DC*90 · 07-15-2008, 09:25 AM

well i just turned 18 and starting to fall in love with rods again. im currently looking for a 64-66 short fleet. and after that i have a ford galaxie project that i want to do. i live in turlock ca, its almost central cali but lil more north. its in the 2o9. so hopefully i find a truck this next weekend or so. im looking for a project that runs and needs work, or a cheap roller.
