Hey do you fellas allow girls in your garage? I don't smoke cigars, but do have a truck...1952 3100 that I'm in the process of restoring. Bought it from the estate of a guy in California, hadn't been moved from where he parked it 25 years ago. LOTS of work, but LOTS of potential. Not my first restoration, bought a 31 Model A rumble seat coupe when I was 14, fixed it up and drove it to high school (had to dodge dinosaurs in those days) I still have the "A". Anyway love your website! I have TONS of questions and I'd sure appreciate your help with this project.

Hi PJS welcome to the 'bolt.

I guess we'll have to speak to the 'Mods'
They'll need to add a new title...i,e 'New Gal' seeing as we have New Guy,Wrench Fetcher etc...... grin

We all share the same passion.
Have fun!
