Hi, I'm Bob from Arkansas.Just joined, although I probably won't post much. I perfer staying in the backgroung and gathering all of the knowledge I can. Apparently there's a wealth of it here. My current project is a '52 Chevy p/u with a 235 inline six. Plans are for a monoleaf suspension, headers and a dual intake, maybe a Wayne or Offenhauser covers. I will bow to modern technology for the tranny, I've got a T-5 that will be going in it. I hope to have a mildly modified custom cruiser that will be dependable enough to be a daily driver and get decent (20+) miles per gallon. I don't have a lot of mechanical experiance, so as stated before, I'll probably keep my mouth shut. However, if I can help anyone, just let me know.
I see that you're in Conway. I'm about 20 miles west of you, in Morrilton. I'm one of "Morrilton's Finest Boys in Blue."- Don't hold it against me.
That would be correct... there are several of us from Conway on here... we meet for breakfast the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Village Inn, just off I40, exit 125 at 8am... come join us sometime....
Thanks for the welcome, guys. I'll try to get to one of the Conway get togethers before long if I can get my old truck reliable enough. I took it off of a farm where it had been used "in the fields" for 20 years about 6 months ago, and everytime I drive it, I find more must fix items. Here's a pic of it, please don't be too harsh, a paint job (and other mods) is still a ways off in the future.
