Hello all. I have been referencing the site for a long time now and I felt I should join the discussion. I am located in central Iowa and I have a couple cars. One is a 51 Fleetline Special that I ran across 6 years ago by chance and have been working on it ever since. The other, I recently purchased, is a 56 Chevy 150 2 door that is styled like a gasser. I love the look of it and I wanted something a little meaner (the fleetline is still stock drivetrain). Gramps had a green 210 in 59 and too many things about the car were telling me to buy it. Anyhow, I look forward to future shenanigans! ! Take it easy on the new guy. P.S. I would like to meet some people in person at torque fest in a month. Winter needs to die already!!!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I am planning to show up at VTF on Thursday night. We are camping all weekend. I'm driving the 51 and my dad is pulling the camper. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Also, here is a pic of the 56. I saw it at VTF last year and thought it kicked ass. I bought it from a great dude named Gene after seeing it on craigslist this winter. Not sure if he is on here at all, but he is a REAL car guy and super nice. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Welcome. Formerly from central Illinois and cruised in central Iowa often. I still have a Porkys decal on my Chevy from Des Moines.
Porky was a cool place to hang out. Too bad it was torn down. It was mostly before my time, but I remember always looking for cool cars in the lot when I drove past with my folks. I only went as an adult a couple times before it was gone. Sent from my SCH-I545 using H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks. We saw it at Torque fest last year and I thought it looked really familiar when I saw it on CL. I even had my step son stand in front of it for a picture at the show. Very happy to have found it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using H.A.M.B. mobile app
