Hey everyone, I reside in a little town called, Northford, CT. I'm building a '31 Model A Tudor w/ a 350, 40 over 10.5:1 pistons, tunnel ram w/ 2 450 Holleys, a medium Comps Cam, roller rockers 350 turbo w/ a shift kit 2600 stall speed convert and an 8" ford w 350 gears. During the day I work at Total Performance selling streetrod parts and T kits. "GREAT JOB" :D for a motor head like myself.
While i'm jabberjawing here, does anybody know the whereabouts of a 34 Olds 4 dr. sdn. w/ a 350 Olds motor, rear & trans power front windows and 66 Chey Biscayne tail lights might be hiding? I sold this car 30 years ago to a friend that was supposed to sell it back to me after my divorce but he sold it to someone else and I ain't seen it since. Sure miss her (the car, not the ex ).;)
I've been working on this car for the last 4 years. I'm still doin' the body work but the frame is done, painted and the drive train installed. Not being good at bodywork, it's going to be a while yet before it sees the road. But hey, that's what this hobby / lifestyle is all about.
If you want to check out my pics, go to my web site:

It hasn't been updated in the last year but you'll get the idea.
Looking forward to ratchet-jawing with everyone.
Keep the faith. Street IS neat!!

If you haven't wet your pants yet, I'm driving too slow!

Thanks.
Yeh, I do.:rolleyes: And nah, I'm just part time so I sit around answering the phones while Jim, Brian & Mickey hit the road shows. :(
I do work the spring swap meet at Stafford Springs here in CT. & I'm usually down in Florida in October for the SE Nats in Tampa. I've worked the Burlington, VT show in the past and the Worchester, MA. show but not this year. I was supposed to do the Saracuse, NY show this year but we may not be going there. Maybe next year I'll try and get to the T-Nats. For the time being, I'll just keep picking up the ring-a-ding and sell some parts and BS about cars with whomever happens to call.
If you ever call, just ask for Pete. Even if its just to say "hi". Always glad to kabitze with everyone.:)
