Hi all. Mark's the name but people call me Bog (severe hesitation before severe acceleration). I've been into the older cars as long as I could open and close my eyes. My first experience was watching a 65 SS Chevelle do a burnout across an intersection while I was waiting for a bus. I was 11 and the car was brand new.
At any rate I now drive a 31 A coupe with a flattie, it won't get out of it's own way but it's a pile of fun. The insurance lady wanted me to sign everywhere to verify that I was only going to use it for pleasure use. I said "pardon"..."uh no...I'm drivin this puppy every day till it snows"
I'll try and get some pics up later

Don't mind him, Mark. He just turned 67...... names are meaningless but he remembers horsepower and torque specs on every foreign and domestic car made since '03 (that's 1903 for you youngin's).

Oh, and welcome!!

Thanks for the welcome guys & gals. This roddin is way more fun than drag racing, a lot more seat time. Hey Tinman, we're planning a trip up to PG next summer. We met Davey Joe in 07 with my wifes 53 GMC, maybe you were there
As for being called Bob, no problem, just don't call me late for dinner.
John in Oz, I've always wanted to visit Oz, but the cheap flights to mexico keep getting in the way. I understand Oz is car season all year long.

Welcome to the site Mark, posting a picture is no problem for most. It took me about 5 months to figure it out but with Franks [techhead] help its easy, still not sure of the size.

I have fixed the front fenders since this pic. The Vicky is mine also

MBog

The headlight bar was wrong, It was pulling the fenders in toward each other. With the proper bar it lowered the fenders over the tires. Now that I know how I'll post more pics when it stops raining.

No, a buddy gave me a new chrome standard one. It worked but I see what you mean, a dropped one will be this winter
