Greetings from Alabama!

Howdy, everyone! I've been lurking around for a while, thought I would intro myself. I lived in west Alabama all my life and I have a junk problem. I have rust running through my veins! My Mecca is Pull-a-part in Birmingham. My current projects are a 65 chevy c10 with a ford flatbed on it and a 76 chevy c10. I've cut the top off the 76 due to tornado damage. I plan on starting a thread on the 76 build so hopefully it will keep me motivated. I like this site more that other "ratty" sites because you don't have year model restrictions. Thanks for having me!

Howdy, everyone! ........... and I have a junk problem.

You know what they say, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. [S Who am I kidding, there's no cure for what we have.......just treatment. And you've come to the right place for treatment! Welcome aboard, I think you'll like it here!

I know what you mean 26Troadster. My 65 is a longbed, and the bed was shot. Bought it in Centerpoint for $500 and drove it back to Tusc. (actually Brookwood) at night! When I got up the next morning, I noticed that there was no nut holding the steering wheel on; if I'd pulled back on it, it would have come off! A lower A arm was about to fall off. I robbed the front end out of the 76 because of the damage during the Apr. 27 tornado, so it drives great. I'm going to make a convertible roadster of sorts out of the 76. Luckily, my shop survived the storm (which the 65 was in). The house wasn't so lucky. I still have some work to do to it, it got shifted off the slab a bit and a few puncture holes in the wall. This weather is awful, maybe it will warm up tomorrow! Thanks for the welcomes!

Pics are almost a must.

Daddy always said "never buy a car in the dark." But you can't expect too much for $500. Oh yeah, the floor gear shifter fell thru the floor when I pulled up to Mickey D's in Centerpoint. Had to tie it up with wire. But it's got a sweet runnin 75ish 250 6 cyl. that doesn't use a drop of oil hooked up to a turbo 400 that does. I'll start a thread and post pics this evening.
