New guy

Hey guys,

Newbie here. Just got onto this site the other day, and signed up. Already read the "newbie" section. Good information in there. I will DEF be putting that blog to use. Little about myself. 26m married with a little girl and one on the way, military guy, living in Lexington, Ma. Have a 1955 F100. This is my first project truck/car.

Don't know if there are many guys from the New England area on here, but if so, look me up. Even if you're not from around there all chatters welcome. Like I said, this is my first project. I have some back round in auto body, and paint, but little in mechanical.

Any questions, or feel like chatting, leave me a line!

Thanks for reading,

Steve

Thanks for the welcome! I told people I'm form the NE area, and asked if anyone else was, but by all means, if you are not from that area, look me up! Didnt mean for it to be region specific!

Welcome to FTE, Steve. Glad to have you. If you look in the right upper corner of each post it shows the join date, location, and number of post. Click on "user CP" at the top of the page and edit your profile to add your location. That way everyone will know where you are located. It helps when you are looking for parts or have some to get rid of. Jump right in and join the fun.

Welcome! Everyone here knows half of what they are saying so you get a good picture after reading through 10 pages or so!

Wait! hmmm Maybe I'm just the one that only knows half of what I think I do?

Welcome..!! lots of knowledge here (and matching, lots of B/S too!, telling which is which gets to be fun sometimes!)..

what do you think you want to do with your project? stay toward stock, or drift over to the dark side of modifications? be careful we will drag you there kicking and screaming.. some offer treats, like cookeis and beverages.. (ignore them !!, wait.. thats me too!)..

I think we have someone doing any one of those actively right now (or claiming to, or were, or some such) Winters comin, and some are headed out to the shop now that its cooler (know I am), and some are headin back inside til spring..

but Welcome, and we LOVE pictures.. (some claim its cause we don't read so good!)

Sam
