Just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself.. I'm from Roanoke Va. and am currently building a 1960 Biscayne.. and I'm gonna need all the help I can get!
Tells us more about yourself and include pics. More about what you plan to do etc. that kind of stuff..
One of my good friends, and one ex-girlfriend are from Roanoke. Ive been there several times. Do you have pictures of the 60?
I'll have some pics posted this weekend.. Work is a beast right now.. I'm a nighttime building operations worker (glorified janitor) for the Roanoke City School system.. I work in a alternative learning center for troubled teens, it's not the most glamorous job on earth.. but I leave in the evenings knowing that I did the best job that I could. As far as what I'm going to do with the car.. I dont' really know yet.. I've owned quite a few cars.. mostly lowriders and jeeps.. this was going to be another lowrider project, but I figured there were enough lowriders in the world today.. so I thought I'd take it in a diffrent direction. yellowgreenish semi-gloss.. with darker high gloss green metal flake scallops.. black interior with green spiderweb stitching. Or maybe I'll just shoot if flat black/gloss red wheels and do mexican blanket seatcovers. It has the origional I-6.. am debating on hunting down a 348 tripower.. after I get it on the road I'll decide I guess. I saw an ad in one of the kulture mags.. spiderweb wheels/steering wheel.. anyone have an idea where I can find who manufactures them?
Go for a stationary drop-cheaper, weighs less,no hassle. I have a '62 Impala and love the '60s Bowtie shit.Go with the semi-gloss and scallops- if there's enough lowriders in the world, there's WAY too many damn black primer/red steelie cars!
