Hello everybody, just decided to register today. This looks like an awesome site and cant wait to chat with everybody! I live in Altoona Iowa. I own a 1956 Chevrolet that I purchased this spring out of Sunnyvale, California. It sat out there for years and years. It still has its original black and white paint on it (whats left of it) and it is going to stay that way! I bought it as a roller with a 12 bolt rearend. The entire bottom side has been professionally sand blasted and painted, its a shame you cant ever see it without getting down on your knees. I did an old school look to it with new style drivetrain. The powerplant is a 2001 LS1 with a 6 speed trans. Of course I installed a huge cam and had custom made fenderwell headers with 3 in exhaust! Here is a few pics that aren't very good, I will get some better pics up tomorrow.
Awesome! I just put an LS1 in an airplane a couple months ago! great engines! Welcome, i just got here myself.. but im diggin it!

Thanks everybody, I can sure tell that alot of people on here must be a little older because everyone is so nice! I am on some other websites with some young punk asses and get sick of people on there! Anyways, where is the HAMB drags at? I take it that there is some nostalgic racing there?
