Just noticed I never introduced myself after joining H.A.M.B. I live just outside Branson, MO. Started messing with mechanics when I was 12, grew up on a farm here and my uncle gave me a 1960 283 which I took apart just to see what was inside. Married to a wonderful woman for 11 years now, just started dating her because she had a faster computer and her parents were Street Rodders... Her father had alot more old cars setting around than I did!!!lol I don't have any projects going right now just trying to keep my running rigs on the road right now. I would like my next Project to be a 1936 Ford Pickup, just so happens my Mother-in-Law has one, used to be my Father-in-Laws but we lost in last January. It has been sitting for, well I'll just say the last time my wife rode in it she was 9 or 10, now she's in her 40's. Anyway it's a 36 Ford pickup setting on a shortened 1957 Chev car frame with 283 powerpak, powerglide and 1957 Chev power steering. He put all the gl*** in storage along with fenders, trim etc, but it's been outside all this time and weather and time has taken it's toll. I would like to "restore" it to the condition it was in when he used it as his daly transportation. Right now I just do maintenance on my Mother-in-Laws other rigs, 1934 ford pu, 283 w/350T, 1961 Bel Air 2 door sedan, 283, 3 on the tree, and her 1965 1/2 ton Chevy original 4X4 4sp except 350 is in place of the 283. She also has a 33 ford 4 door sedan that my Father-in-Law didn't finish still in the garage, but she says she's happy just the way it is. My rigs, 1980 Silverado K10 (Wife's) 1987 RS Camaro which she calls the B**** which by the way she drives most the time and 1990 4Runner that I drive to work. I still have the first vehicle I bought when I was 14 1941 Chev 1/2 ton PU, and 80 Silverado K10 short bed only vehicle I ever purchased new, both rusting away... Thanks for having me! Greg
