Good info for someone in his area. Maybe it could fit somewhere in the "Links" category.

Perhaps for now Daren can limit himself to jumping in on the forums and offering advice and help as the rest of us are doing, and at some point he may get his web site up and going, then we could link to it.

although i have stopped going to shows with my street rod(1946 plymouth 4 door sedan)b/c of the attitude of the other rodders. I don't look at brands, only USA made. truth is they use alot of the same parts, and the stuff that is truely better, why limit myself b/c of brand? to each his own,and if it works, who cares? aren't we doing this for pleasure? as my momma used to say........

| | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 133 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 133 | hey guys. surfing the web and found a AD 1/2 ton for sale in TX. it was done up original with nice paint and they wanted 52,000 for it. it looked nice, but i've seen diy's in the gallery that looked just as good, and probably cost ALOT less to put together. anyways i'd have a hard time using it as a pu at that price, and i don't care for trailer queens. just my opinion.
