Lurker no mo.

[one finger john]

Everybody, have watched this site since the beginning and have finally decided to join. Originally got frustrated not seeing pictures that were posted, then said , "What the heck, join". So I did. Lots questions, but I will start in the Lounge and then venture out.

Thanks, One Finger John.


P.S. I know I will be all over the place as far as spelling and such, so please be patient until I get used to being here.

O. K. , this is better. My last post seems to have gone off into the ethers. And it was a really nice post, almost "Gone With The Wind" quality. Poured my heart out. Asked for forgiveness (and a nice used T less eng. & trans w/title). Hit send and nothing. Told me I needed to register. ??? This will be an interesting learning process. Seems to have worked this time. With the way I type my vanished post took A LONG time to compose. Oh Well. Will keep trying. I`ll get the hang of it. Tfeverfred, you inspire me with every one of your posts. Are you really 7 feet tall?

Will post again later today, one finger john, out.

welcome OFJ you will fit in here just right. I would bet since he drives in LA a lot that the "one finger john" has nothing to do with typing. When i go to visit the rooster uses the same finger too. A lot

Due to some spinal compression caused by the accident, I think he's only 6' 11-15/16" tall now...

Good evening gentleman! This is the first chance to get back to you so here I am. First I want to thank norseman and san-i-t for figureing out my typing style. It takes a while but I do communicate. San-i-t must use a cut and paste off his Word or whatever to be able to utilize spell check ( seriously, they don`t have it here at the site?). I am not that sophisticated yet. I`ll get the hang of it. Yes Youngster Ron, it is a great site and I look forward to coming here. Rooster, I am really quite Zen like in my driving. If something happens , then it is the CAR not the driver that is at fault. Saves wear and tear on me and my car. And LumenAl, I have no T yet, I live in a one room apt. w/no garage so it`s a little rough. I have always been mechanically inclined, so not having a garage for projects can be rough.I have to ask my first T question. LumenAl, when you went to a heavier front end and so, why? Does it look more in proportion? or are the roads rougher in your home town? Followed your rebuild and the finished product and I was amazed. What a change. What foresight. I`m good with engines so I won`t be there much, but I will probably start in the chassis section. See you there.

I wanted to beef up the radius rods and wanted a beefier axle for what I felt was better proportions and I knew if Ron (PRM) built it, it'd be stout... and it was... but then again... I have a propensity to overkill... :lol:

Hey... if you're good at engines, jump on in and share...

Thanks for the complements! :lol:
