Been lurking in the shadows for a while; thought I better do an intro. I'm an old fart (near 60) that spent 25 years wrenching dirt cars in the midwest. Built flatheads in the 60's when they were looked upon as "dead" . I remember the 50's and 60's as hardtimes, busted knuckles and broken parts. Seems like everything I ever built was long on motor and short on looks and reliability. Wouldn't change a thing if I could.
Welcome from another old fart. And you are right about the 50's and 60's I would not trade those days for anything either.
