Howdy from Texas

This weekend I'm driving to Dallas from Houston to pick up my new project, a '53 F100. It ain't too pretty, but i couldn't afford it if it was. I'll make it look nice in a couple of years. First I've got to get the '70 Torino out of the garage.

I look forward to surfing this sight for knowledge and support.

Thanks
Tod

Welcome to the forum from a fellow newbie ! Good luck with the build.



PS: Go through the old posts: I'm about 1/2 done with 4 years of post and have a ton of "bookmarks" and saved data ! Lots of experience here.

Thanks for the warm reception. I can't wait to get started on this thing. I have a 70 Torino vert under construction and a 71 Mustang vert project out in the barn (which just got pushed to the back of the pack). My wife was getting excited about the Torino since it's starting to make progress. Then she said she wanted an old truck so she could use it to put teens in front of for her photography business. I showed her a pic of a black '55 that was slammed and she said "that's what I want". I love it.
