Hello guys...

I have viewed many posts over the last five or six months and thought it was time to jump in and make the introduction. I have seen many heads roll after making the mistake to post and not introduce... so here we go.

My name is Josh and I live in Rancho Cucamonga, California (About 10 minutes from Pomona). I can't say that I'm a master at working with cars, but I enjoy it and do most work myself. My current cars include a 1941 Chevy coupe which is pictured here. I am on a crash course to get it running. It has been a weekend project over the last 6 weeks and should be on the road in about 2 more. I would have loved to go with something more traditional, but I found a new 350HO crate motor still in the box for only $500.00 so I couldn't pass it up.
I also have a 1951 Cadillac sixty-one series coupe with a 331. Engine is stock with offy valve covers. This car is lowered with whitewalls and has been nosed and decked. And of course the interior is tuck & roll. My last car is a 1952 Cadillac Fleetwood. It is a project waiting to happen.
Once finished with my Chevy I am looking forward to putting together a Model A coupe or a 1932 pickup truck.
I already know many people who are members here, but look forward to meeting others.

Best Regards,
Josh

What? You dont like the 1980's wheels? Hahaha

I hate them too... But they came on the car and are going to be replaced when the car is actually running. I either want the original style painted wheel and smoothies or a pair of classic styled chrome rims. Either way the white walls stay and the wheels go...

Good intro. Those wheels on the 41 would look wonderful on your car trailer. I gotta black 41 coupe too, only mine's a poncho. As for the 350 crate motor..use it with no guilt.. it'll be a chevy in a chevy. In fact, I have one in my daily driver astro van and I've had really good luck with it. Never uses oil and runs just fine for a stocker..

Cherrysoda, I've visited your website a number of times in the past. That Plymouth was a beautiful car.

I really liked the photochop you did on it where you lowered it, tinted the windows, got rid of the turn signal ligts, etc...

I bet you miss it.
