    New to computers and new to the H.A.M.B. My brother turned me onto it. I am an old hot rodder from way back. I had my own custom shop in Florida. My good friend John McNally showed up at my shop one day with the Matador and let me take it for a drive all over town. He was a great guy and I have lots of pics of cars he has worked on that I hope to share soon. I will be back on soon after I help my sweetie make the bed lol! Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the patience!

    Mark,

    First off my daughter is doing my typing because I'm a hunt and pecker lol! I like the '52 Chevy - looks like pearl flames. Is it yours? I have a '40 Ford pickup sbc, auto, craigers, and flames that me and my son put on it. I will be trying to get my pictures up this weekend when my son comes over to help me put them on. By the way I'm an old fart of 65 years and I sure appreciate your input. I hope to talk again soon.

    P.J.

    hello from another 'new' FL guy.

    When you say John Mcnally, you're not talking about the sailmaker/sailboat/yacht guy are you?
    if so, Johns a great guy, he made the stanchion lines for my dad's boat, and gave me some tips to mount the stanchion bases securely.
    Just wondering if it's the same guy.

    From one old fart to an older fart, welcome. You'll like it here. You sound like the kind of people this place needs. Just kidding about you being an old fart. You're only old as you feel. Maybe I'll just call you fart instead. LOL
