Hello. Now that I have the time, I'll give myself a formal introduction. Anyways, my name is Josh and I'm in Gilbert AZ. I was referred to this board a few months ago from a member who lives a few miles from me.
Anyways, I've had a few vehicles, all of which I still have. My first was an 87 S10 blazer that was my first vehicle. It was a salvage, but over a few years time I turned it into a 4 time show winner. Next is my 75 Pontiac Astre GT, same body as the Vega. I pulled this out of a wrecking yard for $70, and turned it into my driver/strip car. It puts out 300 rwhp, and runs mid-13's with radials and an open rearend.
Finally, my current project (and technically my first car, but I never did it because it needed a motor) which is a 58 Edsel Pacer. I got this when I was 14. Now I finally have a 390 ready to go in, with a 3x2 Edelbrock setup. I have 4 wheel discs, and am just gonna get it on the road in the original paint and drive it, looking field fresh (that's where I pulled it out of).

Look forward to being a poster!
