Newly registered but from VA Beach

[TomZ]

Hello folks!

Long time reader. Decided that I should finally get myself an account and participate!

I started my hot rodding escapades in my teens during the 80's with a friend's '69 Charger RT/SE and then found myself obsessed with Mopars. I've had too many to count, but sadly adulthood and responsibilities removed me from the fun. I still have Chrysler products, my '05 300C and my wife's Durnago, but I've migrated somewhat over to the Chevy camp.

Currently, I'm resurrecting a former bracket raced '88 S15. I bought it as a running project but pretty much tore it apart when I found out how hacked it really was. A Brodix head equiped 355 roller has replaced the 305 that used to reside in the engine bay, and a lot of the hack work is being repaired. The truck has been a three year project now, and I'm hoping to have her on the road by spring. Lots to do!

Anyway, just thought I'd come in and say hello!

Thanks!
Tom

But this does not mean that you are not welcome here! There are a lot of members that have "non hamb friendly" vehicles, they just don't discuss them here. Stick around and enjoy the h.a.m.b. and welcome from Arkansas... :D

Well then, way to make a guy feel welcomed. Thanks.


Hot Rod: a car modified to increase its speed and acceleration.

I think the truck definitely qualifies based on the definition. I don't want to step on anyone's toes or piss off any people here, but jeez that was rather rude.

As far as the go-cart is concerned, check out the "social group's", might just be one for people interested in them. Stick around and enjoy the h.a.m.b. and welcome from Arkansas... :D

Thanks!!

I've been coming here looking at opinions, views, tech stuff, etc. for a long time now. I spent the last few nights reading about the old street racers stories (27 pages!) and that took me back to the days of old myself (retired street racer from up in the D.C. area).

Until I picked up the truck, I considered building a '34 Chevy pickup that my neighbor had in his garage. It was all apart but all there and setup for a small block. The Mrs. wasn't so keen on it so I passed. I guess I have an affinity for pickups. One day I'll do a rod. Actually, I have thought about throwing a Willys body on the S15 frame. I know that using a late model frame is kinda looked down upon by some, but Auto Classics makes a kit to do it. Anyway... just a thought.

Again, thanks for the welcome!

I, for one, don't really give a shit what others think, never have/never will, as long as it's my time and money I'll use it any way I choose fit!
With that being said... Check out my photo album, in my profile. The '46 Ford Business Coupe is on a modified S10 chassis. Do a search for the "definitive S10 chassis" post, there's a lot of good info on the subject...

[TomZ]

Sweet! I'll check it out for sure.

Thanks!

It wasn't being rude at all, statement of more truth than not. NEVER DID I SAY YOU WERE NOT WELCOME !!!!

Sorry... it just came across that way.

Welcome from Iowa!

Hey Tom, as you will see, you can discuss anything you want to here, but unless you have REALLY thick skin, it better be pre-'64 traditional (like they would have done it pre-'64)! Just be forwarned!

Off the record, I like just about anything with an engine and at least 2 wheels!

Oh...and I'm just southwest of you! Welcome!
