Hi, Im Mike and I am new.

I just bought a 51 Chevy that I am going to build. Its got a fresh 235 a 3 speed and a 4.10. It was only $1,500. How could I pass on that.

Here are some pics:

85 Volvo 240 custom:
This car had a Toyota supercharger on a stock Volvo 4 cylinder. Air bags, flamethrowers etc. This was the car that I used to learn on. It was pretty sweet when it was done and once ran a 14.7 at Fontana. I know its not that fast, but its damn good for an old Volvo 240.

Thats that on the cars. Whatever free time I get, that isnt involved with cars, I spend playing upright bass in a punk/ pychobilly band.
