Been lurking on here for a few years ,thought I'd better say Hi and join in the fun.I've been into hot rods since I was a kid.I have too many projects but the main one is my 1931 Ford sedan that I race up at Bonneville salt flats,173mph so far and hoping to up that a bit with the new motor I'm putting together right now.
I've met a few of the members from here up at Bonneville during speedweek.

Those 372" Red Diamond "Corn Binder" straight six motors seem to be a little hard to come up with. My looking fell through. Where in Colorado? my mother and brother and his family live around Denver (Lakewood). I'll be out there in june. I don't build motors but I can put in pop rivets. GPster

My mother and my wife have both decided that I need to go to the springs so I guess I'll be there sometime between the second and the tenth of June. You probably won't see to many Veraldo sin the phone book but I think that all of them but the one who is Italian are relatives of mine. Now I know what I can do if I get bored with hot springs.
