    My name is Wes, and Im from Arlington,TX. Right now I am working at Synthetic Designs, in Arlington and going to the Dallas Art Ins***ute for graphic design. I have always had a p***ion for anything car related. I have owned a mix of diff. cars, 70 Chevelle SS, 96 Impala SS, laid out 01'Silverado, 01 Audi S4, and now I drive a 03 VW GTI. I just picked up a 49 ford tudor sedan. It is overall in great condition. Right now Im just preping it for the major mods that I have planned for it. Im sure it will take the better part of a few years, but when its all said and done it should be a damn fine sled.
     
  2. Hi wes...

    Welcome to the Hamb, I'm pretty new myself. Just a side note, the board seems slow right now so don't feel bad if not many people say hi.

    What do you design?

    later

    Welcome to the HAMB from a fellow Shoeboxer. It looks like you've got a great start. If you run into parts questions, keep the Shoeboxford site in mind -- there's a lot of 1949-1951 owners over there with spare parts and answers.
