My name is Doug I'am a retired Machinest /welder been building bikes & hot rods 45 yrs, raised 5 kid's along the way. ex wife got everything about 10 yrs ago so... I build on a Tight Budget :( My everyday driver is a 47 ford on a 86 f150 4x4 chassis. with a 351w and 4 speed trans. I pull a 5th wheel trailer I built that has a kitchen,bed TV/vcr just big enough for me and my dog. it's set up so I can pull my Harley inside and travel. Been from B.C. to L.A. on the west coast a few times before the gas prices :mad: grounded me. Iam building a 46 ford Roadster pickup with a removeable hard top. z'ed frame I built, 3' flatbed, suicide front end and a inline 6 Chevy 250 moter, 3 speed trans. it's set up with a recivier so I can tow my Harley. if the gas milage is what I hope it to be. I plan on traveling a cross the country this next year. I hope to finsh it this comming April/ May. I have cruised the hot rod web sites the past few years. I have posted a few times on each site, turned OFF by the bigmouths on each site. I missed donsrod when he left killbillt but found talk about him on HAMB, and was able to find this site.looks like a keeper.:)

Welcome to RRR DougnDog. Don's around here on a regular basis and there isn't any internet tough guy stuff on this forum, just a nice place to kick back and hang out.
 
Welcome to RRR, DougnDog !!! That's one nice rig you have there. You'll like the laid back attitude here. No drama just cars, trucks , bikes, whatever.
 
Welcome

Thanks for the welcome guys!:) I will post info and pictures of my project,as I have taken a lot during the past few mo. but that will have to wait a couple of weeks as I leave for Eureka tomarrow to help a friend install a Cummining Desiel in a 53 Ford 1 1/2 ton truck, should be fun. sorry for the poor spelling :confused:I Have not figured out how to use the spell check yet. Thanks Doug
