    Hello there fellow HAMBers,
    There isn’t much to say about me. I had this account for some time now but haven’t taken the time to actually write a little about myself and my ride. My name is Jason I live in Corona CA; I drive a 1953 Buick 4 door super which my buddy and I actually made the car into what it is now. I bought the car from a buddy out here in the IE, the body was straight, a couple dents here and there and the engine and tranny needed some loving as well. I still drove here around every chance I got but eventually the transmission gave out on me completely at a Del taco and I ended up having to drive her home on low gear. I set out to get the tranny fixed and through a friend of my brothers I was able to find someone that could hook it up with a reasonable price to fix it. Well 6 months later the tranny I took it to still didn’t fix it and I ended up losing all the money I put into getting it fixed. During this time I was introduced to a good friend of mine now named Ricky Ricardo and worked out a deal where I ended up with a rebuilt 454 Chevy big block, new Trans, air bags all around and some body work and a new paint job. So far everything has been going smoothly with it just last month I gave her a new grill to show off. I’m always open to any ideas given to me to do to my car. I’m a real nice guy so if you want to say what’s up to me at a car show or through a PM feel free to I will post up pictures showing the progress of the car as it went and will be going in the future.
