Another Newbie from California

[Johnboy]

Found this site by accident looking for information on a famous car from the past which is a 25 T-Roadster called "The Black Widow". Was happy to have landed on this site as I've been a car guy since about age 5 (dad and older brother were both car guys). I've had several 32 Ford Roadsters, a 32 Ford Sedan, a 34 Ford 5-Window coupe, a 40 Ford coupe (the 34 and the 40 I had put early Chrysler Hemi motors in), and a 55 Chevy Bel Air 2-door post with a 327 SBC motor, and a 61 Ford Star Liner. Presently have a steel bodied 32 Ford Roadster that I'm doing a build on which I hope to have completed in time for the Fall Colors Show in Bishop, California next October. Looking forward to sharing and learning from the rest of the folks on this site.

That's a beauty! Musta been fate that brought you here. Seems the rule is, if you mention it, you gotta post pics of it!

Several have ask about pictures of some of my old rides so here are a couple.

Here are a couple more pictures of some of my old rides plus my latest work in progress which is the 32 Ford Roadster inside the garage. The motorcycle is a 1950 Triumph 650 Thunderbird which was a real labor of love that took all most 7 years to complete. The Porsche 914 was another long term project that also took nearly 7 years to complete. The Camaro, the 1940 LaSalle, and the 32 Ford Sedan were very easy projects that were nearly done when I purchased them. As you can see, I've been pretty diversified. The 32 Ford Roadster that is a work in progress that was in the last set of pictures is my last project as I'm getting to be to old for this stuff. I just want to drive and enjoy if you know what I mean!!

I see that I forgot to post the picture of my present work in progress which is a steel bodied (Rod Bod) 32 Ford Roadster. As most of you know, these things don't build themselves and it doesn't happen over night. Hopeful of having it completed by October for the Fall Colors Show in Bishop, California. Anyone else plan on attending that show?
