    Sorry, about asking a question prior doing an intro! I thought I posted my intro last night but for some reason it didn't go. So here I go. I am really exited to be here! Currently I am working on a 54 Chevy 2 door sedan, also I am trying to scrounge together enough parts to put together a 28 RPU with a Chrysler in it. I have alot of the chasis pieces and all of the motor stuff. Still working on the sheetmetal. Trying to stay mostly Ford orig if possible. My family and myself just moved back to California from Texas and man is it good to be home again near family and playin' with hot rods and custom stuff. Glad to be on the HAMB and look forward to meeting y'all.

    Thanks, TERPU

    Welcome TERPU.

    Funny thing...I have a 54 Chevy 2 dr sedan, a few Chrysler Hemi's and some Model A chassis parts sitting at my house, and the stuff came from Texas too??? [​IMG]

    These guys like pictures. Do you have any pics of the 54 on your computer? or Charley?

    Email them to me if you can't post them and I will post them for you.

    p.s. Your sister says hi. [​IMG]

    We moved from beautiful Brenham, We eat all we can and sell the rest! Just a little Blue Bell humor. I'll have to send the pictures on private e-mail as I haven't figured how to attach them into this forum yet. Thanks for the welcome talk to you soon.

    Much Obliged. If your ever in Brenham look up a guy named Jon Hold @ The Rod Shop, he runs a one man hot rod shop full of cool stuff. Not to mention he's one of the coolest people I was able too share space with. I hope you find some cool stuff @ Conroe

    Thanks, Terpu
     
  9. I certainly will look him up when I'm in Brenham next time. You know I will be digging around at Conroe looking for some kind of treasure. Thank you terpu

    Hey cool, Jon always drives a white mid 70's chevy van with a black stripe all the way around the bottom and rally's on it and he's always at Conroe. Good luck treasure hunting.

    Thanks again

    Yeah this is gonna be really exiting in a model A. What would one of these do in a T or B? Just some scandalous pondering!

    Welcome to the HAMB!! I live in the woods about 50 miles north of Brenham 3 miles down a dirt road off SH 36. Are the cows as contented in Aptos as they were in Brenham?[​IMG]

    Hey man I've passed through Milano on my way through to Temple/Belton a few times. Great place to be. I don't know if the cows are more content but the only ones I've seen here look pretty happy, except living on the hills makes one set of legs shorter than the others. Man it's crazy they all lean to one side when they finally find a flat spot!

    Thanks,
    TERPU
