HELLO People!!!,
I have not talked to ya'll in over a year,
I had lost my password, and amoung alot of
life happening inbetween , have just now reregistered.
I still read ya'lls postings, and learned more, just couldn't yack back, witch was probably lucky for ya'll.
my old board name was w.i.p.'68, so I went with
still w.i.p '68, and as the name denotes it is still , a
work in progress, I do now have the big block built,and
inplace, I put it in to run it. As it will still come back out,
to put rebuild the front end. but I'm happy with that much progress, along with gathering alot of other parts. now all I need is the time, and coin to do the suspension work, and so on, and so on, and so on. Happy new year from East Texas...John
