Hello to all. Found this site and have spent many hours just getting the feel of whats going on. I can say that I like the atmosphere of this place.

I live in Pikeville Kentucky and grew up in a enviroment that had my father running a service station and my mother running the adjoing restaurant. We actually lived over the business and after hours my father built drag engines and chassis for many people.

I caught the Rod bug probably before I was out of diapers.

In my aldult life I have gravatated towards AD Chevy Trucks, Panels and 'Burbs, around 12 when counting. I have run the gamit with the group from pain in the butt finished to rats to projects. I also have managed to squeeze in a '67 Chevy shortbed, '64 Rambler Wagon both baged and slamed as well a '57 Chevy/Grunmam short Curbside.

Seems that I can't seem pass up on a AD project and I have three going at the moment. Also I get started on one then find another that sparks my intrest and then dive into it and then another...............Yea you know exactly what I am talking about.

Now Mrs. Trucked Up along with the econmy has just about put a halt on saving any more AD orphans, at least the ones she knows about.

So I will take my coat and hat off for a while if you folks will allow me....:D:
 
Welcome to the site. There are alot of AD trucks here, and some pretty fine ones at that. How 'bout posting up some pictures of your projects?
 
Projects

I'll give it a shot. I'm much more adept at using tools than I am a keyboard.

Luckily I follow another board that is set up just like this one so I may just be able to pull it off.....:D
