New Member Here from FTE

Rangerapb
Hello everyone. My name is Alan, I'm still over on FTE as 4x484150, but I wanted to migrate over here since  it seems there's more going on on Gary's site  Also, I have begun to work on my truck more recently after letting it sit on the back burner for a little (long) while.

Welcome, Alan!  Glad you came over, and glad to meet you.  

Where's home?  One thing we have that some others don't is a members' map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map).  We don't put addresses on, just the town/city in which people live, but it helps us know something about each other.

So, if you'd like to be on just tell me where home is and I'll add you.

As for the back burner, Dad's truck can certainly understand that.  But he's now getting some belated attention and seems pleased - as I'm sure your truck is/will be.

Speaking of your truck, you might consider a signature that tells us what it is so we don't have to ask each time.

Thanks guys, glad I can start working on it again, and have a more active forum, with members I'm more familiar with.

I'm originally from New Hampshire, but living in  Goose Creek, South Carolina due to military. I'd like to add my spot to the map Gary.

I also added my signature. I think I covered everything

I'll get some info and pics together for a build thread soon.

It doesn't have to be momentous or thorough.  Just do your thing.

I'd just like to cover the big stuff, not go into depth like your 20 page micro-analysis threads

It's only an 8-page micro-analysis!!!!  

Has my notoriety grown on FTE after I left?

Is that notoriety or fame?  Jealousy or admiration?

Yes.






But in all seriousness, your information is invaluable, so I'd say fame and admiration.

He would, in deed!  Thanks for the reminder, David.  

I was literally just thinking about him.  He'd be taking bets with my brother about whether I'll ever get his truck back together.  They certainly did on whether I'd get the boat Dad and Mom gave us back together.
 It needed lots of work and I took it well and truly APART, but I got it back together.

BTW thank you for fixing your title, links to your site no longer look broken (with three ???s in them).

You don't have PMs on this site, do you, Gary? Maybe facebook chat...
