i've been creepin' on this board for a few months now, good stuff. i just worked out a deal to trade my lowrider for my dream car, a 55 chevy 2 door post project. yup! a done to death, flat black, slow, poser, strippy race car. oh well at least it'll be my version my plan is to get it roadworthy for next spring and let it evolve with me over the rest of forever. this board has already got me inspired and is giving me great ideas on all the small stuff i know i need to get right to do this car justice.
welcome aboard. if you get the chance, you might want to check out the alter boys jalopy jamboree in natick on saturday. i am sure there will be cars there to provide you with some inspiration. here is the thread with the flyer and info: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=353372&showall=1
def. the plan is to blast this shitbox to your show then to alter boys then back to haverhill to drive it down to sturbridge sunday morning to trade for the 55, even though we're taking a trailer to get the 55. i'm gonna miss this car.
So psyched for you Mike. You need a hand with anything on the 55 let me know. I was also going to try to hit both shows exept I was thinking the other way around. Was thinking that Ralfs would run later. Not sure though.

thanks randy i appreciate it. i cant wait to get this thing back to my shop. it's already finished in my mind all that's left is to do everything. we should see who's goin to which show when. i'm down for hittn up alter boys first and then rollin to ralph's. i like the idea of late nite debauchery there (obviously). as far as the trade goes i put my shitbox up on craigslist with a whole big description of the car and at the end of it i said "i know this is a longshot BUT, will trade for 55-57 chevy project". the only real person to respond to the ad had this car up for sale on worcestor craigslist. he sends me an e-mail askin if i'm serious, and said i'm dead fuckin serious. checked it out, shes solid, a lil rough, but perfect for me. it should still be up if you wanna check it out.
