But I have tons of work to do. All of the cranks and pedals are rusted solid. The body is in fair shape have some rust issues around the cab seam and floor board and the list goes on. Any way hello everyone, it's nice to be here. I saw a restored 46 at a swap meet in Rosanky Texas. It was in the car show and was pretty nice. I believe the guy is from Halletsville Texas. Any way I look forward to learning as this is my first restore. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Alright, another Texan. You've come to the right place. It's easy to get overwhelmed on a restoration so start slowly. Do a lot of reading here before you start turning wrenches. Lots of knowledge to help you avoid making the mistakes we did. If you're wondering how to do something use the search feature. You'll probably find several opinions on how to, most of them right. If not , ask.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
