New guy from Kansas

My name is Chris and I live in Goddard, Ks. I will be retiring from the fire service next month after just under 35 years, over 30 of which were professionally. I've got a '51 F3 that I've owned since '88 that will start undergoing a frame-off restoration hopefully in October. I've started amassing parts, with the intention to put it back as close to original as I can. My wife has a '57 F100 that my late father-in-law did a farm shop restoration on back in '06.
We owned a small weld shop and also a trailer repair shop up until this year.
