Congrats Andy, and welcome to the Stovebolt Page! There's planty of us in here who can help you patch things up with the missus ("Look what followed me home, Hon!!") It ain't so bad sleeping out in the barn -- sortta like summer camp. Only in the winter...

Anyway, have you been to the Tech Tips section of the Web Site? Use the menu bar at the top of the page. We have a lot of good info from the gang collected there. Please read the one about shop safety first. In the Tech Tips is an FAQ about how to start a restoration -- go read that, too.

Have you gotten a copy of Tom Brownell's book, "How to Restore your Chevrolet Pickup" yet? He has a new edition out. If you don't have it, go to the Features link (above in the menu bar), read the book review and go to the Motorbooks site from there (we get credit and it helps pay for the server and this bulletin board software) and order one.

After you do all that, then keep asking us questions -- lots of talent and experience here to be used. The only stupid question is the one not asked!

And thanks again for stopping by -- we're glad you're here and we hope you enjoy hanging with us.

Regards,
John
