Hey everyone, glad to be here, and hope you don't mind me being here. I am fixing to turn 49, and live in Ovilla, Texas (about 25 miles south of Dallas), married, and 2 sons 21 & 17. I'm one of the guys who dreams about the things all you guys already have, and do. I'm one that has a disease called chickenshititus, which means I want to do all types of things old car wise, but am a chicken shit to try because I am afraid I will get in over my head and not be able to finish, or the funds might run out causing me to have to quit. Nothing I hate more than starting something and not being able to finish it. No matter what I try to plan, it seems something always comes up that takes any funds I have been able to scrounge up (Damn economy or wife), and I don't see it getting any better anytime soon, cause the youngest son is going to start college up in Arkansas in the fall, so Daddy's got to try to cover that for the next few years. But if he wants to go, I'll do what ever it takes to get him there so maybe he has a better life than what I've had for myself. As much as I love cars, I love my family more. My first car was a dark Green '69 Chevelle SS 396, white interior, 3 speed, no power steering, no air conditioning, just a hauling ass car, and had the white SS stripes on the trunk & hood, and original rally wheels. But being a young kid, and realizing the were girls on the planet, the car had to go to buy something more "comfortable".....damn I wish I still had that car, and never found out about the girls. I'd probably have more money than Donald Trump then.........well maybe not that much but you understand. Well, thanks for letting me intrude on you guys, and I'll be watching & dreaming on every project you guys encounter.
