Hello world

[Bowtie001]

Hello everyone.

This is a preemptive post in many ways. I am looking into getting getting a truck again (I used to have an 84 until the floor was patched for the 4th time and gas went to $3.50/gal in NY where I used to live). I have been in F**D hell driving a 1998 ZX2 that has three gears, but was designed with 5 and reverse. I am looking into a resto/custom type truck from 67-72 (sorry, I know I picked an oddball, right?). This is what I am thinking:

Now if the members of this board are as kind as they seem, they won't toy with the auction seeing as I am winning now (although the reserve is $1800, just don't want to commit yet).

Sounds like getting and driving would be first, cleaning and interior customizing would be second, paint would be third, and engine/transmission would be fourth... over a large period of time.

Today alone lurking around on this forum I learned:
how to drive a column shift
how to make patterns and vinyl up a custom door panel
different ways of lowering the truck
how NOT to open a safe
and last but not least - how nice it is to have ideas bouncing around. I love the photoshop stuff I have seen here. I may be hitting someone up for that soon. I cannot decide between a classy dark blue or a rat rod flat black, red wheels, whitewalls.

Like I said though - it's all preemptive, I don't even own a truck!

Anyway, thanks for providing such a cool forum!
