New Here w/ 51 F1

Picked this up from a member on here (JMadsen). This will be a frame up build, however will be a slow build. Very excited about this truck, even the family likes it (Bonus). In the past Drag raced a 71 Camaro, and a Drag Bike (Neither were street legal). This will be a Street/Strip build. Anyway just wanted to introduce myself.

Agreed, the '51-'52 trucks were meant to get down to business, not to "monkey" around

Good to see another one of the most beautiful trucks ever built join the site Welcome
