    New Factory Five family member

    I want to introduce myself. I’m Ronnie, from central Florida area (in the winter). I ordered my very first complete kit last weekend. The 35 pickup. I requested the delivery for November when I return home. Then myself and a friend who’s more like a brother to me will start the assembly and personalization of the truck. I am very excited and looking forward to getting to know others.

    Hi there Ronnie welcome to the family. The 35 truck looks like a great platform like the the '33 to customize in just about anyway that you can think of . Looks like your the second truck in Florida with Wallace being the first. Hope you decide to start a build thread, cause a lot of people are curious how builders will attack the build.

    Have fun with the build.
    There was a "legmaker" on the Dodge forums that was a whiz with carbon fiber etc.
    he made prosthetics, thus the screen name.

    Dale, in the field,of Prosthetics it is a common thing for us to use Carbon. My big advantage is that my chemist and I formulated a blend of Epoxy resins that are extremely strong. I use it in making legs and braces for horses, cows, and people too. I’m looking forward to modifying or creating various parts of the truck to meet my desires and needs. PRS are the initials for my company in central Fl.
    I’m looking forward to meeting others on the forum. I’m just sad that I have to wait till I get back to Fl in Nov to start. Gives me a long time to drool!!

    Thank you Johnny. I used to drag race in Kearney back in the mid 70s. I was helping on a friends car back then. As of right now, we’ll be using a Crown Vic police donor car with an automatic. I will keep you guys in mind if anything changes.
    Thanks again,
    Ronnie

    I’d like to get in touch with Wallace if he’s on the thread. Hoping to get hints when he does his build. I won’t start mine until November.
