New Guy From Iowa

Hello everyone. Seems like a nice forum. I'm looking for ideas, tips and tricks for my 52 Chevy COE build. I've already seen a few similar builds.

I'm new to ratrods but not the sickness. I've built a few Jeeps, Broncos and a sleeper for my dad. I help a buddy at the track with his drag car. My family often vacations in Moab.

I'm an electrical engineer by trade. Served in the USN aboard submarines. Currently working for Hammond Roto Finish. We build finishing equipment of all kinds.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello and welcome

I got this 1952 Chevy COE from my grandfather. The truck was built May 20th 1952. He bought it July 31st 1957. He passed away in June of this year and I inherited this truck and a small farm.

The Wilson was originally a ballistic missile boat but was converted to a spec ops boat later. The Bolivar was always a boomer. The boomers stationed in Charleston would spend most of the time in Kings Bay, GA.

i can't remember the tenders name there but i used to watch the boomers go in and out. they where a lot bigger then ours. we did have the last diesel electric (bonefish) in our group then i heard it burnt off the coast of florida killing 3 sailors. i heard they decommed her then and sold for scarp.
