Alright, I was waiting 'til I had some pix of the just blown aqua scallops and silver pins (courtesy of myself) but I'll just throw out the most recent pics. My name is Kevin, I live in Austin, TX and have been into racing/rods all my life.My dad, uncles, and grandpa raced and built lowriders, so it's in the blood. This is my first classic so far. It's a '62 Imp with a straight 6. So far, I've done all the aqua, including the steelies, the moons, valve covers. Perfomance wise I've put in a glass pack with a 2 1/2 pipe and replaced the points with an electronic ignition. Eventually when I get the bones, I'm hooking up a Clifford header and Weber double carb conversion. Looks wise, I'm dropping it 3' with springs from Classic Industries and putting in Energy Suspension bushings and a sway bar. I want to spray it pearl white, but money again. I have nosed/shaved/decked and blended the trunk chrome into the fascia. So anyway, here I am. Thanks to the HAMB guys for a cool board and my wife and kids for putting up with the "Other Woman". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I've been trying to get a hold of you guys ("The Kontinentals") but you never write back. Do ya'll have an age limit on the rides you let in?

I want to post pics but all of mine are too big (not the first time I've heard this http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif) Anyone know how I can shrink a pictures byte size down?
