New member and a new project

I have been lurking around here for a while and thought it was time to say hello!
So HELLO! My name is Chris, I am from St. Louis, Missouri in The US.
I have a '77 LHD tintop
Look for a build thread in the "show us your ride" section!
Edit: Here is the link:http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/teaching-an-old-dog-new-tricks.21715/
Here is a pic of what it looks like now :

and a quick rendering of the direction that I am going!

(I know that the rendering above is of an prototype bay)
Looking at a touring style with some modern day touches to make it more enjoyable on today's highways!
Let me know what you think!

 

Hello & Welcome from The Colonial Contingent

Better keep us updated as you go along, we love pictures

 

Welcome leadsled

 

Thanks Everyone! Updates will be in my build thread so keep your eyes peeled!

 

Hello n welcome - gonna look cool!

 

Terrordales,
I am curious about some of the things in your signature.
Would I be correct in assuming that the Colonial Contingent would be us members located in the United States?
And what exactly is MOTTLBOFC?

 

Hello

 

hi and welcome fella

 

Hello and Thank You!

 

leadsled2020 No, I'm in Australia not the States, although I used to live in Connecticut. Although members from any of the colonies, past or present, are welcome. We do not discriminate, even Canadians & New Zealanders are welcome
MOTTLBOFC stands for Member Of The TLB Old Farts Club , a sub group of TLB
The TLB Malt Circle is a sub group who are not averse to a drop of malt whisky, preferably Scottish but a couple of members have snuck in their Irish whiskies

 

Terrordales Thanks for the clarification! May I petition to join The Colonial Contingent?
Australia! I am considering making the move there myself, do you suggest it?

 

Consider yourself a member of The Colonial Contingent
Aussie is a great place to live, the biggest drawback is that everywhere else is so far away

 

Being so far away might not be such a bad thing! You don't have to deal with all of the rest of the "civilized world's" nonsense!

 

Unfortunately we do have to put up with the rest of the world & their nonsense. Come over for an extended stay & see what you think. The east coast is very similar to California in climate

 

I may have to do that! Thanks!

 

I can't wait to see the progress!! Welcome

 

Farrantini Thanks!

 

Theres nothing like a bit of rust to get interest on here

Thanks jivedubbin! Not so sunny here today either
