Hi all, just introducing myself on yer fine forum! Have been a reader for some time and thought i should stop being a slacker and get to posting. Have been around hot rods customs and muscle since my early years and certainly appreciate the old cars and lifestyle. Love my rockabilly(play some bullfiddle) and have been doin a bit of striping for about 8 or 9 years. i'm 30 and married with 3 kids so been hard to find my own time the past few years.

I have a 68 Valiant(Aussie) with a 383BB that i like to autocross and recently bought a sweet 55 Dodge Kingsway that is virtually a 54 coronet or meadowbrook. Have been piecing together a disc brake conversion for it to make it safer for the wife to drive and am keeping it pretty mild. Here's a few pics-
