    Hey all. Just gettin' into the hobby--got a few gearhead friends that'll help break me in. Don't have my first rod yet, but I'm looking frantically right now. What I really want is a '50 ford (2dor would b nice but if it's the right car, I'll be cool with a Fordor). It was my Dad's 1st car when he was a greaser teen around 16. He passed away about a year and a half ago, but we got a chance to talk long and hard about me gettin' one, and what he would do if he got one again. I'm kind of making it a sort of tribute to my Pa. $5k is my ceiling--I'll work on it as I go, but being a rookie, I want it in pretty good shape.

    If you have a line on one in the midwest that you think I might be interested in, send a message. THX
     
  2. Welcome to the H.A.M.B. Spend some time on the website, shoeboxford.com. Most of the cars for sale there are probably gonna be over $5K but it might be a good place to start inter-acting with some folks who can direct you to something more in your price range. Good luck. I love them shoebox Fords. Keep us posted on your search. You might also want to post a wanted ad on here.,.....Don.
