    I woulda never thought that I'd ever meet him unless I attended a class, workshop, chop, or something like that!

    wish I was that ambicious to try a chop but alittle to much for this old guy "74", the 54 tail lights will probably push my patients to the limits

    Wow, looking great man! I wanna chop mine like that one day. That's cool about Gene. I got to meet Bill Hines a few years ago at ink n iron in Ca it's so awesome when you can meet legends like that and they are just kool down to Earth kinda guys. Keep the posts coming man, look forward to watching the progress!

    Looks VERY good, I see were 'buddys in the Longroofs, I'm really pretty green in this forum stuff, but been building cars forever. Have a 63'bel-air 4-door wagon that I thrash on from time to time, hope to have it on the road this summer! All new chassis, 350/350 etc,Lots of pix, but not sure how to get them on here. ANY help you can send my way as to the process of getting pix from my sd card to this site would be Very appreciated.Would like to share some of my builds/get input from all the H.A.M.B.Bones out there. Also looks like a good place to find good homes for some of the parts I've hoarded up over the years? Thanks for sharing your pix-good motivation for the rest of us!!:cool:
