New Guy from Houston, Texas

[texag09]

Howdy,

Just wondered over from the HAMB (same user name). Not good at introductions but these photos should tell you what I have, what I like, and what I am working on.

My First Garage: (Ocean Springs, Ms) - Circa 2013









My New Garage: (Houston, Tx) - Purchased 2014 Ongoing project

Started as a blank slate with 35 year old sheet rock. Working my way around the garage ripping out sheet rock and replacing with shelves/cabinets/peg board. One section at a time after work and on the weekends.

Tex: you should have a good time on our forum from what i can see in your pictures.

here's my new addition to the fleet that my bride has seen and doesn't want parked in front of our house. i'm looking for information on it and the link to that thread is in my signature if you want to post on it.

you should get plenty of ideas on how to organize or spiff up your old garage here in the garage gallery section and if you like old tools you'll find me usually in the vise and old tools threads.

welcome and tell me about your flatbed truck and is it a Ford or ??

I like the first pic in line is the one with the Aggie flag and your into aircooled VWs. You seem to be a standup guy. Welcome to the group!

Thanks for the welcome, it is a 48 Ford F-5 Cab Over. Originally powered by a 24 Stud Flathead, currently working on a frame swap for it, 1989 uhaul truck frame. Building a turbo charged 300ci inline Ford 6 cyl.

Tex: i wish i lived closer to you and i'd have you look at my "little" 1978 Ford C800 flatbed truck. i started a thread on it and if you wouldn't mind reading it or just posting a few comments on it i'd appreciate it. i'm not good with engines (yet) because i spent most of my life chasing my 5 kids and hitting golf balls 400 yards. link for my Ford is in my signature and if you do start a thread or two might i suggest you put the link(s) in your signature and you do that in your GJ profile which might be exactly like the HAMB one you already are familiar with.

if you have questions just ask

cheers and thanks for the scoop on your truck

Dig the projects, neighbor. Won't hold being an Aggie against you.
