks to him again, that was a big help. Anyway, I'm 43 and into early Ford hotrods. I have had my 35 three-window I'm ashamed to say for 30 years and never got it running. After getting Dad's 40 going for him two years ago, I am stoked up to get mine going. For the last few years I have also been collecting parts to put together a 27 on 32 rails roadster. I also build and race vintage-style tether cars with some friends locally. Hope I'm worthy to hang out. If not, no big deal, have always been kind of a loner/rebel/asshole anyway. Like I put a chrome straight axle in my 65 GTO in 1983, not cool. Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

296V8

 

I'll be first to Welcome you aboard... so tell us your plans for the '35 and send some pixs.

 

Welcome aboard Greg. Nice intro. Did anyone mention we like photos?? Got any of the 35?

 

what the heck is a 296?

 

Its a flathead ford with 4 1/8" stroke, 3 3/8" bore. That's about as big as they get.

Welcome aboard.

 

Chrome straight axle in a GTO...WAY COOL.., Welcome...OLDBEET

Makes me wonder if it's the same GTO i saw at the CHRR in 98. Injected, ran I think in the 9s and a licence plate that reads "IBURNR"?

 

Slazz why don't ya tell the guy how you really feel?

Welcome aboard dude. Hope it doesn't take another 30 years to get it done! But who am I to talk...I never finish anything!

 

Welcome! Let's see some pics. I feel your pain. My '36 5 window was my Dad's first car and hasn't left the barn under its own power in 35 years. With any luck, that will change NEXT WEEKEND!
