Great lookin truck you got there- My first vehicle was a lowered truck and finally worked my way through several different rods now. Good to see young guys with an interest in old tin. Good Luck!

Nice to see young guys interested in American iron instead of rice rockets. I think you'll have fun here, just don't let all of the old guys intimidate you. They're just havin fun. Never in my life have I met so many good folks as I have since I started my hot rod project. Doesn't matter what we do for a living, how much money we have or don't have, or how old we are - we're all interested in havin fun with cars. 29robert [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] La Verne, California Charter Member since November 2004   Posted by Rods & Customs by Leon  -  12/22/2007 11:36 PM Cameron Its good to see ya join the site, Welcome aboard Rods & Customs by Leon [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Highlands, Texas Charter Member since May 2004   Posted by 37tin  -  12/23/2007 02:16 AM Yes, welcome cameron, I've been losing faith in the youngun's and then a guy like yourself pops up, fantastic!!. you have entered into a hobby that will last a lifetime, you will probably fall out of it for a while as life goes on, but trust me ,you will be back, to many good people and a great common bond .hot rodders are great people. 37tin [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] langley, Canada   Posted by softtail1334  -  12/23/2007 09:46 AM Welcome Cameron.
