Lurker turned Member!

[RoscoeB]

Great Site!
Great Forum!
Great Members!
As many others, I have been lurking here for a while... and the guilt has finally got to me! I have garnered a lot of invaluable information and feel it's time to give back... or at least provide insight where I can.
Besides the informative threads, the general discussions and pictures are great.
I hope to contribute something along the way.

Best Regards,
Roscoe
P.S. Attached is a picture of my shop... er, garage.

Welcome to GJ. About time you started posting up.

Welcome and very cool roadster. That quickie hanging out the back just looks bitchen. Winters? Did you come over from the Hamb also.

 

[Call me the Breeze]

Welcome, Glad you decided to join. Nice place you have there, and a very cool car!

 

[HOTFR8]

Welcome, Nice looking Rod.

 

[Bull]

Oh, wow. That rod looks awesome, and the shop locks chock full of vintage cool. Just my style. The blast cabinet looks like a beast, and the old Snap-on Tools sign up on the wall looks like a rare item and a great display piece.

Welcome aboard.

i thought i could be a lurker on here... but that didnt work out lol.

 

[Scuderia-F1]

Hm, it´s a little "odd" to say welcome since you signed up a long time before I did so.
But I must say that you´ve got yourself an awesome Hot Rod & shop there. Would like to see some more pics of the roadster, the shop & the TOOLS!

....some pics of the 348/409 would also be nice!

 

[Coolabah]

Err....I feel a little awkward telling you this..but you have one of the nicest rods I have seen in quite a while ?? ....

Welcome to GJ, please post some photos of the engine if you get a chance !!

Thanks for all the 'welcomes' and kind words. It's folks like you guys that made me want to become an 'official' member. I just hope that I can contribute worth while 'garage' trials and tribulations.

The picture of my shop... er garage, was from a year or so ago. I'll have to update that picure since I have added a few new pieces. One man's junk is another man's treasure.
I didn't post pics of my roadster to deture from the garage theme, but then again, I guess it's part of my garage... hell, it lives there!
1930 Ford Roadster period correct for late 50's early 60's, 1932 frame, 1963 409, early Muncie M-20 wide ratio, early 60's Halibrand 'Champ' Quickchange, blah, blah, blah. I inheridted the car from my grandfather in 1986 and drove it as a museum-quality stocker until... well, you know, I had to make it my own. Blasphemy from a restorer's point of view... true form and fashion from a hot rodders view. It's all good... and proud to say the entire story is in the Rodder's Journal, #46 (about a year ago).

Best Regards,
Roscoe
