Hi New to your group

Well This my second post
Don't know where the first one ended up
Any how I'm starting to re-assemble my 72 w30 conv.
I've been playing with it since the mid 90's
This time I did a frame off
With any luck it'll be the last time I have it apart
I look forward to discussing my progress
See you in the 442 forum
Jeff

Welcome to the site Jeff! If your beginning the assembly process, would you have time to post pictures and comments in a major build thread? John

Welcome to the site. A frame off W30 resto? FWIW, a lot of the members here post their progress on projects like this as the car completes certain stages of rebuild. Don't be shy about posting 'as is'. In many cases it can help others see components of build that normally don't get seen.

If you run into problems, the guys on this site are really good about helping and sharing info. In some cases, you can research parts of your build by entering keywords into the 'Search' tab at the top of the screen. 'New Posts' also helps keep you up to speed with what's happening on daily basis.

Soooo, how about a little history about your journey with this car??

Welcome to CO

As said above we all like to follow major build threads with progress pictures. It also helps those on the site who have never done a major build understand what the process is.

I like how this more or less is structured like a poem or the lyrics to a song.

Remember, poems don't have to rhyme.

One of my all time favorite poems

There once was a man with a nagging wife
Who never listened to a word he said
He looked her straight in the eye
And said, I'm outta here, don't come lookin
This poem doesn't rhyme
It just makes good sense!

By Henry Gibson (lets see how many of you remember who that was!!)
