[Plain Ed]

Hi from Council Bluffs, IA.

I am Ed Bishop and am building a 47 Ford 1T delivery van street rod. I have been collecting tools for over 40 years, saving money to budget the project, and recently retired so I can devote the time necessary to complete the build. The truck is pretty unique and there are no parts made so I have to make them. I have taken a couple of courses, most recently Pat Brubaker's course on designing and building floor pans. Pat puts on an excellent course that is chock full of tricks and tips. And he makes a mean pork barbeque. I highly recommend it (the course and the pork). But, I have so much yet to learn and I am hoping to pick up knowledge from you folks realizing there is no substitute for experience.
