Hello!!! I have been working cars for about 20 plus years. Started with my Dad on a 1954 Chevy truck. Had a 69 El Camino for my first car and built the engine myself in the garage. Had a few newer cars next and started me wrenching again on a 73 Jeep Cj5. Put a list, power steering, 360 AMC V8, electronic ignition in it. Then bought my first hot rod, 29 roadster pu. Bought a rolling frame and a body. Replaced most of the stuff the previous owner did and then did the rest myself. While working on that I bought a 52 Caddy 62 series as a project. It was too cheap to pass up. Less than 60K original miles. I then bought my wife a 62 Nova Wagon that she never drives. Everyone thinks it is my car now since I drive it so much. I have been reading the HAMB for a while and finally took the time to register. Hope to make some new friends and learn a lot.

Have you heard of the So Cal Novas? We do something about once per month.

Last month we did a tour of CPP (we had about 50 novas there) and in a few weeks we are doing a cruise through the Temecula wineries and having a pot luck at lake skinner.
