    Skullcracker here- Pleased to meet you all. What an awesome community Ryan and you all have developed. This is what all those dotcommers told golddigging venture capitalists they could pull off if only they could get $12 Million. Here it is, the fabric of a devoted community, beholden to none on a shoestring and a prayer.
    Longtime lurker. No grease in my hair, no tattoos, but common interests.
    I'd pay just get Rikster to send me monthly history articles. Damn- what resources.
    I have, in order of near and dear to my heart- the 37 Zephyr that was posted on the LSRU posts but got evaporated, a 55 Chevy, and a 54 chevy, all built by Mercury Charlie, Austin's Numero Uno builder(Hi Reg- you have a day job).
    Check him out at South Austin Speed Shop which will be opening soon- 1416B S. Lamar. www.southaustinspeedshop.com. He has a few surprises in store which will be revealed when them that wants em revealed does so- FL. Sorry for the shameless plug.
    Have at me.
