First post on here you guys , I live in Burton Ohio, 30 miles east of Cleveland . I have been in to cars since I can remember . First car was a 66 mustang convertible with a 289 got it when I was 15 . Graduated out of high school with an orange 69 roadrunner 383 auto. Oldest cars I have had included a black 38 chevy 2 door sedan driver and a red 38 coupe with a nova front end and a 327 with a 4 speed . After high school worked my way up from an auto parts delivery boy to a store manager in the 80's . then was an automotive warehouse salesman till I bought a 78 one ton chevy dump truck and started a landscape supply and maintenance business , Which is what I'm doing presently & for the duration... Right now I have a 56 chevy 2 door post belair I picked up last July and am going thru it as bucks allow..plans include 15x4 and 15x10 cragars ss rims . It has a 12 bolt 72 chevelle rearend in it , am going to do a tunnel ram intake 292 comp cam , fenderwell headers and a 4 speed. I picked up a set of 65 goat buckets for it at a fall swap meet and they have the look I'm going after . I'm looking for about a 14'' metalflake steering wheel and It's getting all new glass soon...plans are to keep it in primer and drive the heck out of it this summer....Sorry if this is too long and boring but I thought I let you guys know what I'm about & hope I'll fit in around here......pete
