    Hello Everybody.

    My name is Mike and I'm from the Southside of Chicago.
    I was referred to this site through a reply to one of my posts on www.chitownracing.com where I was looking for some Stromberg Large Logo 97's or Holley 94's.

    I currently own a 1953 Pontiac Catalina 2DR HT that I'm making into a Rat Rod. I bought it last august for $1100.00 from a guy in Lansing, IL. The car is in amazing shape for being a midwest car. The entire car had been media blasted down to bare metal and shot in a euro primer. There is only (ONE) small rust hole on the bottom of the drivers side fender. The floors look like they rolled off the showroom floor and the frame is equally beautiful. If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all so I still can't believe I got this car..

    It currently has a Flathead Straight 8 that runs just fine but sitting next to it in the garage is a 1958 Buick 364ci Nailhead motor that will be rebuilt in the near future.

    Well, that's enough for now. I want to go explore the board. I'm sure you'll get to know me a bit more from my posts on here.

    Later guys and gals.
    Mike

    That's what I was going to say... rat rods.... makes me shiver thinking of that nowadays. Oh, and Woodfire has some mighty fine chicken!

    I grew up in Lansing, I probably drove past that car numerous times (although I don't remember seeing it.)

    Welcome!
