Might as well join, I'm on here every day! Have been
collecting pics of 'A' Coupes from the board. Built a
31 in the late 60's, and got the itch to do another one.
Built several 'fat' fenders, and several muscle cars.
Current ride is a 66Nova sedan.
Be talking to ya! Rich

Thank's for the welcome WHEELSPINNER! I like
your style in Coupes, and that Camaro sounds
healthy.
Here's an old pic of the 'A' that is long gone, had
a lot of fun with that car. Made several SRNats with it.

Welcome from La Porte. Your shop looks awesome! Glad to see another Indiana HAMB'er. And Scotty T, by valpo cruise nights, do you mean the hang out on fridays at Target's parking lot?? What ever happened to that? I went for a while, then I heard they shut it down because of somebody doing a burnout.

Thank's, I have several friends from LaPorte. You
guy's get to much lake effect snow though!! LOL
Made the Target scene, but some 'tuner' guy's
got a little crazy there so they shut it down. They
supposedly moved to the other side of town, but
it didn't do well there.
Take care, Rich
