    I was in the Army light Infantry so I do know what FNG stands for but I'll proudly own it for a while to be part of this cool community. I've been visiting the site for a while and finally decided to pony up the 50 bones and join for real. I'm building my first American car and am doing it in the traditional style. I'm more excited about this project than any other car or motorcycle I've ever had or built. I sit in the garage and stare at my 54 Buick and can't believe I finally have a cool old sled like that. I got it lowered last night and will be ordering some wide whites today!

    Welcome from just a little north. Sitting in the garage staring at old iron is good for your soul.

    Yes Alliance members get a 10% discount, I thought it was funny that you were from Colorado and I also had a 54 Buick speedometer in our shop. Will give you a call next week with a update and a price for repair. That Alliance membership is all ready starting to pay for its self.

    I'm in Colorado Springs now but have been all over the front range. I have a really good friend in Cortez who builds some pretty cool motorcycles for a living. I'm probably headed through there in March on my way to Vegas for the vivalasvegas show.
