New Guy Intro

Hello to all! I've been lurking around the forum for a while trying to get my bearings. I'm not a member of any other forum so this is all new to me. Thankfully, from reading other posts, I'm beginning to catch on. I think FTE is a great site and all of you make it so!

My truck is a 1954 F100 that I have owned since the early 80's. I originally intended to restore it to "original" and made some progress over the years. As I got older, I realized that my skill level was lacking in some areas so late last year I decided to go for a professional resto/mod. There are many modern conveniences being added to the rebuild. I will post some pics in an album or two in the next few days.

Thanks to all of you for being a great bunch of folks. Later...BA

Glad to have you around. The folks here are amazing with their knowledge, and they even tolerate dunces like me.
Pictures....yeah, that's a theme here. I think it is one of the side effects of the disease.

Welcome BA! I'm new around here as well after being a long-time lurker. Also glad to see another with a truck they've owned for awhile but are not quite finished with yet. Good luck on your resto/mod. Looking forward to more pics.
