New on the block

Greetings all. New here, just wanted to introduce myself. Proud owner of a 56 super 88. Just starting out on this build, car is in pretty good shape. Looking forward to spending some time conversing with you all and I hope I can be of some help to some as well. I'll get some pics of my car up here pretty soon. Anyone around the Dallas area hit me up if you want.

Welcome to CO, Texas Rockabilly! Yep, a few of us on here. I'm in East Dallas, by White Rock Lake. We will need photographic evidence of your '56, of course.

citcapp, thanks for the thread! I'll be posting there soon. Here is a link to my car domain page. The pics weren't showing up on that site lately, not sure if you guys can see them or not. When I get home I will post some here.

Looks like you are just to my right 5-10 minutes or so!
Of course I liked Wylie better when it was a sleepy town......
If you need a hand with something, there are at least 3 of us in close distance.

Sorry friend, I'm gonna pass on those drinks. Had to give the poison up for 3 reasons:
1- That stuff just about killed me a few years back.
2- I can't afford that mess now.
and 3- ......seriously, that stuff is expensive! lol.

Got a family to think about now, know what I mean? But I appreciate the offer. Maybe we can just cruise.

Welcome man. Looks like we are neighbors. I want a 54 bad so seeing yours will not help that LOL. Not much of a drinker myself. As a kid I watched the affects of booze on both my grand dads and saw them both die of illnesses related to thier addictions to it.
