Another buckethead..

[norseman]

Howdy, been snooping around for awhile and figured I might as well check in.
some of you all know me as butterfinger over at the ntba.
Been into Ts for a few years, having a ball with mine. Other cars in my life have included a 55 chevy del ray , one 57 chev belair, monza spyders etc etc etc..
NONE got the attention the T gets. I currently live in a busy car neighborhood with an impala and camaro fetish. I have a decent shop to work in and could probably stay busy doing old car stuff if i wanted to. Rather do it for fun. Currently finishing off a teardrop camper to take behind the T or the wifes buick or one of the impalas. lol
I have made my living doing steel fabrication work, been welding as long as I can remember. Also ran a fishing guide buisness for a number of years.
Went to school for auto mech back about 20 years ago plus adult education bodyshop classes. (needed to hang a set of quarterpanels on a 70 chevelle lol)
Pretty much into old surf rock and roll hotrods and spending as much time as possible with my family. My 6 year old daughter loves going for drives around beautiful up north minnesota lakes country. Later all!! Paul

Welcome Norseman, I'd like to see some pics of the teardrop. :food:

 

[norseman]

Ill stick up some teardrop pics when the weather warms up and I can finish it off. Been to much of a tightwad to heat the shop this winter with the cost of propane. Was a fun project, took about a year of spare time. Need to put finish coat on it.

Paul,

Some how I missed your intro. As I read it the first time, I couldn't help remember some of my passed rides. See if this sounds familar. A '55 Chevy Del Ray, A '57 Chevy sport coupe, 3 Vega with sbc's and some T buckets for the fun of it. Those Texas boys ain't got nothin' on us Minnesota Yankees, huh?

That was the first set of "mags" in Stillwater. They're Fenton wabblers. I went thru 7 wheels before we found 4 that didn't have excessive runout. I was the second owner of the car. Paid $900 for it when you could buy a nice one for $650 to $700. The color was bronze and white. It had a 265 / 'glide in it. Wasn't fast,but sure was pretty. I used ta charge the girls $.25 to ride in the back seat and $.50 to ride up front with me. When you're makin' $2.15 an hour, you had to be creative in coming up with gas money. Had my Dad sell it when I was in boot camp with two $47 payments left on it. Sorry, ididn't mean to ramble on.

No but I carry around a pocket full of 50 cent pieces just in case I get a chance to ride with some girl.
