    I am in the Army and currently deployed to Afghanistan.
    I currently own a 1954 Ford Mainline Sedan. I have put a 1980 302 with a 1988 Tremec WC T-5. Body mods, 59 Caddy tail lights grafted on the original tail lights, shaved drip rail over the windshield, 1951,52 Buick grills made for the car but not complete, and 1954 Dodge bumpers cut to fit the car.
    Looking to do
    Triangulated 4-link with airbags on all corners
    vintage A/C
    power brakes
    shaved handles
    rounded all corners
    Scoops on the quarter panel with 63 mercury comet speers
    frenched head and tail lights
    Finish the body work and paint it House of Color Gold with a cream roof with cream sea weed flames the full length.

    All of this when I get back to the states and with the Wife support. Hopefully ready for the show in Ashville NC. Shades of the past 2012.
    Thank you for this great group. I will be asking questions from the people of this site and group.

    Hi Kris, welcome to the club. Looks like you have quite a project lined up when you get back. Good luck I hope you get your car finished in time for Asheville.

    Hey, are you outta Bragg? I was just e-mailing back 'n forth with a Chief near Kandahar on some stuff he needs. I'm at TACOM, you can find me on AKO though. Be careful and stay cool over there.
